Compressed air: an energy carrier that needs optimising in numerous sectors
Compressed air is an energy carrier that is frequently used in many sectors, particularly in the use of production machinery and specific pneumatic tools. Despite its abundant use, it is a complex medium to control, resulting in high operating costs. In an unmonitored installation, as much as 90% of the losses in heat generation and distribution can be linked to leaks. Compressed air costs can be contained by regularly analysing energy requirements and through technological monitoring. This applies to all new compressed air system.
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
This measure recommends strategies for the rational use of water in corporate facilities.
On average, water consumption per office employee is around:
30 to 40 l/day/employee
4 l/m2 of office space
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.
Conducting a staff awareness campaign for the eco-responsible use of water
Deciding to commit to an eco-responsible water management policy in a company, or strengthening its actions in a sustainable manner in this area, requires the support and engagement of all employees.
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.
