Energy and resource efficiency

We support our clients in the analysis of processes, efficiency improvement measures and decarbonisation strategies for production facilities and buildings. 

The supply of operational energy causes high costs to companies as well as in buildings and often has significant environmental impacts. However, the potential for savings in energy and material flows is often neglected.

Questions and answers on energy optimisation and energy monitoring

What can Rapp provide in the field of e-mobility?

Rapp's energy-monitoring programme involves systematically recording, analysing and evaluating energy consumption data in a specific area. This can, for example, be a building, an industrial plant or a company. Energy monitoring usually covers the following aspects:

Data acquisition: We install sensors and meters to measure energy consumption in real time.

  • Data analysis: We analyse the collected data and identify patterns and trends in energy consumption.
  • Reporting: We create reports and dashboards to visualise energy consumption data and present it in an understandable way.
  • Identification of potential savings: Data analysis enables us to find areas where energy consumption can be optimised and costs reduced.
  • Monitoring of energy efficiency measures: We monitor the impact of the measures implemented for improving energy efficiency.
  • Regular review: On the basis of the data collected, we continuously adapt and improve our energy management strategies.

 

How does Rapp support companies in implementing an energy-monitoring system?

We offer various measures and activities with which we make implementation easier for companies. Support with the installation and configuration of hardware and software is part of this. This ensures that they function properly. Our services also include the periodic review of the system and the collected data. Our feedback helps you make effective adjustments.

We also offer training for employees to help them understand and effectively utilise technologies and processes. In addition, we are happy to support you with project management, for example by keeping an eye on time frames, resources and budgets.

 Our services also include support in creating reports and dashboards. These help in presenting the results of the data analysis in an understandable way. This is necessary in order to provide decision-makers with the best possible data.

 

What are the benefits of energy monitoring for the energy efficiency of Rapp's customers?

Our customers benefit, among other things, from the fact that they receive a clear overview of theirenergy consumption. As a result, consumption patterns can be recognised and identified. Energy monitoring also serves to identify potential savings. This is achieved, for example, by detecting appliances or processes with excessive energy consumption. Targeted measures are used to optimise processes and reduce consumption.

Energy monitoring also enables our customers to recognise deviations in energy consumption at an early stage. These usually indicate technical problems. With the help of monitoring, expensive repairs and breakdowns can be avoided.

That means our energy monitoring saves you money. And you achieve your sustainability goals. This improves the environmental awareness of your company and has a positive effect on your image.

 

How are the achievements and savings of energy optimisation by Rapp documented and analysed?

We carry out the documentation and analysis of the energy optimisation results in several steps. In this way, we ensure that the results are understandable and informative.

The first step is the systematic recording of energy consumption data – before and after the implementation of energy-saving measures. The record includes the consumption values and the operating conditions that can influence consumption.

To enable the values obtained to be analysed, a baseline is defined and applied to the data prior to optimisation. It is used for comparison with the data after optimisation and to analyse the measures implemented.

To calculate the savings, the current consumption values are compared with the baseline. The difference can be expressed in absolute figures or as a percentage. Analysing the data reveals the reasons for the savings. For example, this may be due to seasonal fluctuations or changes in operating procedures.

The results of the analysis serve as a basis for feedback, which may lead to adjustments in energy management. Successful measures and strategies are also documented. That lays the foundation for future optimisation processes.

After the analysis, energy monitoring is continued in order to maintain tracking of energy consumption. This allows us to check whether the optimisation measures taken are also effective in the long term. It may also be possible to identify further potential savings.

 

When can a company expect the results of energy optimisation by Rapp?

When the results of energy optimisation can be expected depends on various factors. Decisive factors include which measures are implemented and how complex the energy management system is. The specific company circumstances also play an important role.

Some measures can be implemented within a few months. These include converting the lighting to LED or adjusting the operating times. Such strategies are quickly implemented and bring immediate savings.

It takes around three to six months to implement medium-term measures. For example, the optimisation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. The introduction of energy-monitoring systems is also one of the medium-term strategies. Supporting data should be collected and used to adapt the measures.

For measures such as the comprehensive modernisation of buildings, results can only be expected after at least six months. Nor are investments in energy-efficient technologies designed for the short term. It may take more than a year for the measures to have an impact on energy consumption. It is important to set realistic goals and continuously monitor progress.
