Original Abstract

One of the most promising ways to make effective use of available natural resources is to increase their energy efficiency in the energy and industry sector. This contribution discusses the energy efficiency of buildings and processes in industrial and also municipal areas. Commonly used approaches in energy management (EM) have been found to be insufficient in many enterprises. There is a lack of procedures for identifying and implementing optimal saving measures in commercial and mid-size industrial facilities, with input from dozens of kW to units of MW. The benefits of energy saving solutions based on EM can be rather limited. Systematic and critical observations of numerous energy saving projects performed by the authors revealed that it is possible to specify key elements which are crucial for successfully implementing these projects. They should be applied as much as possible and can be specified as follows: 1. Technical expertise: Knowledge of industrial facility and possible savings based on experience 2. Good operational data: The acquisition of data in a facility 3. Modeling and optimisation: Assessment of various options and the selection of the most beneficial one This study introduces these elements in a systematic approach and explain them on various industrial projects. The projects differed greatly in their scope; some researched issues were from the commercial sphere (a modern heating system in a wood-processing facility, industrial and commercial laundries, calcium-based pharmaceuticals production), whereas other projects dealt with issues from the municipal sphere (the energy system in the Prague National Theatre, the energy system in the campus).
