Environmental Impact

Independent research on Green House Gases (GHS) abatement consistently identifies lighting and controls as one of the best investments and with one of the largest impacts on GHG mitigation.

Electricity in Great Britain is mainly generated by burning coal, oil and natural gas, all fossil fuels. Nuclear power and renewable sources ( mainly wind generation)contribute a very small proportion of  total power generated compared to fossil fuels. Electricity  Generation produces tonnes of CO2 from the burning of these fossil fuels but also consumes  huge quantities of water which is heated to produce the steam to power the generators.

The total process of generating electricity has significant environmental impact as shown below.

Each saved KWh can produce 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

(Figures are based on total energy produced by Eskom power stations)

Help Britain become a low carbon economy by enabling your buildings be more energy Efficient and at the same time  Save Costs : 5th Energy Proactive Energy Management System is the first step to helping your organisation make immediate savings and CO2 reductions in reducing Electricity consumption through Lighting and HVAC controls

Why occupancy sensors?

For most business, climate change has developed from being a peripheral concern to an increasingly more central issue for consideration and decision-making by executives and investors around the globe.

Climate change business leaders have discovered that, besides it being the right thing to do, early and meaningful action on climate change can have significant benefits in reducing carbon emissions.

Not only do lighting controls help to save energy, 5th Energy Proactive Energy Management System™ will help reduce GHG emissions. In fact, lighting controls present one of the best ways to mitigate carbon emissions associated with climate change.

In 2007 a report was released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) identifying electricity as the single largest contributor to greenhouse emissions and BUILDINGS are the largest consumers of electricity.

GHG emissions associated with buildings and appliances are projected to grow faster than those from any other sector.
