4TH INDUSTRIALISTS FORUM

Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency:

Emerging Business Opportunities for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

14th

& 15th

of May 2012


2/12

Standardizing testingprocedures for AC units

Clear labeling of star rating

and spreading publicawareness among consumers

Mandatory regulationsenforced in the Kingdom for

minimum EERs on AC units &guidance for the generalpublic in choosing higher starunits


3/12

Using the Star Rating system on appliances

Televisions: LED vs. LCD

Refrigeration: low kW/year usage Stoves: induction cookers


4/12

Energy reduction solution e.g.Airconmiser

Heat recovery unit e.g.NuAire

Installing a high quality digitalthermostat

Using double glazed insulated

windows Installing high R-value thermal

insulation on walls


5/12

Enables split unit or window-mounted unit tooperate using up to 61% less electricity

Enhances air quality by stabilizing temperatureand humidity levels

Works alongside existing thermostat, improvingAC using clever controls

Lowers energy consumption and so shrinks

carbon footprint, is good for the nationaleconomy & protects finite natural resources


6/12

Synthetic Refrigerant Additive(SRA) is a non corrosive liquidadded to refrigerants on cooling

systems Easily installed on existing

systems within minutes andworks with all common

refrigerants Increases cooling capacity and

reduces energy consumption byup to 35%


7/12

A system of micro computer digital optimization modulesdesigned to reduce electrical consumption & maximumdemand of refrigeration and AC compressors

Optimizing AC & refrigeration compressors while

operating within existing control parameters Designed to interface with all types and makes of AC &

refrigeration controllers, fromsimplest form to most sophisticated

Unlike rigid conventional controlsystems, ESMs are highly reactiveand automatically adjust tochanging load conditions


8/12

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) arereliable electronic devices thatcontrol three-phase electric speed

Reduce amps during motor starting,

lowering demand charges Inherent soft starting minimizes wear

& tear on motors, sheaves, belts,couplings & other systemcomponents

Provide accurate HVAC controlsettings, significantly lower electricalconsumption and minimizing carbonfootprint


9/12

Investigating currentsituation

Analyzing/highlightingwhere major consumptionis lying

Identifying possible savingssolutions, and estimatingpotential energy reduction

Implementing completeintegrated facilitymanagement solution toreduce energy consumption


10/12

An Energy Service Company (ESCO) is abusiness that develops, installs, andarranges financing for projects designed toimprove energy efficiency & maintenancecosts for a facility over a 7 to 20 year time

period Services offered by ESCOs are typically:

developing, designing, arranging financesfor energy efficiency projects, installing &maintaining the energy efficient equipmentinvolved, measuring, monitoring &

verifying a projects energy savings ESCO services are bundled into a projects

costs, and are repaid through the savingsgenerated


11/12

Regulations The need to have mandatory

legislation.

Buildings New and existing inside and out

People Awareness attitude social

responsibility

We need to act now to preserve the future oil


12/12

Thank you for the opportunity
