In commercial buildings, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) electricity consumption can typically account for around 40 per cent of total building energy consumption1.
Shell Energy’s HVAC LoadFlex program makes it possible to achieve reductions in energy use, create additional revenue streams and improve performance and environmental outcomes, often without the need to resort to more costly energy-efficiency strategies, such as plant upgrades.
Our solution can intelligently reduce the total quantity of energy you use and shift your time of use by automating control of your chiller plant. We install an optimisation device at your chiller plant to automatically adjust your energy usage.
This lets you take advantage of demand management opportunities and make use of lower tariff options,where available. By participating in our demand response program and automatically controlling HVAC consumption at peak times, you can earn additional revenue.
We can also help you to take advantage of various government scheme rebates that may be able to assist in project funding.
Our solution is ideal for any Shell Energy customer with a large central chiller plant and a minimum electricity usage of 1 gigawatt hour (GWh) per annum.
If you’re not currently a Shell Energy customer, talk to us about undertaking a feasibility assessment to understand how HVAC LoadFlex may be able to assist when it’s time to re-contract.
