Energy Efficient Design
Capstone Energy Management
The greatest opportunity to reduce lifecycle energy and carbon is at the early design stages of new investments.
Up to 95% of the lifecycle cost is already committed by the end of the design process. The short time-bound period of design provides the greatest energy saving potential with the most attractive return on investment.
Energy Efficient Design is a systematic approach whereby energy efficiency is incorporated into the design, construction and commissioning of an investment project, so as to minimize the energy consumption and related carbon emissions throughout the operating life cycle of the asset.
Benefits of Energy Efficient Design
At Capstone Energy Management, our experienced Building Energy Efficiency Designers help organisations maximise the opportunity to improve energy performance and gain associated benefits, such as reduced operational costs, improved competitiveness, and the potential reputational boost from their demonstrated commitment to sustainability.
- Operational Efficiency: Optimize energy performance and efficiency.
- Lifecycle cost savings: Reduce energy bills and operational expenses over the lifetime of the asset.
- Environmental Impact: Lower greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption over lifetime of the asset.
- Corporate Social Responsibility: Demonstrate commitment to sustainability.
- Reduce project capex: Minimise the capital costs associated with the purchase of equipment by specifying only the minimum required to meet energy service requirements.
- Improving competitiveness
- Increase asset value: Energy-efficient buildings, with reduced operating costs, can command higher rents, thereby increasing overall asset value,
EXEED Financial support
The EXEED grant from SEAI aims to incentivize and support businesses in adopting best practices in energy-efficient design, ultimately leading to improved energy performance and operational efficiency. The EXEED grant provides funding for up to 50% of the project costs.
Capstone Energy Management can guide and support your business through each stage of the grant from application to payment.
