Air Conditioning Inspections for Bath Spa University

Alan — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 14:58:58 +0000

Syntegra Consulting has successfully undertaken the Air Conditioning Inspection of Bath University campus buildings. Syntegra undertook the ACI inspection for a number of buildings around the campus that were provided with Air Conditioning. The inspected buildings include the Library, Student Union and Auditorium & Exhibition centre.

The undertaking of an ACI (Air Conditioning Inspection) is a legal requirement according to article 9 of the Energy Performance Building Directive in England and Wales (EPBD). Air Conditioning Inspections are mandatory for all buildings with installed systems with rated cooling output greater than 12kW. The air conditioning inspection consisted of site inspections and the production of the Air Conditioning Inspection reports, which presents the site inspections findings and the recommendations for improving the system’s energy efficiency in order to save energy and reduce carbon emissions.

The Bath Spa University buildings inspected lie under the packaged cooling and centralized cooling systems assessment since they are air conditioned by a number of VRV systems, single DX split systems and centralized Air Handling Unit (AHU) systems.

Syntegra consulting has managed to identify areas of improving the energy efficiency further of the building’s air conditioning system. Recommendations were made in upgrading AC equipment and control methodology. In addition, Syntegra investigated in improving the AC system’s efficiency and buildings overall energy performance further, by recommending the use of LED lighting. LED lighting is the most energy efficient lighting technology compared to conventional technologies. Furthermore, LED lighting generates minimum heat, which helps reducing a building’s cooling load from lighting. Therefore, LEDs not only reduce the lighting electricity cost, but also the AC (air conditioning) cost of electricity due to reduced heat gains (cooling load). In addition, Syntegra managed to present solutions involving energy/heat recovery systems.

LED lighting Consultant – Oakhill College, Middlesex

Alan — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 20:54:21 +0000

Syntegra Consulting has successfully undertaken a FREE LED Feasibility study for Oakhill College in Middlesex. The FREE LED feasibility study involved a site survey and a feasibility report by Syntegra’s LED consultants. The FREE LED feasibility study assessed the potential for installing LED lamps by calculating the building’s current lighting electricity consumption and recommending LED options to reduce electricity costs and carbon emissions. The site survey determined the type, condition and quantity of existing lighting. Syntegra Consulting’s free on-site survey catalogued every existing light fitting and its current output. The information was collated and the current electricity consumption costs were calculated. The lighting site survey found the Oakhill College heavily relying on fluorescent lighting.

The recommendations given took into account lighting design, investment costs and payback periods. The LED feasibility presented total energy and carbon savings of 66%. In essence, a conversion from fluorescent lamps to LED lamps would generate energy savings of 57,300kWh per year and cabon savings of 24 tonnes per year. The feasibility study clearly shows the savings of LED Vs Fluorescent lights. The feasibility study was concluded with a proposal recommending new LED lamps or LED fitting retrofits, together with detailed investment and installation costs, as well as the payback period estimated at 3.7 years with LEDs Lifetime of 19 years

Syntegra Consulting is an independent energy consultancy and can source products from major LED lighting manufacturers. The company will specify the optimum light sources for its clients for any specific project. For more information on the Free LED Feasibility Survey, contact Syntegra Consulting Ltd
