The energy consumption in an industrial facility can vary depending on the type of industry and its specific processes. However, certain support, aka enterprise, equipment is known to consume significant amounts of energy. Here are some of the major energy-consuming equipment found in many industrial facilities:
- Electric motors: Electric motors are used in various industrial processes, such as pumps, fans, compressors, and conveyor systems. They often account for a substantial portion of energy usage due to their continuous operation.
- Industrial HVAC systems: Industrial facilities often require temperature and humidity control to ensure optimal working conditions and product quality. HVAC systems can consume a significant amount of energy, especially in large industrial spaces.
- Boilers and furnaces: Industries that require steam or high-temperature processes rely on boilers and furnaces, which can be major energy consumers, particularly in energy-intensive industries like steel, pulp and paper, and chemical manufacturing.
- Compressors: Compressed air is widely used in industrial applications for powering tools and equipment. However, compressed air systems can be inefficient, leading to substantial energy losses.
- Refrigeration systems: Industries like food processing and pharmaceuticals use refrigeration systems for preserving products. Refrigeration can be energy-intensive, especially when operating at low temperatures.
- Pumps: Industrial processes often require pumps for moving fluids, which can consume substantial energy, especially in continuous operation.
- Chillers: Industries that require cooling, such as data centers and chemical processing, use chillers to maintain temperatures. These systems can consume a significant amount of electricity.
Why Do Industrial Facilities Connect Their Building Services?
Increasing operations without raising costs is a top priority for many businesses. This is a challenging task because maximizing productivity often requires using more energy. Connecting their building services enables enterprises to integrate their systems and better control their operations. Some of the reasons why it’s done include:
Attain Environmental Impact Goals
Many institutions and companies have subscribed to reduce their environmental impact. Decreasing production is not an option, so reducing energy consumption in support and enterprise equipment becomes a logical and effective means of attaining site wide environmental impact goals.
Enhance Occupant Comfort
By integrating HVAC, lighting, and other services, facilities can create a more comfortable and productive environment for occupants. For instance, the integration of HVAC with occupancy sensors can adjust the temperature and air quality based on the number of people present in a specific area. Lighting integration can optimize illumination levels, reducing glare and improving visual comfort. This synchronization of services ensures that occupants are provided with optimal conditions, promoting well-being and productivity.
Improved Operational Performance
With integrated systems, facility managers can access real-time data, enabling them to monitor and control various services from a centralized platform. This improves operational efficiency as managers can identify and address issues promptly, leading to reduced downtime and maintenance costs.
Streamlined Maintenance
