Head of EnEffCo® Research & Development, ÖKOTEC Energiemanagement GmbH
The Challenge
Bayer’s Berlin plant (Pharmaceuticals Division) was looking for a software solution to unlock the efficiency potential of its laboratory ventilation systems.
Benefits
- Transparency of energy consumption: For each AHU, the humidification components, heat recovery, heating and cooling coils are checked using energy consumption monitoring and analysis
- Annual savings of approx. 18 % of energy costs and approx. 27 % CO₂
Solution and Implementation
- The Berlin technical team of Bayer AG (Pharmaceuticals Division) worked with ÖKOTEC to continuously evaluate four AHUs of the laboratory building S149 to control set points depending on efficiency criteria
- Measurements of steam usage, cooling water, heating water and electric power were set up along with a control interface
- The parameters of the AHUs are adjusted to operate efficiently during air conditioning, thus creating minimal energy costs and lower CO2 emissions
- Efficient plant settings are identified and recalled by the EnEffReg® algorithms for the appropriate operating times
- ÖKOTEC implemented automatic control systems to select the best performing algorithms
