Energy Efficiency
TURENO assesses how businesses use energy on the basis of measurements and data, and provides consulting, engineering and implementation services to improve energy performance.
Energy consulting, energy audits, efficiency projects and work on the energy performance of buildings are addressed through an integrated approach. Technically and economically viable solutions are developed at each stage of the process, from analysis of the existing situation to the development of suitable solutions and their implementation.
Energy Management Consulting
Effective energy management requires consumption to be monitored regularly, energy use to be analyzed and improvement opportunities to be evaluated systematically.
In line with the structure and needs of the business, TURENO provides technical consulting services for managing energy use, improving performance and controlling energy costs.
Scope of Services
- Analysis of energy consumption and costs
- Identification and assessment of significant energy users and points of consumption
- Establishment and monitoring of energy performance indicators and targets
- Assessment of the energy supply structure and costs
- Identification and prioritization of energy efficiency opportunities
- Support with the appointment of an energy manager and the related notification procedures for businesses and buildings subject to obligations under the legislation
The scope of consulting is determined according to the existing structure, energy use profile and needs of the business.
Energy Audits
Energy audits are studies in which a facility's pattern of energy use and its energy-using systems are examined technically in order to identify energy efficiency opportunities. TURENO carries out audits at different levels of scope and detail, according to the existing condition, operating conditions and needs of the facility.
Preliminary Energy Audit
An entry-level audit in which the facility's pattern of energy use is reviewed in general terms and priority areas for energy efficiency work are identified.
Energy-using systems are assessed on the basis of consumption data, operational information and site observations. Areas requiring detailed examination and measurement, together with the most prominent energy efficiency opportunities, are identified.
Detailed Energy Audit
An audit in which the facility's energy use, its significant energy users and the related technical systems are analyzed comprehensively.
Energy efficiency opportunities are established through site surveys, technical measurements and engineering calculations. The expected energy savings, investment requirements and economic performance of the identified measures are assessed, and the results are presented in a technical audit report.
Mandatory energy audits that require authorization under the legislation are carried out in compliance with the legislation, together with partner Energy Efficiency Consultancy (EVD) companies authorized in the relevant field.
Investment-Grade Energy Audit
A detailed study to establish the technical and economic basis for a decision on a specific energy efficiency investment.
The existing operating conditions of the system or application concerned are analyzed, the necessary measurements and calculations are carried out, and feasible technical alternatives are developed. The alternatives are compared in terms of technical feasibility, investment cost, expected energy savings and economic return, producing the results on which the investment decision is based.
ISO 50001 Energy Management System Consulting
Under ISO 50001 Energy Management System Consulting, technical consulting and guidance are provided to help organizations establish and implement an energy management system that meets the requirements of the standard, and prepare for certification.
TURENO assesses the organization's existing structure and practices and supports the establishment of the necessary processes, the preparation of the documentation structure, the systematic monitoring of energy performance and the preparations for the certification audit.
Scope of Services
- Assessment of the existing situation against the requirements of ISO 50001 and preparation of a work plan
- Consulting on defining the scope of the Energy Management System, its organizational structure, and roles and responsibilities
- Guidance on establishing the energy policy, objectives, targets and action plans
- Work on the energy review, significant energy users, energy performance indicators and energy baselines
- Structuring of the processes for collecting, monitoring, measuring and analyzing energy data and for evaluating performance
- Preparation of draft documents for the documented information and processes required by the standard, and consulting on their use
- Support in addressing operational control, design and procurement processes in terms of energy performance, in accordance with the standard
- Establishment of a systematic approach to evaluating compliance with legal and other requirements
- Delivery of training on energy efficiency awareness, ISO 50001 requirements and internal auditing
- Preparation for internal audit, management review, and nonconformity and corrective action processes
- Consulting on preparation for the certification application and external audit, and on resolving any nonconformities identified during the audit
Within the scope of consulting, guidance is provided to the organization's representatives during the preparation of the required documents and records. Implementing the system within the business, and producing the related documents in a form suited to the organization's own activities, are carried out jointly with the organization.
The certification service itself is outside the scope of consulting; the work is aimed at making the organization ready for the certification audit.
Energy Efficiency Projects and Implementation
Suitable engineering solutions are developed to realize the energy efficiency opportunities identified through energy audits, technical analyses or operational needs. TURENO designs the energy efficiency works that have been approved for implementation in line with the facility's technical requirements, existing systems, operating conditions and investment objectives, and manages the implementation process as a whole.
Scope of Services
- Definition of the technical scope of the energy efficiency solution to be implemented
- System and equipment selection
- Preparation of engineering calculations and detailed design
- Preparation of technical specifications and implementation requirements
- Management of equipment and material procurement
- On-site implementation and installation works
- Testing, inspection and commissioning
- Post-implementation assessment of system operating conditions and performance
Selected Areas of Application
- Efficiency and retrofit applications in lighting systems
- High-efficiency motor and variable speed drive applications
- Efficiency applications in pump and fan systems
- Efficiency applications in compressed air systems
- Efficiency applications in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems
- Efficiency applications in boiler, steam and hot water systems
- Waste heat recovery systems
- Insulation and applications to reduce heat losses
- Automation and control applications
- Energy monitoring and management systems
The scope of implementation is shaped by the facility's existing systems, operating conditions and the energy efficiency opportunities identified.
Energy Performance Certificate (EKB)
The Energy Performance Certificate (EKB) is the document prepared to assess the energy performance of buildings and to determine their energy performance class. TURENO provides the service of preparing the Energy Performance Certificate for existing and new buildings and delivering it to the client.
Scope of Services
- Review of the necessary information and documents on the building and its technical systems
- Assessment of the data underlying the EKB calculations
- Building energy performance calculations
- Determination of the energy performance class
- Preparation and delivery of the Energy Performance Certificate
