Energy Saving

Prior to national response to save power Trung Kien packaging JSC also has specific instructions to departments, officials and employees in the factory to implement well measures to save electricity in the production.

The energy saving measures power in agencies and offices:

Savings in general and in energy, is a matter of national policy, which must be implemented in the long run throughout the life of electricity consumption, not just in the absence of electricity. In order to achieve the long-term and stable efficiency of electricity saving in agencies and offices, our company has carried out electricity saving on two solutions: technical solution and administrative solution.

Technical solution:

Electricity used in agencies and offices is not a convenient electricity for domestic use but electricity for the work of staffs in the agency. Therefore, the technical solutions to save power must both ensure effective electricity saving, while ensuring effective working environment of staff in the office, the steps are as follows:

• The first is to organize a check on the current situation of power usage in the whole office:

- Situation of arrangement of electrical equipment: lights, fans, computers, air conditioning... (reasonable, wasteful by the standards of the work unit).
- The situation takes advantage of natural light and air cool naturally.
- The use of electrical equipment (lights, fans, air conditioners, photocopiers, printers, computers, etc.) of staffs in the agency.
- The situation of the power network throughout the agency: any overloaded wires, old wires, electrical wires, joints, contact with breakers to generate heat damage, to replace or repair.

• Then the company conducted the assessment of the use of electricity through inspection and proposed technical solutions to save power.

Expand or open more windows and glazing including ceilings (if possible) to maximize natural light.
Ø Replace all incandescent bulbs (if any) with compact or tubes fluorescent to save electricity.
Ø Replacement of old 40W, 20W neon tubes with new 36W, 18W neon bulbs and replacement of electromagnetic ballasts with electronic ballasts to save electricity ((When replacing an electromagnetic ballast with an electronic ballast of a 40W lamp, we save 4 hours per hour and give 12.9Wh of electricity due to non-reactive electric charge.)
Ø Install gutters in missing lamps to increase light reflectance and adjust lighting at appropriate height for high light reflectance. Make each lamp a switch.
Ø Make two modes of lighting in the room: light travel activities and work light. Use a neon lamp hanging on the wall for daytime running and compact desk light for each desk of the staff (only turned on during work). This lighting layout will save a lot of power.
 

Administrative and management solution:

Administrative measures are implemented in parallel that is to build a regulation used in offices, to force staff in the agency must have the sense, duty and responsibility to save, ensure energy saving in order, stability and long-term. The content of the rules include:

• Regulations on the regime and time to use the equipment in the agency such as:

- The electrical equipment in the departments when no one working in the room must turn off all.
- Desk lamps on the work desk are only turned on while working (read paper notes, computer typing ...)
- Corridor lights, protection only:
* About summer: Turn on at 19pm and off at 5 am.
* About winter: turn on at 18pm and off at 6 am.
- Air conditioners are only used in the summer and set in the temperature of 25oC - 27oC and must be turn off before there is no room occupant or office 30 minutes.
- Computers are only used for institutional work, the work must turn off electricity, no other personal use (playing chess, tracking stocks, securities etc ...)
- Photocopiers, printers are only used for agency work, not for personal use. But a job must cut off electricity, not to soak the electricity.
- Surplus voltage drop (survolteur) for electrical equipment with stable voltage as the computer (if any) must cut power off the network grid voltage is sufficient and stable.
- Prohibition of cooking by electricity in offices.
- Forbidden to use the fridge in the agency
- Delivering norms to measure electricity power consumption monthly. Winter and summer for each department and the entire agency on the basis of 10% savings compared to before and on the basis of the implementation of technical solutions for energy savings.
- Heads of departments are responsible for managing their monthly unit power consumption.
- The head is responsible for managing monthly electricity norms.

• Track monitoring mode:

- Administration Department has the responsibility to regularly check the daily use of the equipment according to the time regulations prescribed in the internal regulations of the agency and notice on the blackboard of the agency:
* Weekly violations of the regime and time use the electrical equipment of the departments.
* Monthly violations of power consumption norms allocated by departments.

• Reward and incentives:

- Regularly set good example, good in power saving.
- Effective power saving initiatives in the workplace must be promptly rewarded and applied immediately.
- The reward for electricity saving shall be based on the observance of the usage regimes, the electric equipment in the rules and regulations and only on the assigned power consumption norms.

Power saving solutions in the corporate administrative areas of the company:

There are many energy saving measures in the administrative sector. Example: not to cook in the area, out of the office to turn off the fan, turn off the air conditioning etc.

1. The use of air conditioners (HVAC):

In summer, the electricity used by the HVAC is the extra charge, accounting for 70-80% of the total charge in the administrative and non-productive sector. Our office workers still have the habit of turning on the National Assembly, turning off the fan. This is a pretty big waste of electricity. As is well known, surface heat dissipation is largely determined by the coefficient of dissipation. If the air is still standing, the coefficient is very small, but if the air is moving (fan running), the coefficient will be quite large. Because the coefficient of dissipation is large, even if the temperature of the air conditioner is higher or lower, people still feel cool. If we stipulate the summer all the public administrative agencies must run HVAC with fan (low speed), the power of cooling can save 10 - 15%.

2. Limit or prohibit the use of electricity for non-business purposes:

  During working hours, the workers are not allowed to use the electricity to do anything other than their main function.

3. Regulation power outlets after hours:

After work hours, the departments must take the initiative to turn off electrical appliances before leaving.
