Energy Efficiency Design SWG — Spin 1, 2008

Energy Efficient Design (EED) helps investors to design, construct and manage projects so that energy usage is minimised during subsequent operation.

Purpose

• Promote EED as a means to develop the best energy-saving opportunities for the least initial investment at the project design stage
• Develop an EED methodology for implementing EED in design projects in industrial processes

Members: Members of Energy Agreements Programme and engineering design companies

Activities: The SWG sponsored 6 projects that demonstrated either the benefits of the EED methodology or the associated design tools

Output

• Energy Efficient Design Methodology (See links below)
• Case studies (See links below)

Opportunities identified

• Energy-saving opportunities maximised
• Capital costs reduced in both utilities and processes
• Successful energy management, through delivering the required infrastructure at the design stage
