Doubling the rate of improvement in energy efficiency

Why it matters

Energy is the golden thread that connects economic growth, increased social equity, and environmental sustainability that allows the world to thrive.

Improving energy efficiency is one of the most cost effective measures industries can take. Energy efficient technologies use less energy while providing the same or better output. Deploying such technologies can substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Energy efficiency also provides other benefits such as economic development, job creation, reduction of pollution, improvement in human health, and alleviation of poverty.

What we do

Energy Productivity Assurance Program

Energy productivity maintenance is a continuous process and needs a long-term action plan to substantially benefit your organisation. If implemented judiciously, a strong energy efficiency system can help you drastically reduce your electricity bill, optimise your energy footprint to speed up your cost-cutting project, and make your business environment-friendly and sustainable in the long run. It also holds the power to simplify your business processes to a great extent, and to make your value-chain more systematic and efficient.
EPAP is a comprehensive program that includes baselining, IGEA, end-to-end implementation support, EE System Monitoring & Maintenance Support, necessary transition trainings and periodic savings validation, etc. It comes with multiple distinguished phases from identifying improvement areas, devising and implementing suitable energy management system, to long-term M&V and maintenance of the system, for fostering energy productivity in the long term and producing significant holistic improvement of your system.
EWX acts in a PDCA cycle with EPAP to ensure perpetual improvement through continual actions and activities. We partner with you starting from the first to last activity through the PDCA cycle, and provide all necessary support right from conducting the audits, preparing forms, formats & manuals, handholding during equipment selection and installation, to verification of the energy savings, training of personnel, implementation and certification of energy management system, etc. up until providing data analysis services for better business operation.

PAT

Perform Achieve and Trade (PAT) is a government driven regulatory instrument in India to reduce specific energy consumption in energy intensive industries, with an associated market-based mechanism to enhance the cost effectiveness through certification of excess energy saving which can be traded. If you are a stakeholder of a manufacturing plant in India, chances are you already have been and/or will be subjected to PAT compliance under BEE.
If you are enlisted under PAT cycle but not very familiar with how it works, or do not have the workforce to dedicate a team for PAT compliance 24*7, we have got you covered. PAT compliance in an extensive process through which you can account for your energy footprint, enhance your energy efficiency, and also be suitably rewarded for your contribution to lower the energy consumption of Indian industries.
At EWX, we familiarize ourselves with your business and understand your needs to support you through your PAT compliance with just as much assistance as you need. Our dedicated team of expert energy professionals work with you throughout your 3-year-cycle to help you achieve your target, and our BEE empanelled energy auditors can be trusted blindly for conducting your mandatory energy audits.

Investment Grade Energy Audits

An investment grade energy audit is detailed exercise for assessing the energy footprint of the organisation and mapping the optimisation strategies on a sustainable basis. Our IGEA report is directly bankable for external financing needs with detailed financial and optional CMA analysis. EWX is a Bureau of Energy Efficiency empanelled firm eligible for conducting Mandatory Energy Audits across the Designated Consumer sectors under the The Energy Conservation Act (ECA) of 2001 [1, 2], amended in 2010 [3].

Energy Balancing and Optimisation Study

Taken as an in-depth approach to quantifying the energy footprint of the different organisational processes, even including that are of external in nature; this is a vital assessment for planning for energy sustainability and risk management. Energy balancing and footprint assessment involved through and through assessment of all energy intensive activities of the organisation and looks at the sustainable alternatives in the longer term. In-depth process optimisation study ensures that complex processes are broken down to smaller, simpler parts and optimised in unison. Process optimisation study looks beyond traditional core energy metrics like specific energy consumption and includes more operational parameters like System & Equipment Availability, MTBF & MTTR etc.

Energy management System (ISO 50001)

Used by large and small organizations across the world to manage and reduce energy use and costs, ISO 50001:2018 is an excellent framework to help implement an energy management system (EnMS). From large industries to smaller manufacturers and small businesses, the standard offers organizations the opportunity to become more resilient against energy costs and availability. Whether you’re interested in applying the fundamentals of ISO 50001 to reduce costs, comply with legislation or increase your sustainability, implementing the standard provides a systematic approach to achieving all three. Building on over 10 years’ human experience in designing and advising on management systems, EWX offers a complete, end-to-end service for creating your EnMS. Staring with a simple gap analysis to pinpoint where your current energy management approach differs from the relevant international frameworks (e.g. ISO 50001:2018) and industry best practices, the system can be traced to its extreme-most fringes where continual improvement is achieved through strategic actions.

ECBC

Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) was developed by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) which sets minimum energy performance standards of the various components of the building, while taking into the account the climatic zone in which it is located. The code is applicable to large commercial buildings having a connected load of 100 KW and above or contract demand 120 kVA and above and covers the building systems : Building Envelope, Lighting, Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioners, Service Water Heating, and Electric Power and Distributions. The code provides for energy efficient design for commercial building such that it reduces the use of energy without affecting the building function, comfort, health or productivity of the occupants and with appropriate regard for economic considerations. The code eliminates building design practices that lead to unnecessarily high building energy use and associated costs.
