Building Management

 

In terms of modern building management, we afford contemporary convenience and cost-cutting efficiency.


 

It's Not All About The Money

Taking care of the bottom line is not all that’s required to operate as a successful business in South Africa today. Taking care of staff is paramount. EQS Energy helps you follow Health and Safety guidelines in the office.

  • Office productivity improves through a better working environment for staff.
  • Optimal Safety, Health, Environment (S.H.E.) applications.
  • Relief for today's stressed eyes.
  • Constant levels of pleasant lighting, no matter whether its dark outside or the sun pouring in through a window.


The eye has more than an 8 hour day

Our eyes have to adjust to a wide range of lighting conditions - from half-light at dawn to the bright midday sun and back to evening darkness. But that's not all. Artificial lighting in the modern work environment also bombards the eye with different light sources of varying intensity.

The Electro Sense Proactive Energy Management System™ lighting control system with technology from STEINEL brings relief to today's stressed eyes. It regulates the level of light emitted from connected lamps and light fixtures according to the amount of light that is actually required, thus providing a constant level of pleasant lighting no matter whether it's dark outside or the sun is pouring in through the window. The system only turns the lights on when really needed, when people are in the room. It automatically turns them off again when they leave. Nothing could be simpler. No changes to human behaviour are required. People go about their normal work day while the Electro Sense Proactive Energy Management System™ works seamlessly in the background to provide the optimum working environment and save money.

Good Corporate Governance

Installation of an Electro Sense Proactive Energy Management System™ has a significant positive environmental impact and demonstrates good corporate governance in a world that increasingly wants business to demonstrate an enduring commitment to social responsibility.

The environmental figures are staggering – the more you save the more you save the environment!




Environmental Impact

Electricity in South Africa is predominantly generated by burning coal. The one operating nuclear power plant at Koeberg supplies less than 6% of the total power generated by Eskom. Generating electricity not only requires the burning of coal but also consumes a tremendous quantity of water which is heated to produce steam to power the generators. The total process of generating electricity has significant environmental impact as shown below.

Each saved KWh results in the following environmental savings:

Coal saved (kg):
0.49
Water saved (l):
1.27
Ash produced (g):
132,62
Ash emitted (g):
0.29
SO2 emissions (g) becomes acid rain:
7.56
NOx emissions (g) becomes acid rain:
3.55
CO2 emissions (kg) primary greenhouse gas:
0.89
