Seylan Towers installs smart energy saving system through PEP
View(s):Perth Eco Power (PEP), a pioneer in the energy conservation services field, recently completed installing advanced energy management systems in Seylan Bank’s Head Office, the Seylan Towers.
These systems bearing energy-efficient chillers are slated to reduce Seylan Towers’ monthly energy bill by 15 per cent, according to Dammica Wickramaratne, Chairman PEP. He said that over 20 per cent of the energy in commercial buildings is used for Heating, Ventilation and Cooling (HVAC). He said that in the existing HVAC systems used in buildings, there is a consumption of about 50 to 60 per cent of the total energy buildings are the main power consumers and is the largest consumer in upgrade their existing HVAC systems and the introduce cutting edge energy management systems.
Mr. Wickramaratne said this is the right time to be in Sri Lanka as companies now are not only thinking of initial investment, but are considering the return on investment as well. “With an efficient HVAC system and dynamic energy and space monitoring system your property has additional value. It does not matter whether it is a hospital, school, hotel or an office building this technology is beneficial to all. In America this technology is in 50 per cent of the market. In Canada and Australia it is higher. We can save about 40 to 50 per cent of your energy consumption compared to other conventional technologies all this is through simply changing your chiller”.
