The Challenge

City Clean has been providing commercial laundry services for over 40 years. As a DIN EN ISO 50001 certified company, City Clean was looking for a software solution that would enable it to continually improve the energy efficiency of its business operations. Two specific goals were to implement efficiency benchmarks for its drying facilities, as well as to monitor and manage energy consumption in its vehicle fleet.

Facts and Benefits

Energy management and energy efficiency: Fulfillment of all requirements for a certified energy management system, especially data transparency for all utilities using KPIs; energetic evaluation
Savings: Optimized energy usage; monitoring the success of
Management & Compliance: Assurance of compliance with the ISO 50001 standard as well as reporting and measures management.
Sustainability: Energy and environmentally relevant and transparent KPIs as well as precise data for reports.

The Solution

EnEffCo® enables high-resolution management and the identification of further potential for energy savings
EnEffCo® enables the real-time monitoring of systems
EnEffCo® additionally enables automatic evaluation of energy consumption and KPIs
Using the software’s statistical functions, City Clean was able to determine how natural gas consumption at drying facilities varied in relation to number and type of floor mats
The burner switch on of one drying systems was subsequently optimized, reducing peak-load energy demand by over 40 %
