Energy is and remains an essential, economic basis for the industrialised world. Industries could be classified into heavy energy consumer, medium energy consumer and low energy consumer. Some organisations have started doing energy audits in their plants, offices, etc. Such studies has highlighted waste of energy and requirement of energy efficient technology. In other words, energy efficiency equates to cost efficiency - a clear competitive advantage. Trade and industry can considerably reduce their energy consumption in the coming years without endangering productivity. Oil prices have more than doubled in the last few years. High prices have caused plant closings, loss of manufacturing jobs, and hardship for low-income households. Energy efficiency measures are needed to balance supply with demand and thus reduce high prices and restore economic competitiveness. Our goal at St Paul Automation and Controls, Incorporated is to provide adequate, reliable and affordable energy to industries to enable them to provide continuous employment and low cost of goods and services, and to the ordinary citizen - to enable them to achieve a decent lifestyle. Energy should not only be produced and used in a manner that will promote sustainable development and utilization of the country's natural resources but at the same time contribute to the country's overall economic competitiveness and minimise negative environmental impacts. Globally, in all fields of industry, the potential for improved energy efficiency through improved procedures is significant. Today, most companies could potentially reduce their consumption of electricity and associated costs by 5% to 50%. In most cases, the payback period is less than two years and the return on investment is more than 25%. Therefore, measures that improve energy efficiency are extremely appealing to companies for economic reasons. Large Corporations or factories have bigger administration offices like accounts, sales, purchase, human resources, production planning, canteens, rest rooms, common rooms, etc. Each department or sections has certain utilities like air conditioners, photocopiers, fans, air washers, lights, etc. Cost reduction in energy bill can be achieved through proper monitoring optimisation of equipments such as LIGHTING, HEATING, PUMPS and COOLING FANS.
