Energy efficiency pays off
Cost-effective implementation of the Large-scale Consumers Article by Buser Oberflächentechnik AG
In 2015, the canton of Bern introduced legislation governing large-scale consumers [Grossverbraucherartikel]. In order to identify the economic measures for the required optimization of consumption, Buser Oberflächentechnik AG worked together with Endress+Hauser to develop a draft for a cantonal target agreement based on the relevant regulations. As a result, the energy savings potential proved to be considerable.

The challenge
The introduction of the legislation governing large-scale consumers obliges production sites with annual heating requirements of more than five gigawatt hours or electricity consumption of more than 500,000 kilowatt hours to take consumption-optimizing measures. Due to its electricity consumption, Oberflächentechnik AG was also counted as a large-scale consumer.
Solution provides by Endress+Hauser
For reasons concerning resources, Buser Oberflächentechnik AG decided to develop the list of measures for optimizing consumption together with a professional external partner company. After a selection process, a decision was made in favor of Endress+Hauser (Switzerland) AG.
Firstly, all the raw data on energy consumption and the main energy consumers were recorded and documented during a plant inspection. Economic measures were then proposed and verified on the basis of this data.
