Faced with ever-dwindling water resources, using rainwater represents a responsible a sustainable choice. Rainwater is a sustainable resource that can be harnessed in many ways to reduce drinking water consumption and save money.
Implementing a rainwater harvesting system supports environmental objectives by offering an ecological and responsible alternative to conventional water use

On average, water consumption per office employee is around:
These parameters are obviously highly dependent on the company’s business line, the facilities in the building and employee behaviour. Optimising water use in a building contributes to improving the environmental, economic, and functional sustainability of buildings.

Raising awareness is an important step in generating interest and motivating employees. It ensures that everyone understands the objectives and challenges involved, the role they have to play, and how they can contribute to the success of initiatives and the performance of actions implemented by their organisation.

It is therefore becoming increasingly more important for companies not only to control their electricity costs but also to optimise consumption and self-generation in order to maximise their energy potential – for example through the use of a photovoltaic system, and in some cases, in combination with a battery storage system.
Commercial and industrial battery storage systems, with capacities ranging from 30 kWh to several MWh, enable companies to increase the self-consumption of on-site renewable electricity generation and thus reduce energy costs. By reducing power peaks, they allow for improved peak load management and thereby significantly reduce a company’s electricity bill. To fully leverage your battery’s capacity and increase your profits it is equally essential to install an energy management system (EMS).
The following measure outlines in which scenario the installation of a battery storage system is recommended and beneficial – and how its implementation can be planned.

By adopting sustainable and circular procurement practices, businesses contribute to a greener and more resilient economy. This also includes favouring, where possible, suppliers engaged in ecological and ethical practices, which reduces the overall environmental impact. This approach will help reduce acquisition costs in the long term as products last longer and are reused. In addition, it strengthens the company’s image by positioning it as a responsible player committed to protecting the environment and social values. By promoting these ethical and sustainable practices, companies also improve the resilience of their supply chain, making it less vulnerable to disruptions and fluctuations in resources.

Installing a centralised refrigeration unit generally offers better efficiency than a decentralised installation, reduces noise and heat disturbance in occupied rooms and frees up space in the cooled area, as the equipment is installed in a dedicated room.
However, this solution requires a higher investment and the involvement of a qualified refrigeration technician. Below are all the necessary steps to prepare for the installation of a centralised refrigeration system.

Energy consumption for heating can fluctuate depending on the weather and due to air leaks in the building envelope, especially when it’s poorly or not insulated. For more information on ways to improve the building envelope, please refer to the measure Improving the energy efficiency of the building envelope
Continue reading “Effectively manage the temperature within buildings”Achieving an effective energy transition within a company and meeting sustainability goals depends not only on adopting new technologies, but above all on the active involvement of employees. Their daily behaviour, understanding of the issues, and proper use of equipment have a direct impact on the company’s energy and environmental performance.
To this end, it is essential to regularly engage in targeted training programmes tailored to the company’s specific needs, whether related to production activities, mobility, internal procedures, or overall business management.
Here is an overview of the types of training and contact points available in Luxembourg.
