The Results of 20+ Years of Green Buildings: Energy Savings

For our 20th anniversary (1990 – 2010) we have prepared an interesting calculation that reveals, how much energy we have managed to save for our clients. We must also be aware that our client’s profits also represent a profit for the environment. Consequently, we have spared the environment of many unnecessary burdens – in the form of additional warming and CO2 emissions.

The calculation, made at Menerga’s 20th anniversary, is astonishing. We are proud to have achieved it with the trust of our clients.

In 20 years, we have installed 647 air conditioning devices with an overage air flow of 11.300 m3/h.

This would be equivalent to a 10m long, 3m high and 243km (!) wide building.

Our client’s annual consumption is lowered for staggering 68MW energy per year. For comparison: hydroelectric plant Mariborski otok produces 60 MW of energy per year.

And that is only the amount, saved on the basis of the required thermal input for heating

Annual savings due to adiabatic cooling

At heating of air, 7.400.000 litres of heating oil / year => corresponds to a saving of ca. 20.054.000 kg CO2/year

At adiabatic cooling of air 1,476,000 kWh of electricity / year => corresponds to a saving of ca. 782.000 kg CO2/year

For comparison: the EU ban on incandescent light bulbs saved 16,000,000 tonnes CO2/year
