People get excited about their savings account earning interests. But, the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) Regional Office XI (Mindanao) has seen a better idea to invest into something that earns three or five times that of bank interests. An "energy audit" is a good first step toward realizing those money savings by making your place more energy efficient.
With today's increasing production cost, it is important to identify areas by which production cost can be significantly reduced. One area identified by DOST is to improve the efficiency of energy utilization among industries. Many industrial establishments are now becoming conscious of their energy usage due to increased energy costs. In response to these needs, the DOST Regional Office XI has a Davao Region Energy Audit & Management (DREAM) Team, which can help the industries in the region.
DREAM Team is a multi-agency group with members from the Institute of Integrated Electrical Engineers (IIEE), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), the University of Southeastern Philippines (USEP), the University of Mindanao (UM), and DOST XI. The team is now ready to provide energy audit services to all interested industries in the region. DREAM team will help industries in setting energy conservation goals, identify areas where energy wastes can occur, relate energy consumption to production, improve the process/equipment efficiencies, and recommend energy saving opportunities.
Put simply, an energy audit determines how much energy your company uses and figures out ways to slash consumption. An audit can show how to save electricity, such as by switching to less-energy-hungry bulbs and appliances. An audit can determine the efficiency of your air condition system. You may notice, for the first time, costly gaps around windows and doors, thanks to the audit.
Interested companies may inquire on how to avail of the DREAM Team services and fees at telephone number 082 - 221-5428 and look for Engr. Benjamin V. D. Estrelladao, Jr., the DREAM Team Focal Person. Happy savings!
