The following are the highlights from the analysis of the LIEN data:

• An estimated 585 GWh of energy savings were achieved through the implementation of specific energy-saving measures by LIEN members.

• The LIEN network as a whole recorded a loss in energy performance of 0.5%. However, when the data from a single large energy user which had a reduced energy performance is excluded, there was an average energy performance improvement within the network of 1.3%.

• With the exception of the electronics sector, the level of output increased across all sectors in 2011. This builds on the increase in output recorded in 2010 following the declines of 2009.

• The majority of sectors within the network have over the last two to three years recorded increased output levels; this coupled with improved energy performance levels has resulted in a significant and consistent reduction in the Total Primary Energy Requirement (TPER).

• A trend emerging from the categorisation of energy saving opportunities and projects highlights an increase in capital investment within the network.

• Energy Management Systems continue to be the most significant driver for actions undertaken.

• The LIEN grew to 160 companies in 2011 and now represents over 15% of national TPER.

It is heartening to see that the large Industry energy network (lIen) continues to make substantial progress, and contributes so strongly to our target of 20% energy savings across the economy by 2020. the benefits, however, are multiple; energy management provides further economic, environmental and social benefits, including competitiveness, operational cost savings, industrial productivity, sustained employment and job creation.

the experience developed in energy management over the last 17 years is clearly paying great dividends. Indeed, Ireland is now seen as one of the global leaders in energy management, as evidenced by the success of Irish companies abroad and our hosting of an international conference on energy management systems in may 2012.

the lIen data show efficiency gains across the network, with an increase in most sectors. In particular, the energy performance of the food sector – which comprises the greatest percentage of lIen membership – has improved every year for the past five years. In fact this sector, which represents indigenous industry, is the only sector to have achieved this, and is contributing strongly to Ireland’s economic recovery.

the medical, pharmachem and ICt sectors, mainly involving foreign direct investment, have also a very good track record in energy performance over the past few years. this enhances Ireland’s reputation as a good place in which to invest and locate.

the combination of energy policy, Government measures and seAI activities has led to increasing investment by the commercial and public sectors generally in energy efficiency upgrades. It has also supported the utility providers who, through voluntary agreements, will make important contributions to reducing energy demand into the future. meanwhile, energy service companies have benefited by winning new business and testing innovative service agreements in the form of energy performance contracts. the business case for energy investments is attractive and is leading to widespread capacity-building in the network.

Section 1 Introduction 9

our future economic prosperity and wellbeing will depend to a large extent on how we face up to the challenges of the ongoing economic difficulties. the lIen, with seAI’s support, is setting a great example. In the industrial sector, Ireland is performing better than the european average in the area of energy efficiency and savings. We are continually reinforcing our reputation for energy expertise, while improving our competitiveness and – of prime importance – creating jobs. Congratulations to all concerned.

Pat Rabbitte, TD

Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources


the large Industry energy network (lIen), formed in 1995, has developed into one of the world’s leading energy efficiency networks. It enables Ireland’s largest energy users to co-develop and share best practice in energy management. It is encouraging to see how, despite the tough economic circumstances, the lIen continues to progress.

While some members have been with us since 1995, membership has doubled in recent years. the lIen grew to 160 companies in 2011 and now represents over 15% of the country’s total primary energy requirement.

the lIen demonstrates clearly the benefits of an energy efficiency network. the combination of many activities – networking, sharing experiences, discussing challenges and new opportunities, making contacts, promoting, disseminating, encouraging and influencing – saves energy in more ways than one: many years of research time are saved and, as membership grows, the benefits are amplified.

the outcome can be shown in precisely measurable results. long-term members improved energy performance by over 32% since 1995 and the network has improved energy performance by 18% since 2005. this accelerated pace in energy performance improvement since 2005 is due to the introduction of the energy management systems and supported through our energy Agreements programme.

the scale and pace of energy agreements members’ energy performance improvement is exemplary in global terms, and their work on new initiatives benefits the lIen overall. It is impressive to see how lIen members have reduced operating costs and increased cost-competiveness, while improving other business processes. experience in energy management systems is being continually built up, and capabilities are being developed that will ensure further improvement into the future.

meanwhile, we plan, in collaboration with the national standards Authority of Ireland, to develop a new Irish standard in 2013

concerning energy efficient design (eed) methodology. this follows the establishment of seAI’s eed methodology, developed by the energy Agreements programme.

In may 2012, we held the seAI 2nd International Conference on energy management systems, ‘Creating the Right environment for Iso 50001 to thrive’, at the mansion house in dublin. building on the first international conference in 2009 at farmleigh, dublin, this event provided a unique opportunity to hear international experts discuss policies and incentives to help businesses worldwide commit to, and benefit from, energy management systems. the conference was a resounding success.

It should be a source of great pride that the lIen has not only contributed strongly to national energy objectives but also established Ireland as a global leader in energy management.

We are very open to new members and anticipate that the lIen will grow to 200 members over the next few years. the network plays a crucial part in the achievement of our goals. I congratulate all those who have contributed to its success. however, the lIen does not rest on its laurels. year after year, it uncovers new savings opportunities – and I have no doubt it will continue to do so.

Chief Executive Officer, SEAI


Introduction

the large Industry energy network (lIen), established in 1995, is now well known as a unique, pragmatic and continually improving energy forum for Ireland’s leading industrial companies.

the network, which has grown rapidly over its 17 years, includes 160 of Ireland’s largest industrial and commercial companies. new members often come from the energy Agreements programme (eAp), launched in may 2006. the eAp focuses on adoption of the energy management standard Iso 50001 as the means for continuous and sustained improvements in energy efficiency.

members include companies from a wide range of sectors including industrial and commercial activities. members have the common goal of reducing energy, related costs and Co2 emissions. they know that energy management actions are cost-effective and reduce operating costs and improve competitiveness.

In 2011, the accumulated energy avoidance of long-term members, based on each company’s respective base year, was approx. 32%. lIen members are making strong contributions to the Co2 emission targets set out in the national energy efficiency Action plan.

Network development

membership is open to companies with an energy spend in excess of €1 million. In joining the lIen, companies commit to:

• develop a management programme for energy use.

• set and review energy targets.

lIen membeRshIp, development And benefIts


In 2011, the network welcomed 12 new members:

• CG power systems Ireland ltd

• ebay-paypal

• eps Group

• Glanbia Consumer foods ltd (ballitore)

• Glanbia Consumer foods ltd (drogheda)

• Glen dimplex

• Kepak

• msd Ireland (Carlow)

• p&s Civil Works

• Rosderra Irish meats (edenderry)

• Rosderra Irish meats (Roscrea)

• sanmina-sCI

the lIen accounts for over 15% of Ireland’s total primary energy requirement.

While support from industry peers contributes to in-house knowledge and expertise, seAI keeps expanding its support activities. A particularly successful example of this work is the energy Agreements programme (a subset of the lIen), which has built up a huge body of knowledge about a broad range of energy-saving opportunity and facilitates the replication of these through the lIen.

each year, seAI also organises workshops, seminars and site visits for lIen members. In this way, they learn from specialists, including energy experts, and also from fellow energy managers.


Network benefits for members

the lIen has developed into mature energy efficiency network. lIen members can benefitin many ways. the lIen’s accumulated energy expertise and knowledge base is a huge resource for both current and new members. the pooling of knowledge and experience saves an enormous amount of research time. members discover energy-saving opportunities and techniques at a faster rate and at a lower cost than if they were working individually. All this helps to ensure that any investments made will maximise returns. further, the publicising of the members’ achievements raises their reputation as environmentally responsible operators.

the transition to a more energy-efficient, low-carbon economy is one of the most important economic shifts of modern times. the volatile price of fossil fuels, rising demand for energy to support economic growth and pressure to reduce carbon emissions mean that energy use is crucial to a company’s cost structure and operating model.

energy efficiency can be seen as a huge, low-cost energy resource. by unlocking the value in energy savings, companies gain a strong cost advantage whether competing at home or globally. however, organisations will realise only a small proportion of their energy saving potential unless they take a systematic approach and set concrete goals for improvement. Companies are now more aware than ever that energy efficiency is crucial. Given the lIen’s success in facilitating it, up to 10 new members are expected to join the network in 2012.

A wide range of events and activities were organised in 2011, from annual events such as the energy show and seAI sustainable energy Awards to seminars and workshops covering key issues and the launch of new networks.

liaising with lIen members, seAI makes sure that its support activities reflect their current needs as well as the practical needs of industry. these customised events and activities are closely integrated with seAI’s wider energy programmes. Including workshops, site visits, seminars and conferences, they have the combined aim and effect of achieving further energy savings in industry.

the fact that many of the events are hosted by network members increases their impact.

Section 2 energy Agreement programme 23

????????

An oveRvIeW

the energy Agreements programme (eAp) is Ireland’s voluntary agreements programme for large energy users. It is aimed at those who wish to take a strong, strategic and systematic approach to energy management in order to reduce energy-related costs and emissions. the programme stimulates energy efficiency activities above and beyond business-as-usual.

As part of the eAp, organisations enter into an agreement that requires them to implement and maintain a certified Iso 50001 energy management system (enms) and undertake an average of one special Investigation per year.

special Investigations are feasibility studies that focus on significant energy uses and are integrated into the enms through the process of registering energy efficiency opportunities. special Investigations supplement the enms process and do a “deep dive” on specific technologies, equipment or processes.

As part of the eAp, seAI provides tailored supports comprising direct advice, invitation to participate in project initiatives, networking and some financial supports. the programme has two tiers of engagement through those committed to the eAp and those to the lIen only.

Programme Strategy and Supports for Members

seAI maintains and develops supports through the eAp on an annual basis for its members’. the programme strategy is to ensure that each member organisation meets the requirements of their agreement and further stimulated by the additional programme activities.

A commitment of seAI is to develop programme activities and supports that are designed to stimulate the development of members energy management programmes over and beyond business as usual.


these programme supports include:

Relationship management provided through Agreements support managers. the support managers provide;

• Advice, mentoring and assessments.

• specific support for implementation and operation of an enms.

• proactively work with members to maximise supports and energy performance through engaging with their members work programmes.

• proactively disseminates opportunities and the programme developmental work.

Special project initiatives: are planned each year to support members to undertake activities around significant energy users. these focus on specific technologies, new methodologies and specific industry sectors. project activities and investigations are documented in the form of reports, guidance notes and case studies so that the knowledge developed can be replicated and applied.

Networking activities: tailored workshops, networking events, seminars and conferences are a core part of the eAp. the schedule varies each year according to topical interest or programme needs. seAI works closely with members to ensure that support activities reflect the practical needs of industry.

Special Investigations: these go beyond routine energy efficiency assessments and focus on significant energy uses. seAI continually develops processes, methodologies, projects or sector-specific approaches to ensure continued effectiveness in uncovering new energy efficiency opportunities. successful actions and approaches are then analysed, standardised and disseminated to the lIen.


Special Initiatives

since the launch of the energy Agreements programme in 2006, the annual special initiatives have taken an approach of development through stages from piloting to standardisation, as shown below;

Figure 2.1: Development stages

the outputs of these special initiatives have resulted in the development of the body of Knowledge by the programme. this distils the knowledge developed to members using a series of project reports, case studies, guidance documents, fact sheets or otherwise. these documents are available on the seAI large Industry website, accessible through a searchable timeline covering the period 2007 to date.

PILOT

the programme body of knowledge has developed through work across four areas, namely

• technology focus

• methodology focus

• sector focus

• Grant schemes

It collates the outputs of the special initiatives that have so far covered the following areas:

• hvAC

• Compressed Air

• data Centres

• Refrigeration

• energy efficient design

• Alternative methodologies

• Commercial buildings

• food, beverage & dairy

• data Centres

2011/2012 Replication Initiatives

the eAp programme strategy of pilot, implement, replicate and standardise has identified a number of energy management tools, methodologies and resources that are now available for replication. the focus is on replicating knowledge through application of the following tools have been through a pilot and implementation stage.


Key Focus Area Replication/Refinement Opportunity

Application of the seAI energy efficient design methodology for new or current design projects.

the energy efficient design methodology provides a framework for investors to design, construct and commission projects so that they consume the least amount of energy during their subsequent operation. energy management should be addressed at the earliest possible stage, to realise the greatest energy-saving potential with the shortest payback and to comply with the requirements of energy management standards during subsequent operational phases. the methodology addresses common failures and processes that prevent projects from achieving their full potential in energy efficiency throughout their lifecycle.

operations optimisations using the energy efficient design methodology.

operational optimisation using the eed methodology applies the same methodology in a fully operational system or process. the operation optimisation review identifies opportunity for energy reduction by looking at the operation of the system from first principals, define the energy saving opportunities and then follow through in a structured manner to full implementation. Where the eed methodology is applied to projects in an operational state, a fresh approach to auditing is utilised in contrast to the traditional energy audit.

Application of operational Control spreadsheets for hvAC, compressed air, steam and refrigeration.

the hvAC special Working group developed a successful procedure for the on-going monitoring and effective operational control of hvAC systems.

the operational Control spreadsheet examines the operation of the equipment and focuses the attention of personnel to review and record the critical operating parameters of the hvAC systems.

this has yielded significant benefits across the sites that have implemented it.

An operational Control spreadsheet tool would greatly aid companies in identifying erroneous settings and opportunities in the following areas:

• Refrigeration systems.• steam Generation and distribution.• Compressed Air Generation and distribution.

development of value stream maps with energy paradigm as an element of the energy review process of Iso50001 (vsme).

A vsme is a visual representation of a production process.

It plots the sequence of processes used to produce products or services and tracks energy consumption through those processes.

using lean vsm, energy consumption can be tracked across the value stream.

An energy line on the vsm map provides identification of energy saving opportunities.

It is an additional resource for the energy Review, to understand the link between energy usage and operations/material transformation process.

It is a method to identify opportunities to reduce energy intensity through understanding energy usage sensitivity to operation process and norms.


Key Focus Area Replication/Refinement Opportunity

energy management maturity assessments per energy management maturity model in development by seAI.

An energy management maturity model (em3) has been developed to provide a roadmap for progressive energy management within large organisations.

It promotes the development of energy management as a strategic goal, complements and integrates with corporate social responsibility and the carbon reduction agenda.

Applicable for engagement at all levels of energy management, from those organisations just starting out, to those who have maintained certification for a number of years and are asking, “what’s next?”

the model is composed of a series of statements, intended to motivate analysis of existing practices and to promote discussions as to how the energy management system can be further developed.

operation and maintenance investigations per Commercial building o&m reference manual.

o&m improvements can yield savings of 5 to 25% of a building’s annual utility bill. simple paybacks are generally less than 2 years.

understanding why building systems are operated and maintained the way they are, where and what improvements are most beneficial and cost-effective, is the first step to obtaining energy-efficient building performance.

An o&m assessment provides a systematic look at all aspects of the current o&m practices including the management structure, policies, and user requirements that influence them.

Investigations as identified in the food and dairy sWG report using eed venn diagram approach for saving identification and categorisation.

the food & dairy sWG investigations undertook a consistent approach based on the Challenge and Analyse phase of the energy efficient design (eed) methodology.

the energy venn diagram illustrates the different categories that should be considered when seeking to implement the optimum energy-efficient solution.

the principle of the methodology of the venn diagram is to challenge and examine the various layers that comprise the overall energy usage.

Investigations as identified and reported by the data Centre sWG.

special investigations by data-centre management can drive energy efficiency initiatives to reduce energy consumption and running costs. examples of energy efficiency initiatives in data Centres include:

• free Cooling• evaporative Cooling• Air management• Airflow Research and understanding• metering• Increased Cold Air operating temperatures• lighting


Energy Efficiency Clusters

during 2011 clustered energy networks were formed from the data Centres and Commercial buildings special working groups. the purpose of these sector focused energy networks is to facilitate the further dissemination and application of the outputs from the previous working groups.

SEctIoN 3 CompAny pRofIles

Largo is already leading the way in terms of energy management, being the first company within the group to achieve ISO 50001 Certification.

Section 3 Company profiles 33

Established in 1983, Largo Foods is an Irish company and is the leading manufacturer and distributor of premium snack foods (crisps, snacks, peanuts and popcorn) in Ireland, supplying branded and own-label products to Ireland, the UK, continental Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East.

Largo Foods has production facilities in Ashbourne, Co. Meath, Gweedore, Co. Donegal and Barnsley, UK. It represents iconic snack-food brands including Tayto, Hunky Dory, King and Perri. It is now part of the Intersnack Group, a food producer with over 20 manufacturing sites throughout Europe.

Largo is already leading the way in energy management within the group, being the first company to achieve ISO 50001 certification. Certification took over 18 months and involved individuals from many departments. Senior management support is a fundamental requirement to achieving the ISO 50001 and the system needs to be a working one, and not just a ‘tick the box’ exercise.

Through ISO 50001, Largo Foods has established a mechanism for managing its energy consumption. This structure is helping to reduce energy costs across the business, which will help to keep it competitive within its market. Knowledge developed within Largo Foods is being shared across the Intersnack group of companies, in which key benchmarking exercises take place within their European Energy Management Team.

Largo Foods first started to focus on energy back in 2007, when Paul Fisher, Largo’s energy champion, attended the then SEAI EnergyMap Programme. Since then, and still using the techniques and templates acquired in the training programme, Largo has implemented sustainable energy-saving initiatives in procurement and consumption. Largo’s significant energy users include cooking oil burners and snack dryers, a large steam boiler and many electrical motors on extruders and general production plant.

2011 Cooker energy optimisation project

2011 Iso 50001 certification

2012 Kettle process energy optimisation

2012 planned installation of Chp and other energy-efficient retrofits


these projects have enabled largo foods to reduce its overall energy costs despite rising energy prices.

Key to largo’s continual focus on energy has been the relationship with seAI. this comes in the form of annual reminders to submit data for the lIen report, while involvement in the energy Agreements programme has led to the benefits of accelerated certification by an independent body, as well as keeping the continual improvement commitment alive.

largo foods’ plans for the future include the following projects:

Co-Generation (Phase 1)

this project will involve the installation of a gas-fired Chp plant. the electricity from this unit will supply around 70% of the Ashbourne site’s usage, based on the other energy efficiency measures in this proposal being implemented. the heat for the Chp will be matched to the site’s needs and be used in four separate applications.

Selected Motor Control Upgrades Using VSDs

this will involve fitting vsds to six of largo foods’ large motor drives, including the thermal oil circulating pump, three off vacuum pumps, the cooker extract motor, and the cooking oil main circulation pump. Another selection of fixed-speed motors will have energy saving controllers fitted. this will reduce the electrical load in the production area, in and around largo foods’ main electrical significant energy users.

Lighting Upgrade

this project will involve replacing selected lighting at Ashbourne and Gweedore, in both the production and admin areas, upgrading magnetically ballasted t8 fittings to led technology where applicable. metal halide fittings throughout will be replaced with induction fittings. extra savings will be achieved on top of energy savings by the reduction in maintenance requirements for the new lighting.

BEMS and Control Functionality

this project involves installing a new bems with a functionality to programme the logic control of motors and lighting in the process, as well as the admin buildings. this will function like a building management system. Where feasible, the energy service devices will react automatically to the prevailing conditions in the environment and consume energy only when necessary (e.g. cool-air fans reacting to internal temp, daylight sensing, etc).

Transport Fuel Economy Project

largo currently has no monitoring of transport energy consumption. this project involves fitting vehicle tracking devices to a fleet of 70 vehicles which distributes its products. these devices will allow web tracking and analysis of fuel usage, route efficiency and driver performance.

Allergan Inc., headquartered in Irvine, California, is a global specialty pharmaceutical and medical device company that discovers, develops and commercialises innovative products for the ophthalmology, neurosciences, medical dermatology, medical aesthetics and other specialty markets.

Allergan Pharmaceuticals Ireland, a subsidiary of Allergan Inc., is based in Westport, Co. Mayo. It’s the corporation’s largest operations facility with the greatest concentration of employees in one location outside the US headquarters.

Established in 1977, the County Mayo facility has grown to over 600,000 sq ft on a 58-acre campus. It includes state-of-the-art laboratories and is responsible for manufacturing a broad range of the company’s products, including Botox, Ozurdex and other ophthalmic products.

In January 2012, Allergan announced a $350 million investment at the Westport site creating an additional 200 jobs and involving the construction of a new state-of-the-art Biologics facility which will happen over the next five years.

The Utility targets at Allergan Pharmaceuticals Ireland include a 50% reduction in energy consumption, water consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions by 2020 from a baseline year of 2000. To realise these goals, the Westport site has adopted an integrated energy management system in implementing aggressive energy reduction initiatives. Energy savings projects implemented at Westport over recent years have won Corporate Excellence Awards.

The utility targets at Allergan Pharmaceuticals Ireland include a 50% reduction in energy consumption, water consumption and greenhouse-gas emissions by 2020 from a baseline year of 2000.


Role of Energy Team

natural gas and electricity usage are split approximately 50:50 at the site. directly measured energy data quantifying energy usage is reviewed on a daily basis by the site energy team at an energy review KpI meeting. this enables energy data for the previous 24 hours to be tracked and monitored, and if necessary, any anomalies or issues are dealt with there and then.

the energy team consists of cross functional members from utilities, facilities, technical services, lean six sigma, engineering, operations and the environment health and safety departments. the diversity of this group is key to its success as it permeates the organisation’s different functions. the site’s overall performance against agreed metrics is reviewed at the monthly energy team meeting.

the work of the energy team is evident in the fact that, between 2007 and 2011, as production increased by 25%, the Westport plant reduced its energy consumption by 52% and its water consumption by 38%.

Systematic Approach

It was recognised early on that a systematic approach to energy efficiency was needed. It was decided to integrate the energy management system with other systems on site – the environmental management system, the quality management system and the lean six sigma programme.

the continuous improvement approach of the energy system offered the ideal model to tackle energy issues, as it engages employees at all levels of the organisation.

Energy Awareness and Communication

It was important that all site employees are actively engaged in the energy management process. A targeted approach was used in training of employees, whereby the level of training depended on the individual’s potential impact on energy usage. At a minimum, all Allergan employees are aware of the energy policy and that there is an energy management system in place, while specific technical training was given to management, maintenance technicians, engineers, service contractors, etc.

plasma screens around the plant display monthly communications about energy performance, while posters with energy conservation messages are posted on noticeboards. employees are encouraged to suggest ‘Good Ideas’ for energy reduction through the site’s intranet portal.


Energy Review and SEUs

the site’s significant energy users (seus) were defined and include the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems, the chiller system and the air compressor system.

the principles of lean six sigma were applied to the energy review. A project prioritisation matrix and pareto analysis chart were developed to identify projects that would deliver the greatest benefits. energy performance indicators were developed so as to assess energy efficiency and identify scope for improvement.

While implementing the energy management system it was decided that data collected should be trended and analysed using the statistical and process management software package minitab. this allows for better tracking along with data analysis and understanding of energy usage at the site.

Projects Implemented

since 2008, Allergan Westport has implemented many energy conservation projects, including:

• Conversion of 3 large boilers from operating on fuel oil to natural gas;

• Installation of a boiler flue gas economiser on boiler 3;

• Installation of over 135 energy-efficient steam traps on the plant steam system;

• Comprehensive leak check of water and air distribution network and system efficiency modifications; and the

• Installation of vsd (variable speed drive) on the chiller system, hvAC and other motors.


boiler conversion: Allergan decided to convert the three burners on the boilers to dual-fuel (natural gas/fuel oil) to avail of:

• Cheaper fuel (40% more cost-effective), with a return on the capital investment of approximately six months;

• Cleaner burning – a 30% reduction in carbon emissions;

• potential for installing a Chp plant, with a further energy reduction opportunity; and the

• opportunity to install a flue gas economiser on the boiler stack from boiler 3.

the fuel cost savings arising from this project amounted to approximately €750,000 annually.

boiler flue gas economiser: After a technical feasibility assessment, a decision was taken in 2010 to install an economiser on the lead boiler. the heat recovered from the flue gas goes to preheat the boiler feed water. total annual cost saving amounts to €40,000 per annum, with a payback period of 1.9 years.

efficient steam traps: A review determined that many of the originally installed steam traps were impaired, resulting in steam loss to the drain. In late 2009, 135 steam traps were installed. the steam and gas usage was monitored over three months. the results indicated that the plant steam system was up to 20% more efficient as a result. final savings of €110k per annum, equivalent to 1,000 tonnes of Co2 savings, were realised.

Water reduction: to reduce consumption of water and improve system efficiency, the site’s ring main was pressure-tested for leaks and leaks identified were repaired. Gemba walks were undertaken to find waste and improvement opportunities in the water system. finally,

Allergan Energy Team


a CdI (continuous deionization) upgrade led to reduced intake and wastewater emission, while less water was used for process filter flushes on the system.

other improvements include: cleanroom Ahu setback, warehouse temperature control, reverse osmosis water recycling on the purification waste systems, shutdown energy control measures and long-weekend energy management setbacks on Ahus and switch-offs of non-essential equipment, and plant steam generation improvement projects.

Development of Energy Management System

Allergan attributes much of its success in the area of energy optimization to joining seAI’s energy Agreements programme and as a result implementing a more effective energy management system at the site. Work evolved from a series of individual improvements to a portfolio of targeted lean six sigma Green belt improvement projects. With the assistance and encouragement from seAI, this portfolio developed into a full-blown energy management system and in 2010 Allergan was certified to en 16001 and in 2011 to Iso 50001.

overall, these energy improvements have resulted in a large reduction in energy consumption, reduced energy costs to the business and reduced the plant’s Co2

emissions.


Thermo King, a brand of Ingersoll Rand, was founded in 1938 and leads the world in manufacturing and innovating transport temperature control systems for a variety of mobile applications, including trailers, truck bodies, buses, shipboard containers and rail cars.

Thermo King set up the Galway plant in 1976 to manufacture self-powered temperature control units for Truck bodies and Trailers, the plant was then acquired by Ingersoll Rand in 1997. The Galway plant employs approx. 450 people and has an annual turnover in excess of €400 million. Galway has operational responsibility for the other European functions such as customer service, finance and marketing. Its streamlined operation has been hailed as one of the success stories of Irish manufacturing for over three decades.

Thermo King signed up to SEAI’s Large Industry Energy Network in 2005. During this period Thermo King has reported annually on energy performance and their improvements in energy efficiency. In the past few years Thermo King has further increased the focus on energy efficiency and energy management. This has led to Thermo King transitioning to SEAI’s Energy Agreements Programme and becoming the first Ingersoll Rand Climate Solutions company in the world to be certified to ISO 50001 – The International Energy Management standard.

Energy Projects

R&D and facilities account for over 40% of the site’s overall energy consumption; therefore these have been areas that the organisation has focused on.

Thermal Optimization

the latest energy saving project involves a significant investment, with grant support provided by the seAI. the project includes the installation of heat exchangers to various exhaust stacks throughout the R&d and production areas. the heat recovered will be used to heat process water in our pre-treatment plants. new high efficiency boilers are also being installed to heat the factory floor. We expect this project to deliver a decrease of up to 40% in our fuel usage in the areas outlined.

Compressed Air Reduction

Compressed air is supplied to the site by 2 Ingersoll Rand variable speed compressors. the Compressors vary their speed to meet the plants requirements thus ensuring that no excess energy is used. A leak detection program, a controlled switch on/ shut down procedure as well as nightly checks from the security team has led to 13% year on year reduction in compressed air usage throughout the site.

Fan Usage Reduction

A very simple but effective energy saving within the R&d facility has been optimizing the fan speeds and run times used in the trailer bay test area. fans are used in the trailer bay area of the R&d facility to maintain a suitable temperature for the testing of units. by reducing the ‘soaking time’ and the fan speed, 14,000 kWh annually will be saved. the thermal optimisation project outlined above will provide heat for this area thus minimising the use of oil fired burners in 2013.

Lighting Usage Reduction

In december 2011, factory floor lighting was significantly upgraded by replacing existing 220W filament bulbs with 150W induction lights. from january 1st to november 30th in 2012 there has been a reduction of 13% in lighting usage compared to the same period in 2011. these savings can be attributed to lower wattage fittings and individual lux and pIR sensors that ensure that lights are only on when required.

By 2015, Diageo plans to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from its production sites by 50%, against a 2007 baseline.


dIAGeo AChIeves GReAt Results WIth eed

Diageo is one of Ireland’s leading companies, with a long and proud tradition of commercial success. It transforms premium local ingredients into some of Ireland’s most world-renowned brands, including Guinness, Baileys and Bushmills. In Ireland, Diageo employs more than 1,500 people directly and supports 19,000 jobs indirectly. It is the single largest purchaser of barley in Ireland, accounting for 13% of the national crop and using 300 tonnes of barley a day to make Guinness alone.

Around 90% of what Diageo produces in Ireland is exported, generating a total of over €1 billion in exports. At St James’s Gate in Dublin, 2.7 million pints of Guinness are produced every day, of which 70% is exported to over 130 countries around the world.

Challenging Targets Set

Sustainability is at the heart of Diageo’s business operations and is key to its future success. Diageo is dedicated to improving its environmental sustainability for its business and brands – from grain to glass. To this end, Diageo has set challenging environmental goals and has made significant progress against key metrics including carbon, water, waste and packaging. Working in partnership with stakeholders, Diageo will continue to make improvements and work towards achieving its goal of becoming a truly sustainable business.

By 2015, Diageo plans to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from its production sites by 50%, against a 2007 baseline. Since 2007, it has reduced absolute levels of GHG emissions by 22%, having invested in carbon-reducing technologies across the business.

diageo is investing in the redevelopment of the site at st james’s Gate. backed by €153 million capital investment, this development is fundamental to delivering the competitiveness necessary for the long-term sustainability of diageo’s brewing in Ireland. on completion of this project, st james’s Gate will be one of the most modern and energy-efficient breweries in the world. It will combine over 250 years of brewing experience with the latest brewing technology.

EED in St James’s Gate Redevelopment

energy efficient design (eed) helps a company to design, construct and manage projects to achieve minimum energy consumption. It also addresses operational-phase energy management. the methodology was initially devised by the sustainable energy Authority of Ireland (seAI) and has been adopted and customised by diageo in anticipation of the methodology becoming an Irish standard next year.

to achieve diageo’s stretching environmental targets, the project team implemented eed across all work packages, including utilities, the brewing process and building services.

the eed process runs in parallel with a typical project lifecycle and does not affect project schedules. It is important that, early on in the project, both the project team and vendors become engaged with the process. the eed activities should, however, be driven predominantly by the appointed eed programme owner and technical expert.

Awards 2012


the key eed activities are:

• baselining energy usage across current operations.

• Identifying the major energy users and challenging the energy requirements of each energy and water consuming process.

• developing a register of quantified energy saving opportunities.

• Carrying out a meter mapping exercise across all utilities.

• ensuring the validation and verification of implemented ideas.

Benefits of EED

eed has achieved the following results for st james’s Gate:

1. 21.4 mj/hl improvement on thermal requirements (25% reduction on baseline).

2. 5.3 mj/hl improvement on electrical requirements (16% reduction).

3. 0.89 hl/hl improvement on water requirements (22% reduction).

Innovations that helped to achieve these reductions include:

• Installation of the equitherm energy recovery system in the new brewhouse, which reduces the requirement for steam heating in the main brewing process to the wort boiling operation only, maximises the thermal energy recovered and minimises vapour losses from the brewhouse to atmosphere.

• Installation of vsds on 80% of all process drives.

• Installation of a hybrid refrigeration system aiming to use 0oC instead of -4oC glycol.

• use of ‘virtual’ meters throughout the brewing process; e.g. using existing instrumentation without the additional cost associated with metering hardware and installation – this results in increased sub-metering with minimal investment.

overall, the implementation of eed has been a resounding success for diageo. It plans to roll out the process across its global brewing network, with the experience and expertise being driven from Ireland.

Kerry Group transitioned to SEAI’s Energy Agreements Programme in 2009 and was the first Kerry Group site in the world to be certified to ISO 50001.


The Kerry Group, with manufacturing facilities in 23 countries, supplies more than 15,000 food, ingredients and flavour products to customers in over 140 countries worldwide. Its current annualised sales total €4.5 billion.

Kerry Ingredients and Flavours, Listowel (KI&F) is the original site from which the Kerry Group developed. Built in 1972, it is a large milk-processing facility which produces a range of dried ingredients, spreads, butters and cheese.

Kerry Ingredients and Flavours (KI&F) signed up to the LIEN in 2005 and has since reported annually on energy performance. In the past few years it has increased its focus on energy efficiency and energy management. It transitioned to SEAI’s Energy Agreements Programme in 2009 and was the first Kerry Group site in the world to be certified to ISO 50001.

Energy Efficiency Projects

KI&F has addressed a number of areas in order to reduce powder drying and facilities energy consumption over the years, including:

• Heat recovery projects.

• Compressed-air reduction.

• Process steam reduction and improved drying efficiencies.

• Improvement in CIP processes and durations.

A major renewable energy project was carried out in 2011: the installation of an Aerobic Digester Biogas CHP (combined heat and power) plant.

Project to End Biogas Wastage

for many years KI&f was aware of the biogas being produced in the anaerobic digester that was being flared off wastefully into the atmosphere. the levels of biogas being burnt at the flare were measured and analysed throughout 2009 and 2010.

It was found that a significant portion of biogas was being generated with a methane content of 70-80%. It became clear that a 600 kW engine would be best for transforming this biogas into useful electrical and thermal energy, to be consumed within the manufacturing process.

the project began in 2011 with the supply and installation of a Chp system. A number of civil and mechanical works had to take place including the installation of a biogas distribution line to the Chp and gas storage bag, and of an 800 kvA step-up transformer.

the biogas consumed in the engine/generator produces an average of 600 kWe of electrical energy hourly and 612 kWth thermal energy hourly; this is used to preheat boiler feed water. the overall efficiency of the Chp unit is 86%. edina carries out remote monitoring via broadband.

Through this commitment, employees engage in a more collaborative way with the other aspects of the standard, creating an energy-conscious culture in the organisation.


Connacht Gold Dairy Ingredients at its plant in Ballaghaderreen, Co. Roscommon has always been energy-conscious as its energy spend on-site is significant. In 2011, before the implementation of ISO 50001, energy consumption was recorded and monitored at the overall site level. To tackle energy consumption strategically, specific areas or significant energy use needed to be identified.

The site implemented an EnMS, which has created a structure for analysing and controlling energy throughout the site. The key element in the successful implementation of the system and realisation of savings is considered to be the commitment of top management to the continuation and success of the programme. Without this commitment, as well as that of all people on-site, the impressive energy savings obtained by Connacht Gold would not have been possible.

Through this commitment, employees engage in a more collaborative way with the other aspects of the standard, creating an energy-conscious culture in the organisation. The building blocks of this energy-conscious mind-set are:

• The generation and site-wide communication of the company’s energy policy.

• The setting of specific energy targets.

• The creation of energy awareness through training in skills that affect energy on-site.

• Daily operational reporting on the energy performance of the significant energy users (SEUs) throughout the facility.

through the implementation of the energy management system and use of continuous improvement tools, the operational Control aspect of Iso 50001 has been the most beneficial to the organisation. this is realised in the low-cost savings achieved through improving the performance of the significant energy uses (seu’s). the enms enabled easy identification of and thus project focus on the seus.

two key steps were engaging people at all levels in the organisation and developing performance indicators for all seus. the opportunities for improvement were the careful operation and management of the seus through adhering to operational control, and lean improvement methodologies. the performance improvements can be clearly seen in the baseline analysis (see figure below) for electricity, which compares 2011 and 2012 energy performance. In summary the plant processed 18% more milk in 2012, and achieved a 5% efficiency improvement on the thermal system, an 18% efficiency improvement in electricity and a 40% improvement in water use.

Connacht Gold dairy Ingredients found that the implementation of Iso 50001 combined with use of continuous improvement tools has achieved substantial efficiency improvements on the site. In today’s economic climate it is essential to strive for continual improvement in order to reduce operational costs and secure the future of the business. Key to this security is the strategic management of energy costs. the initial cost of implementing the enms was supported by seAI. the cost of implementation amounted to less than 5% of the savings achieved in the first year of operating the system.

The Arklow facility is making continuous efforts to reduce the energy impact of its operations and improve the site’s energy performance.


The Servier Group is a leading French pharmaceutical company, employing 20,000 staff across 140 countries. Servier Ireland Industries, a secondary pharmaceutical manufacturing facility established in Arklow, Co. Wicklow in 1989, employs over 370 people. The facility serves a global market over 5 continents with products for treating cardio‐vascular disease, depression and diabetes.

Servier Ireland has been an active LIEN member since 2009. As part of the Group commitment to sustainable development, the Arklow facility is making continuous efforts to reduce the energy impact of its operations in a view to reduce its carbon footprint along with site’s performance, among which energy performance is a key element. The site is an active participant in the SEAI Heating Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) Special Working Group. In June 2012 the Arklow facility became the first site within the Group to achieve ISO 50 001 certification.

Since joining the LIEN, the facility has implemented a number of energy efficiency projects supported by SEAI, including an Air Change Reduction Initiative and Natural Gas Consumption Optimisation Project.

Air Change Reduction Initiative

With the support of SEAI in the form of funding from Supports for Exemplar Energy Efficiency Projects (SEEEP) and technical support from the HVAC SWG, the Air Change Reduction Initiative was undertaken on six of the air-handling units (AHUs) in the new UPA2 High containment Process Building. Many particulate concentration tests were then carried out to ensure compliance with ISO 14644 (concerning air cleanliness) was maintained. The highest concentration levels recorded were significantly lower than the maximum permissible level for an ISO Class 8 facility.

the project resulted in the electrical energy consumption of the six Ahus being reduced by 76%. this reduction, through the tempering of the air passing through the units, represents a substantial energy saving. the return on investment for the project was less than three months. Additional benefits were realised with the reduced airflows, as extra capacity is now available in the Ahus for future room fit-outs, meaning future saving in capital investment.

Natural Gas Consumption Optimisation Project

servier Ireland has expanded over the past decade on line with the Group strategy and development of new products and markets. the facility has a series of production and support buildings that interconnect via pedestrian walkways and exterior pathways. the site expansion involved constructing two self-contained utilities. since each building operates in isolation, the steam and lphW boilers in both buildings were found not being as efficient as initially planned, for the required steaming rates – hence suffering elevated standing losses and operating to low firing efficiencies. this situation also inhibited further hvAC energy reduction programmes as further reductions in thermal loads would only exacerbate the low efficiencies arising from the sizing of boilers.

the natural Gas Consumption optimisation project, supported by a 2011 seAI better energy Workplace grant, involved:

• Cross-connecting the two steam and condensate headers between process buildings upA1 and upA2.

• Installing an lphW steam plate heat exchanger in the upA1 plant room for sustaining the building’s hvAC thermal load profile.

• taking offline two lphW boilers and the one-tonne/hour steam boiler in the upA1 boiler house.

• Installing a pressure-reducing station in the upA 1 plantroom for regulating the steam header pressure relative to building occupancy – steam header pressure reductions will be carried out during non-manufacturing hours to curb distribution losses.

As per the seAI better energy Workplace grant requirements, a project measurement and verification plan was implemented; the International performance measurement and verification protocol (Ipmvp) methodology C was used. this m&v plan has verified that annual thermal energy savings of 12% have been realised to date. the project payback period is expected to be four years.


Astellas Ireland Co Ltd (Kerry Plant) is a global pharmaceutical company headquartered in Japan. The Kerry plant serves the worldwide market as the production base for the formulation and packaging of Prograf and Advagraf, breakthrough drugs for treating organ rejection in transplant surgery.

In 2007 Astellas signed up to SEAI’s Energy Agreements Programme. In line with this the site implemented and was certified to IS 393, the Irish Energy Standard, followed by EN 16001, the European standard. In November 2011 Astellas was one of the first companies in Ireland to be certified to ISO 50001, the International Standard.

The Energy Management framework compelled Astellas to assess alternative energy sources. Energy prices (in particular, of electricity and oil) led Astellas towards renewable technologies, which will ensure sustainability long into the future.

Energy prices (in particular, of electricity and oil) led Astellas towards renewable technologies, which will ensure sustainability long into the future.


Renewable Energy Projects 2011

Astellas began two renewable energy projects in 2009 with construction starting in 2011. one involved installing an 800 kW enercon wind turbine, which supplies 20% of the site’s electrical requirement and reduces Co2 emissions by 1,000 tonnes per year. A key issue was getting buy-in from the local community. the Astellas site is located beside the town of Killorglin on the Ring of Kerry. Astellas met with all concerned locals and explained how the environmental benefits far outweigh any concerns. the turbine is monitored 24/7 by enercon in Germany, with a local service team based in tralee. the turbine operates on average at 27% of capacity, which results in annual savings of around €200,000. the project payback period is about six years.

the second project involved the installation of a Weiss woodchip boiler system. Astellas installed this 1.8 mW biomass boiler to meet the demand for steam at the Killorglin facility. the woodchip is fed to the boiler via an overhead crane that weighs the amount of woodchip delivered. the boiler consumes on average 10 tonnes of woodchip per day. the project offsets fossil fuel, providing Astellas with substantial energy savings and a reduction in Co2 emissions of 2,000 tonnes per year. this project provides annual savings of around €300,000. the project payback period is, as with the turbine, approximately six years.

SEctIoN 4 Results And tARGets


the following table summarises the overall energy performance of lIen members in 2011:

Table 4.1: LIEN Member’s Energy Performance – 2011

2011 Overall Energy Performance

lIen total primary energy Requirement 2011 24,500 GWh

energy Gains (loss) due to energy performance (123) GWh

national total primary energy Requirement (tpeR) 2011

161,296 GWh

lIen as percentage of national tpeR 15%

total Co2 emissions 2011 5,559,020 tonnes

Co2 Avoided due to energy performance Gains (27,795) tonnes

the reported energy performance loss of approximately 0.5% for the lIen as a whole in 2011 is somewhat misleading. on a member-by-member basis, on average, each company reported an energy performance gain of around 1.3%. this figure is almost identical to the average energy performance gain reported by each individual member. there is a small number of very large energy consumers in the lIen, and relatively large changes in these companies’ energy performance can influence overall performance to a large extent. In 2011, one very large energy consumer reported a big drop in output, and thus energy performance, which strongly affected the lIen’s overall energy performance. this case may be treated as an exception so as to better represent the lIen’s overall performance. If this company’s data is omitted, the lIen as a whole can report an energy performance gain of around 1.3% (310 GWh).

this 0.5% loss in performance equates to 123 GWh of additional primary energy consumption. however, based on the specific energy-saving projects reported by lIen members, it is estimated that energy savings of 575 GWh could have been realised in 2011 through the implementation of these projects. that is to say, if the energy saving projects had not been implemented, the losses in energy performance would have been even larger.

Results summARy

Section 4 Results and targets 67

1.3% eneRGy peRfoRmAnCe GAIn

on average over the last five years, the lIen has achieved year-on-year energy performance improvements of around 3%. since the inception of the lIen in 1995, the founding member companies have achieved, on average, energy savings of approximately 32%.

In comparison to 2010, in 2011 there was a drop in national tpeR of around 6.5%. there was also a drop in the tpeR of the lIen as a whole of about 2%. however, when the data is analysed on a member-by-member basis, on average, each company recorded a 1% increase in energy consumption. this apparent discrepancy can be explained again by the make-up of the lIen membership; a small number of the larger members reported a relatively large drop in energy consumption in comparison to 2010.

the energy requirement of the lIen accounts for over 15% of national tpeR. lIen members consist predominantly of large industrial energy users, but also include non-manufacturing companies that operate outside the ‘industrial’ sector.

those companies in the lIen which can be classified as being in the ‘industrial sector’ account for around 56% of the national industry primary energy requirement. this, however, omits the energy consumed by those members not classified as being in the ‘industry sector’.

Energy Performance

the change in energy performance of the lIen as a whole presented in this report accounts for all the influencing factors that either improve or erode energy performance. the methodology used is a top-down calculation based on the change in energy intensity with respect to the previous year or a baseline year.

to quantify the energy savings attributable to measures aimed specifically at improving energy performance and reducing energy spend, data on specific energy-saving projects was also collected in the lIen questionnaire. for 2011, 52 companies reported specific energy-saving projects for which the savings were quantified. In total, these projects saved a reported 200 GWh of primary energy. It should be noted that the lIen questionnaire facilitates the reporting of only five specific energy-saving projects. therefore, the projects reported do not represent a complete list of all energy-saving measures implemented by the companies.


however, if it is assumed that the data provided by the 52 companies on specific energy savings is representative of the energy-saving projects undertaken by all members, then an estimated energy saving of around 585 GWh could have been achieved by the lIen as a whole. this is similar to the energy savings calculated for 2010.

Energy Agreements v LIEN Only

the energy Agreements programme (eAp) members are typically larger energy consumers than the lIen-only members. In 2011, the 72 eAp members accounted for 47% of lIen membership and almost 75% of the energy consumption. thus their performance influences greatly the performance of the lIen as a whole. eAp members are committed to the implementation and operation of energy management systems (Iso 50001), which is considered a more effective means of finding, implementing and maintaining energy savings than pursuing an energy management programme, as is the case with the lIen-only members. eAp members also receive more support than lIen-only members. As Iso 50001 is central to the eAp, eAp members’ energy performance may be expected to be better than that of the lIen-only members. A comparison between those companies which reported in 2005 and 2011 shows that the eAp members, as a group, achieved energy performance gains of about 20% and the lIen-only group achieved gains of around 14%.

Historical Performance of the LIEN

the chart below illustrates the historical performance of the lIen over the 17-year period from 1995 to 2011. It comprises four datasets:

1. year-on-year energy performance change (illustrated by bar series).

2. energy performance of lIen members – 1995 baseline.



In the case of year-on-year performance, only those companies that reported in successive years are accounted for. for the remaining plots which illustrate the energy performance of the lIen members relative to a base year, again only those companies that reported in the base year and in the subsequent years are taken into account. this data is not affected by new companies joining the network as the calculations only take into account those companies that reported in 1995, 2000 and 2005.


the following observations can be made on the chart data:

• the members who joined in 1995 have achieved an improvement in energy performance of 32%, in comparison to 1995. there was a notable decrease in 2009 resulting from reductions in output in that year. since 2009, the energy performance of this cohort of companies has remained relatively static.

• the group of members who reported in 2000 and 2011 achieved savings in excess of 18% over that period, when 2000 is taken as the baseline year. this cohort, which includes some of the companies that also reported in 1995, again reported a drop in output and thus energy performance in 2009. however, since then, this group has almost recovered to 2009 energy performance levels.

• the group of members who reported in 2005 and 2011 achieved savings of almost 18% over that period, when 2005 is taken as the baseline year. the group did not record any reduction in energy performance in 2009, unlike the other two groups, and even though the rate of increase has been relatively modest, it has steadily improved.

• the lIen group with 2005 as baseline year represents an important dataset. the eAp was launched in 2006 following the publication of the Irish energy management standard in 2005. during 2005–2010, many companies in this group would have transitioned from lIen-only to energy Agreements.

Highlights from 2011

the following are the highlights from the analysis of the lIen data:

• An estimated 585 GWh of energy savings were achieved through the implementation of specific energy-saving measures by lIen members.

• the lIen network as a whole recorded a loss in energy performance of 0.5%; however, when the data from a single large energy user which had a reduced energy performance is excluded, there was an average energy performance improvement within the network of 1.3%.

• With the exception of the electronics sector, the level of output increased across all sectors in 2011. this builds on the increase in output recorded in 2010 following the declines of 2009.

• the majority of sectors within the network have over the last two to three years recorded increased output levels; this coupled with improved energy performance levels has resulted in a significant and consistent reduction in the total primary energy Requirement (tpeR).

• A trend emerging from the categorisation of energy saving opportunities and projects highlights an increase in capital investment within the network.

• energy management systems continue to be the most significant driver for actions undertaken.

• the lIen grew to 160 companies in 2011 and now represents over 15% of national tpeR.

the following charts graphically summarise lIen energy performance in 2011.


Summary of LIEN Data Analysis

Attribute Performance

Membership

Commentary

the number of members grew modestly in 2011. food/drink and pharmaChem continued to be the two largest sectors in the lIen. the other sector has grown steadily and is made up of a mix of retail, technology and services industries, as well as some more traditional ‘heavy industries’, such as cement manufacture and refining. the lIen programme now has 152 members. A membership increase to over 160 is expected for 2012.


Response Rate

Commentary

there was a below-average response rate for 2011 (76% energy Agreements, 79% lIen-only). this follows a particularly strong response rate for 2010 when impressive energy performance gains were recorded.

Commentary

It can be seen that in the majority of sectors, in the majority of years, energy performance gains have been achieved. on average over the last five years, each sector has seen a gain of between 2% and 6%.In 2009, the ICt sector was a notable exception. the magnitude of the loss in performance was such that it impacted on the lIen as a whole and resulted in an overall loss in energy performance in 2009. similarly in 2011, given the relative size of the other sector, the reduction in energy performance recorded by this sector has resulted in a loss of energy performance for the lIen as a whole.

Commentary

In most sectors, in most years, there has been a reduction in each sector’s energy requirement. notable exceptions are:

• The Healthcare sector has recorded more years of increases than decreases, and on average over the last five years has recorded an increase of around 3% in TPER.

• The Other and Food/Drink sectors recorded increases in 2010 and 2011.for companies in the other sector, a large decline in 2009 was caused primarily by a small number of very large energy consumers reporting reduced output, and thus energy requirement. this greatly affected the energy requirement of the sector and the lIen as a whole.

Driver of Energy Saving Projects

Commentary

energy management systems and programmes were again identified as the primary driver for the implementation of energy savings projects. this is very similar to the findings from recent years.

Categorisation of Energy Saving Projects (kWh)


Project Categorisation

Commentary

project activity is categorised using the energy venn diagram. the largest reported category was equipment, which accounted for 43% of reported energy savings. this is an interesting finding as the average reported payback for equipment-related projects was 2.5 years –,on average, the longest payback period for any of the project categories. on average, housekeeping has the shortest payback, followed by energy service.

Commentary

In 2011, there was a marked increase in the magnitude of the energy savings reported under the heading of equipment and operations & maintenance. there was a decrease in energy service projects. this marked change will be investigated, by examining the energy savings achieved by the implementation of special Investigations.

Methodology for LIEN energy performance calculation

energy performance indicators (epIs) are used to demonstrate the energy performance of each lIen member. the epI is a normalised number which is set to 100 in the year of joining (baseline year). the epI reflects the difference in energy intensity between the current year and the baseline year. An epI of less than 100 shows an improvement in energy intensity; an epI of greater than 100 shows an increase.

the year-on-year epI chart has been prepared for each member (shown later in this report). the chart shows the epI trend since the company joined the lIen and also the target epI set for the next year. It also includes some commentary on the factors that influenced the epI in the current year.

the year-to-year change in energy performance for the lIen as a whole is reported using principles of the paasche method. the change is calculated for each member by subtracting the actual energy consumed in the reporting year from the energy that would have been consumed to produce the same output if the previous year’s energy intensity had remained unchanged. the summation of the changes in members’ energy performance gives the overall year-on-year energy saving, or loss, for the lIen as a whole.

Energy Service Process Change Equipment Control Operations & Maintenance


to calculate the cumulative energy savings achieved by the lIen as a whole since its inception, a similar methodology is used. the change in energy intensity is calculated for each member by subtracting the actual energy consumed in the reporting year from the energy that would have been consumed to produce the same output if each company’s baseline-year energy intensity had remained unchanged. Again, the summation of these changes gives the overall energy saving, or loss, for the lIen as a whole.

Calculating the energy performance of a company and the lIen as a whole means that all the factors which influence a member’s energy performance are captured, and not only specific energy-saving projects. for example, fluctuations in the level of output, changes in quality control, improvements in productivity and all operational conditions will influence overall energy demand and, thus, energy performance. While the lIen programme is focused on encouraging the implementation of energy-saving projects and special investigations of potential energy-saving projects, it recognises that improving or controlling energy performance through operational control and management of production-related variables can contribute substantially. these activities are within the scope of the Iso 50001 process, which is central to the energy Agreements programme

however, the calculation methodology does not provide transparency on the root causes of changes in the epI and on the drivers for the energy savings. therefore, data on specific energy-saving measures is also collected via the annual lIen questionnaire. this provides a bottom-up means of calculating the energy savings achieved by lIen and eAp members as a result of specific energy-saving measures.
