JOANNE HOPPER TUMALET SOFTWARE STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Executive summary
Tumalet is a large software company located in Silicon Valley California. The company is committed to improving energy efficiency and reduce the emission of Co2 as part of establishing a sustainable business strategy. In the past five years, the company has invested half million dollars on energy projects. These projects have led to the company saving US $600, 000 a total return on investment for 120%. The current downturn of the business and the rapidly rising prices of gas and electricity are focusing the company to find new ways of reducing and minimizing energy costs and the effect of price increase towards its operations.
Introduction
Fuel and Energy efficiency are a type of thermal efficacy. This means that the efficiency of processes that convert the potential off chemical energy in fuel carrier to work or kinetic energy. Energy efficiency means the use of low level of energy in the provision of the same energy service. Tumalet is faced with the challenge of increased cost from the escalating gas and fuel prices. It has to find ways to minimize costs and impact of fuel prices to its operations.
Findings
Tumalet has succeeded in improving energy efficiency. It has established the use of retro-fits that are simple and quick. The company has also adopted the use of low-energy bulbs and dimming lighting of hallways at day time. The low-costs policies of the company in turning down electricity and maintaining cleanliness have resulted to major savings. As an office building, the energy consumption rate is as follows 25% heating, 27% cooling, 18% lighting, 30% office equipment, 8% ventilation and 1% cooking. Despite of the improved energy efficiency strategies that Tumalet software has used, there is still need to generate ways of dealing with the increasing costs of fuel and gas prices and how these escalating cost impact on the company’s processes
Conclusion
The soaring
