Clive Bodenham, Founder of Clarke Controls, looks at why autumn is the season for smarter energy savings.
When facilities managers think of energy savings, winter often springs to mind. It’s the season of high bills and heating demands, so it follows that this is the ideal time to cut costs.
In reality, the biggest opportunities for savings come in the so-called ‘shoulder seasons’ of spring and autumn. These transitional periods, with their unpredictable swings in temperature, create the ideal conditions for an Energy Management System (EMS) to deliver meaningful and measurable results.
At Clarke Controls, we regularly see our customers achieve year-on-year energy reductions of up to 25% – and it’s in spring and autumn where most of those savings are made.
