An Energy Audit is the first step to understanding how energy is used within a building. This gives insights on how to cost-effectively reduce energy consumption and operating costs as well as improve environmental impact.
Walk-Through Audit (WTA)
A Walk-Through Audit is a diagnosis of a facility’s performance in terms of energy consumption. The WTA provides an overview of potential energy savings and the main improvements to achieve them. The WTA analysis consists of several key elements:
Investment-Grade Audit (IGA)
An Investment-Grade Audit represents a deeper level of analysis of a facility’s energy consumption. Through an IGA, we provide a fully detailed description of the building consumption profile together with a savings model based on highly accurate metering of all end uses of energy. Elements of the IGA include:
Energy Saving Performance Contracts (ESPCs) allow organizations to accomplish energy-saving projects without up-front capital costs. Icopower ESCO is financing projects with its own capital and is getting paid through a portion of the savings achieved. Icopower ESCO aims at delivering the best energy saving solutions in Kenya which can produce positive cash-flow for their clients from the start.
With our ESPCs, our clients can leverage green, scalable, cost-effective and easy to deploy integrated energy saving technology solutions
in order to increase energy efficiency, make lighting and power systems reliable, reduce carbon emissions, and lower the operation costs. Payment for our solutions is based on the savings achieved for the Client. Once the savings are measured & verified, the Client can opt for a fixed monthly payment out of the savings or a percentage share (typically 50%) of the savings to be calculated monthly based on the Client’s kWh consumption.
Icopower executes energy saving performance contracts (ESPCs) at the heart of which there is a strict requirement for accurate measurement and verification procedures.
Icopower has developed it’s M&V methodologies in adherence to International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) which is maintained by Efficiency Valuation Organization.
IPMVP is continuously maintained EVO which releases Core Concept Guidelines every year.
In brief Icopower embeds in its measurement and verification methodologies a combination of M&V recipes depending on the structure of energy efficiency project.
Why IPMVP?
The framework followed by Icopower-Esco to develop a credible an high quality measurement and verification process relies on the inclusion of Icopower-Esco’s Energy management information systems (EnMIS) which helps with the supply of accurate measured dependent and independent data for use in routine and nonroutine adjustments and provided in the energy savings determination formula
Energy Savings = Baseline Energy Consumption – Post Retrofit Energy Consumption ± Routine/Non-Routine Adjustments
Icopower applies an appropriate combination of the following IPMVP options to deliver accurate measurement and verification services in its projects.
Icopower has capacity to act as a third-party M&V Service provider when an organisation is in pursuit of a credible and independent M&V opinion.
Icopower-Esco applies a strict and ethical standard to its M&V procedures to ensure delivery of results that establish and/or reinforce the confidence of business leaders in the power of properly deployed energy efficiency solutions.
Icopower ESCO offers thermography services to identify areas for potential savings. Some of the potential energy saving opportunities in facilities arise from frequent preventive maintenance in facilities. Thermography utilizes radiation emitted in the infrared light spectrum to measure surface temperatures by using specially designed infrared video and still cameras. It reveals thermal problems that are simply undetectable to the human eye
A thermographic inspection can detect problems without shutting down the equipment, or interfering with production. Infrared Thermography reveals maintenance problems that are visually undetectable. This technology enables us to detect overloaded circuits, faulty insulation of both electrical cables and steam lines, faulty connections and other defective electrical components. These faulty systems are normally health hazards and also a source of energy wastage.
Prudent Energy management practice hinges on appropriate data acquisition and management. Typical data in a good energy management system includes;
Accurate acquisition, processing and reporting of energy use data is key in determining appropriate demand side management (DSM) measures for various applications.
Icopower-Esco’s energy management information system combines the power of artificial intelligence with the accurate energy and operational data capture to help facilities achieve energy efficiency targets.
The platform incorporates features of machine learning to deliver the following.
The platform also incorporates functions of International performance measurement and verification protocol (IPMVP) to help facilities with accurate measurements and verification services in energy efficiency projects
