Reliance Bearing & Gear Company
Distribution sector: Dublin, Cork and Limerick
This Resource Efficiency Opportunity assessment outlines the potential benefits to Reliance of using Greenbusiness to help manage their resources more efficiently. The site visit identified a range of recommendations with good associated potential benefits, including:
- Over €4,800 per annum cost savings, with many additional savings possible
- Reduced use of energy by:
- investigating night time electricity usage (which should in theory be zero)
- removing excess lights in offices and conference room
- conducting a lighting audit in the warehouse and install passive infrared (PIR) lighting if savings can be realised
- improving space heating, by (a) decommission or uninstall existing heating system and replace it with an efficient gas fired boiler and associated hot water radiators with Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs); (b) move the server room contents into the archives room and pump the excess heat into the open plan office; or (c) the cheapest solution would be to buy efficient point source heaters for the individuals who are cold and turn off the existing heating system
- Reduced waste through establishing a paper recycling scheme in the office and a metal recycling scheme in the warehouse.
