At the end of April 2014, Fronius International GmbH will be launching a new and innovative online tool for installation companies and Fronius Service Partners. It will support installers servicing Fronius Solar Energy products.

The energy efficiency challenge Domestic energy conservation is one of the biggest challenge builders and homeowners face today. Homes and buildings are considered to be a substantial source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Smart cities developers are paying a particular attention to these challenges by initiating innovative and cost effective solutions to improve energy efficiency and address rising energy costs. What are the possible applications? Energy efficiency can be successfully implemented by: • Maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature using the least amount of energy possible. • Using appliances (i.e., heating and cooling systems, lighting system, kitchen, e.t.c.) with high energy efficiency standards. When both of these approaches are met, less electricity from the grid will be used which will have a direct impact on the fossil fuel consumed and CO2 emissions. There are many parameters to be considered in developing an energy conservation plan for your building or home. Before implementing any solution one should spend time to deploy a detailed energy consumption profile across your facility to identify areas where energy is used inefficiently. As following action, you should deploy a priority list to rectify and improve the use of energy based on available budgets. Some rectification actions which could be considered are: • Attic/roof insulation • Water pipes and storage water tank insulation • Lighting (replace ordinary bulbs with CFLs) • Electrical appliances (choose an AAA-rated energy efficient) • Cooling/Heating (regulate the HVAC charge input control according to weather conditions) • Water heating control (fit a time switch to control heater) • Upgrade windows and doors (air leakage improvement) • Utilize a solar water heating system • Utilize a solar PV system and electricity storage system to produce 100% of your house energy needs Domestic water heating and cooling, account for the largest portion of your monthly energy bill. That amount of energy can be substainly reduced by implementing an eco-friendly solution that harness sun’s energy. A correctly sized solar water heating and cooling system will cover up to 70% of your hot/cold water requirements with solar energy. Currently, most households in Europe have adapted this technology. What is the added value of EMRA in relation to green buildings and houses? At EMRA we have developed an innovated universal system that covers: – Overall water heating and cooling requirements – HVAC systems operation – swimming pool cooling or heating Excess of electricity from PV system is typically stored in small batteries or sold to the grid at fixed prices if the local legislation permits it. How much electricity will I produce? Environmentally friendly and cost effective installations can contribute up to 1500 kWh per year free electricity, for water heating and cooling purposes (considering a three square meter solar water heating panel) and up to 8450 kWh per year free electricity, for heating/cooling the swimming pool and for the operating an HVAC system (considering a 5KW solar PV system). Become sustainable today! If you want to invest in renewable energy then it is important to spend time to choose the right system. EMRA has the experience, expertise and track record to support your commercial, residential or industrial energy efficiency challenges and requirements.
