Installation or replacement of a centralised refrigerating system
Cold production is used to cool down a room or a component, preserve food products, control the temperature of a process or ensure proper air conditioning.
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.
Effectively manage the temperature within buildings
The ambient temperature in the workplace is essential to ensure that employees feel comfortable and can work in optimal conditions. It should be adjusted according to the activities carried out on site.
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
Improving one’s knowledge in the fields of energy and sustainability through targeted and professional training
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.
Calculating your carbon footprint allows you to draw up a comprehensive inventory of the direct and indirect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions generated by your company’s activities. This assessment supports informed decision-making aimed at reducing emissions by identifying the main sources and priority areas for action. It also allows you to communicate this information transparently, whether to meet legal obligations or on a voluntary basis, in order to demonstrate the company’s actions and commitments.
Managing water responsibly in company outdoor spaces
A responsible water management around company buildings is essential to reduce the environmental impact while optimising resources. By adapting landscaping and infrastructure, it is possible to preserve water resources in a sustainable way by maximising rainwater harvesting.
This measure combines water savings, biodiversity preservation and greater resilience to climate change.
Detection of water usage, losses and overconsumption to identify optimization levers
In order to gain a clear overview of the company’s water situation, it is important to monitor its water consumption. A water audit is a key step in initiating an optimization process and adopting a circular and sustainable approach to water management.
To address the main questions before starting the project and to guide you through the various steps, it is recommended to consult a design office specialising in water. In any case, your sector representative (your chamber or federation) can also provide guidance and support.
