The project consists in setting up a speed regulation system on the extractor fan, activated by the machines in operation which actually require the extraction of sawdust or fumes. It involves the addition of valves and a speed variator on the extractor fan. The valves open only when the machine is operating and the fan flow rate adjusts according to the pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Installing this technology, which has been available on the market for more than 5 years, the company can save significantly, up to 50%, on its electricity bills (depending on the baseline production regime) and reduce its carbon footprint. This measure is quite simple to implement, can show a rapid return on investment, and does not require a production shutdown during installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Reducing the extractor fan speed reduces the fan\u2019s power consumption exponentially. What\u2019s more, if the filter is not equipped with energy recovery, the heat of the extracted air is simply replaced by fresh outside air. By installing a heat exchanger, it is possible to decrease the workshop\u2019s heating consumption in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adjusting the air extraction to the actual operation of the machines therefore makes it possible to save on electricity (fan) and heating bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note: any application for government or non-government subsidies must comply with the “incentive effect”, subject to compliance with the subsidy conditions.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong> N.B. While several state subsidies cannot be granted for the same project, they can be combined with assistance from energy suppliers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Since 2015, natural gas and electricity suppliers are required to make energy savings for consumers under the obligation scheme. Since then, energy suppliers have been offering support and advice, as well as subsidy programmes for consumers to implement energy efficiency measures. The amount of the premium is proportional to the annual energy saving (in MWh). The following suppliers offer this service for companies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n N.B.: Supplier subsidies can be combined with a state subsidy for the same project.<\/p>\n\n\n The tax relief is calculated based on the investments and operating expenses incurred as part of an ecological and energy transition project. For the project to be eligible, it must meet at least one of the following objectives:<\/p>\n For certain objectives, minimum thresholds must be met. Further details and conditions: Guichet.lu<\/a>

\nThe tax relief rate is set at 18% and is applied directly to the amount of tax due.
\nThis deduction can be combined with standard state subsidies.<\/p>\n\n
\nTo verify your eligibility and ensure that these thresholds are satisfied, it is recommended that the impact of the measure on one of the above conditions be certified by an expert or a design office.<\/p>\n
