4 Want to save money by saving energy? Energy costs your firm money increasing amounts of it. And using energy inefficiently normally means your firm is being inefficient in other ways too. So, whether you re running a factory or a commercial building, investing in measures to improve Energy Efficiency (EE) can save money, modernise your overall performance, help your firm become more competitive and help your bottom line. And it can do so in all sorts of ways: A general re-equipment will improve energy efficiency: high-productivity, highquality modern technologies tend to be energy-saving, while ageing kit may be prone to breakdown as well as energy inefficient to start with; Thermal insulation of your premises will mean lower energy bills and a happier, more productive workforce. So can modernising your lighting system or upgrading your air-conditioning system; Replacing old boilers with modern, energy-efficient ones can save money; So can installing co-generation equipment, which produces electricity as well as heat; Replacing old chillers with modern ones or with ground heat pumps can slash electricity bills; Variable speed drive controls can improve the efficiency of your existing motors, fans and pumps.

Your company must be privately owned It s not difficult for an investment to qualify as an energy efficiency project for SUNREF purposes: 1.

The resultant energy savings for some investments must be at least 20%: aggressive EE measures generally produce a lot more. 3. Energy savings must account for at least 50% of the overall IRR: so there s scope for financing general modernisation that incorporates EE. Projects must also meet the Partner Bank s terms and conditions.
