Save thermal energy! West Midlands European Service presents results of energy audits to West Midlands’ companies and organisations
The West Midlands European Service, together with technical experts from the EU Project EINSTEIN II presented the outcomes of already conducted thermal energy audits to companies and organisations in the West Midlands. Industrial thermal energy demand, for heating and cooling, constitutes about 28% of the total final energy demand and produces about 21% of the CO2 emissions in Europe. West Midlands European Service helped to detect substantial potential to save energy thermal consumption and energy costs.
The EINSTEIN team conducted several thermal energy audits in companies and organisations in West Midlands in April and November 2011. Using a free source tool for thermal energy audits developed within EINSTEIN II, the team was able to generate highly useful analysis of the thermal energy consumption of the participants. On the basis of these results, the EINSTEIN team proposed several solutions and advised next steps in saving energy, hence contributing to the economic longevity of the specific businesses and organisations.
The West Midlands European Service also organised a highly successful conference on “Green Breweries” together with Campden BRI. Using the EINSTEIN approach, the energy performance of breweries was explored and ideas for energy savings were discussed.
The EINSTEIN II (http://www.einstein-energy.net/) is a European Union funded project under the Intelligent Energy Europe programme, that was put together to address the aforementioned issues, aiming at a widespread implementation of integrated energy-efficient solutions for thermal energy supply.
The project builds on the success of the EINSTEIN tool kit for thermal energy auditing that has been developed within a previous funding stream. The tool kit, based on an expert system software tool, guides the user through the whole procedure from auditing, data processing, elaboration, to design and quantitative evaluation of alternative solutions.

West Midlands European Service helps reduce thermal energy
As part of the EINSTEIN II project West Midlands European Service as a lead partner, organised a set of successful training sessions and thermal energy audits for companies and organisations in the West Midlands. The aim of the training sessions was to train energy managers and consultants in successfully using a free source tool while the conclusions of the audits will help the organisations involved to reduce their energy up to 20%.
Industrial thermal energy demand, for heating and cooling, constitutes about 28% of the total final energy demand and produces about 21% of the CO2 emissions in Europe. Space heating and cooling in buildings contributes another 27% to the final energy demand. Despite improvements in energy efficiency over the last decade, there remains a large unexploited potential for reducing energy demand that can be achieved by the intelligent combination of existing solutions and technologies.
