“Each year, globally SmartcoolTM’s HVAC/R energy savings solutions provide our existing clients with a cost effective means of reducing electricity consumption by 213,000 MWh and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 250,000 tons.” Chris Rogerson CEO, SmartcoolTM Systems Australia Pty Ltd

Cooling Down Energy Consumption For Cost Savings Electricity prices are skyrocketing, rising by 35% over the past 4 years alone1. With no end in sight to these mounting electricity costs, and with growing public and government pressure to reduce carbon emissions, businesses are being forced to look for innovative ways to manage their energy consumption more efficiently.

Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems contribute 70% of energy usage2, 63% of greenhouse gas emissions3 and 50% - 70% of the total energy bill4 of businesses and commercial buildings. Significant cost savings can be realised when HVAC/R systems are optimised for energy efficiency.

SmartcoolTM’s proven HVAC/R optimisation solutions help “cool down” energy consumption. From small businesses through to supermarkets, data centres, telecom facilities, cold storage warehouses and commercial buildings, SmartcoolTM solutions are helping organisations profit from energy use reduction, significant energy cost savings, enhanced ‘green’ credentials, and a unique competitive advantage.

HVAC/R energy efficiency the SmartcoolTM wayHVAC/R systems can account for up to 70% of a building’s energy consumption, and compressors use an average of 70% of the energy consumed by HVAC/R systems. It makes sense to target these major energy consumers to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. It’s smart, and it’s proven: in over 30,000 installations worldwide, SmartcoolTM solutions have been proven to reduce electricity usage by an average of 15% and cut demand by an average of 10% - without affecting temperature and humidity control.

SmartcoolTM boasts 2 of the world’s leading HVAC/R energy efficiency products, the ESM™ and ECO3™. Customer’s systems are assessed and one of these modules is selected for installation between the primary HVAC/R controller and the compressor to achieve savings in one of two ways:1) cycle optimisation for air conditioning, refrigeration

and heat pump systems The length of the cooling cycle is dynamically adjusted so the compressor operates in the most efficient suction pressure band.

2) load modulation for chilled line systems The loads are automatically modulated for varying periods of time during the cooling cycle.

Proven electricity use and compressor demand reductionsThe innovative, green building technology of the ESM™ and ECO3™ provide verifiable reductions in electricity use (kWh) and compressor energy demand (kVA) by: 1) continuously dynamically analysing - and adjusting

- compressor cycles rather than relying on traditional pre-programmed fixed (static) values to switch compressors off and on or adjust capacity.

2) interfacing directly with conventional controls - including the most sophisticated Building Management Systems (BMS) and state-of-the-art refrigeration controls - rather than replacing them.

3) reducing overall compressor run time without causing over cycling or affecting cooling capacity, temperature requirements or manufacturer warranties.

SmartcoolTM’s ‘smart’ HVAC/R energy saving products

ECO3™• single model ideal for single compressors in

air-conditioning and heat pump systems and refrigeration.

• dual model ideal for two compressors in air-conditioning and heat pump systems and refrigeration.

.

ESM™• LNC modules connect directly to a network

controller (LNC) which can have up to 4 SIMs or 2IIMs in series.

• SIM module compatible with the majority of cooling systems.

• IIM module compatible with large chillers and complex refrigeration systems including those with screw and centrifugal compressors with and without various speed drive.

• SIMs and IIMs are interchangeable

• compatible with the majority of existing equipment and controls

• maintain temperature and humidity settings

• do not affect operation or cause over-cycling

• quickly and easily installed with minimal downtime

• EC03™ suitable for outdoors (IP64)

• ESM can be remotely or locally monitored for constant, verifiable savings status

• can be manually bypassed at any time

• independently tested globally by leading bodies including the stringent ‘ecospecifier’; proven to deliver verifiable electricity consumption (kWh) reductions and maximum demand (kVA) reductions of air conditioning and refrigeration compressors.
