Managing energy costs effectively is a challenge many businesses face, especially with fluctuating energy prices and increasing sustainability goals. 

‍

This is where equipment cost simulations become useful. By modelling energy expenses based on equipment usage, businesses can see exactly how much their equipment costs to run, and how much they can save from upgrading.

‍

Termina combines your business’ equipment registry and facilities management with your energy audits to build an equipment cost model to understand your running costs without expensive hardware.

What Is an Energy Cost Simulation?

An energy audit - or energy cost simulation is a digital analysis designed to predict a business’s energy consumption and the running costs of each piece of energy-consuming equipment. 

‍

This data is then used to build cost-saving models, whether it’s replacing inefficient equipment or exploring electrification opportunities.

‍

The purpose of an energy cost simulation is to give businesses a clear understanding of their potential energy usage and associated costs. 

‍

With these insights, companies can make better-informed decisions about energy efficiency measures and cost-effective upgrades.

‍

Key Benefits of Energy Cost Simulations:

‍

• Cost Savings: Highlights areas where energy consumption can be reduced, leading to significant savings on utility bills.
• Environmental Impact: Calculate carbon emissions reduction by minimising overall energy consumption.
• Reduce Maximum Demand: Reduce the electrical requirements of your business moving into a new location by simulating the max demand reduction of replacing inefficient equipment.

How to run an Energy Cost Simulation

This process is a simplified energy audit. All you need to do is add the equipment into your Termina equipment asset registry. You can take multiple steps to increase the accuracy of your equipment cost model by:

1. Adding ‘generic’ equipment models to your site. This has a standard load profile for the equipment you use and will give you a rough cost estimate.
2. If you have the manufacturer’s specifications from the equipment name or model you can include these to improve the model.
3. For more accurate results you can run a usage test onsite without hardware from the platform.
4. Finally, for the most accurate results you can optionally connect a consumption monitor for exact equipment costs.
