Green Move Consulting just finished an impactful exercise on level III boiler audits for our clients. A Level III boiler audit is the most in-depth and rigorous type of inspection for boilers. It involves a thorough examination of the boiler's components, operation, and maintenance practices for improving energy efficiency. By providing detailed insights into the boiler's operation and identifying areas for improvement, audits can help organizations reduce energy consumption, lower costs, and minimize their environmental impact. Sometimes, you can see the improvement with make eyes. You need tools to support the assessment. For example, we can see the temperature of the chimney is very high (>300 oC), which indicates the poor heat transfer inside the boiler between the flue gas and the water due to scaling or too fast airflow.

Green Move Consulting is collaborating with Engineering Resources International (ERI) Ltd to offer service in Science Based Target for clients in Cambodia and in the region (Thailand, Lao, Vietnam, etc.). What is science-based target?
A science-based target (SBT) is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goal for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. These targets are grounded in the latest climate science and aim to limit global warming to a specific level, typically 1.5°C or 2°C above pre-industrial levels.

Here's a breakdown of SBTs:
1. Purpose: SBTs help companies and organizations define ambitious yet achievable reductions in their emissions footprint. They contribute to combating climate change by aligning business practices with the goals of the Paris Agreement.
2. Development: The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) is a key player. This collaborative effort, backed by organizations like CDP, UN Global Compact, World Resources Institute (WRI), and WWF, provides frameworks and validates targets submitted by companies.
3. Focus: SBTs typically target reductions in a company's greenhouse gas emissions across their value chain. This includes:
3.1. Scope 1: Direct emissions from company-owned or controlled sources (e.g., factory smokestacks)
3.2. Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, heat or steam
3.3. Scope 3: Indirect emissions from the broader value chain (e.g., business travel, purchased materials) - For companies where Scope 3 emissions are significant, these may also be included in the SBT.

Benefits of Science-Based Targets:

1. Clear Roadmap: SBTs provide a clear roadmap for companies to reduce their environmental impact, helping them transition to a low-carbon future.
2. Competitive Advantage: Companies with SBTs can demonstrate their commitment to sustainability, potentially attracting investors and customers who prioritize environmental responsibility.
3. Risk Management: By proactively addressing climate change, companies can reduce their exposure to future regulations and costs associated with carbon emissions.

This is a load profile of a solar rooftop. The graph shows that the solar system produces the most power around noon when the sun is highest in the sky. Power output is lowest in the morning and evening when the sun is lower in the sky. The average power output for the 24-hour period was 45.03 kW, with a minimum of 0 kW and a maximum of 189.81 kW.

The fact that solar power is intermittent, meaning it only produces power when the sun is shining and when grid power is available, can have a number of implications for the grid.

1. Reduced demand for grid power: During the day, when solar power is being produced, there is less demand for power from the grid. This can help to reduce the strain on power plants and reduce the need for fossil fuel-based generation. This is good.
2. Increased strain on the grid during peak hours: In the evening, when solar power production drops off, there is a sudden increase in demand for grid power. This can strain the grid and lead to brownouts or blackouts if there is not enough capacity to meet demand. Meaning, there must be good reserve capacity to meet the demand, especially during cloudy due to student drop of power supply from solar.
3. Voltage fluctuations: The output of solar power can fluctuate depending on the amount of sunlight available. This can cause voltage fluctuations on the grid, which can damage electronic equipment. Even if there is zero export, we observe a great voltage rise.

Potential solutions to these challenges include:

1. Energy storage: Solar energy can be stored in batteries and then released back onto the grid during peak hours. This can help to smooth out the supply of solar power and reduce the strain on the grid.
2. Improved grid infrastructure: The grid can be upgraded to better handle the intermittent nature of solar power. This may include installing new transmission lines and transformers.

Reducing your home's energy consumption is a great way to save money and help the environment. Here are some tips to get you started:
Quick and Easy Behavioral Changes:
• Switch off lights: This one seems obvious, but it's worth mentioning. Turn off lights in rooms you're not using and maximize natural light whenever possible.
• Power down electronics: Don't leave electronics on standby - power them down completely when not in use. Many have automatic sleep modes you can enable as well.
• Unplug chargers: Phone and laptop chargers continue to draw a small amount of energy even when not actively charging.
• Adjust the thermostat: In the summer, bump up the thermostat a few degrees and wear lighter clothing. In the winter, lower it slightly and wear warmer clothes.
• Smart appliance use: Run dishwashers and washing machines only when full and utilize air-drying whenever possible. Wash clothes in cold water whenever it gets the job done. Consider cooking with a microwave or toaster oven for smaller meals instead of the full-size oven.
Low-Cost Upgrades:
• LED Lighting: Replace traditional incandescent bulbs with LED bulbs. They use significantly less energy and last much longer.
• Caulk Drafty Areas: Seal air leaks around windows and doors with caulk. This can make a big difference in keeping warm or cool air inside.
• Showerheads and faucet aerators: Low-flow showerheads and faucet aerators can significantly reduce hot water usage without sacrificing water pressure.
Investment-Oriented Improvements:
• Energy-efficient appliances: As your old appliances need replacing, look for models with high Energy Star ratings. While they may have a higher upfront cost, they'll save you money on your energy bills over time.
• Smart thermostat: Invest in a programmable or smart thermostat that can automatically adjust heating and cooling based on your schedule and preferences.
• Weatherization: Consider modernization, such as adding insulation to walls, roofs, or areas that are exposed to direct sunlight, applying white reflective paint to the roof, or planting trees in the south, east, and west.

There are two main reasons why setting your AC at 25 degrees Celsius can save energy compared to 16 degrees Celsius:
1. Less Work for the AC Unit: Air conditioners work by removing heat from the air inside your room and transferring it outside. The bigger the difference between the desired temperature (set point) and the inside temperature, the harder the AC unit has to work to reach that set point.
2. Laws of Thermodynamics: According to the laws of thermodynamics, it takes more energy to move heat from a colder space to a hotter space (your room to the outdoors on a hot day).

Based on actual measurements, we can achieve 57% energy saving.
