EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: ORGANISATION X

Introduction

Saving Energy is a social responsibility as South Africa is running low on power generating capacity, whilst the
demand for more power is growing. We can help you to address the three most important aspects related to
conserving energy;

 People Eliminating Waste helps to free up power for growth and the disadvantaged.
 Planet Reduction of your Carbon Foot Print is essential for the survival of our planet.
 Profit Financial Savings are a must for our businesses to prosper.

Be Cool Energy Solutions is a one-stop-solution business based on technical knowhow and best-of-breed products
for reducing energy consumption. We also provide back-up power and maintenance solutions.

Be Cool was established in 2005 as a Solutions Sales Business. We operate with independent sales agents and
installation teams in Gauteng, Kwa Zulu Natal and in the Western Cape. We are BEE exempt as our annual turn-
over is less than R 5 million.

We partner with the leading players to offer solutions that are most cost effective, and deliver the biggest savings.
We offer the following services and solutions;

Investment Grade Energy Saving Audit

Our Investment Grade Energy Audit provides our clients with the right information to make their energy saving
investments. In addition we assist the process to apply and qualify for the SARS 12L tax rebate incentive.

Energy Consumption Profile – Site Inspection

Be Cool has developed a very effective Physical Site Inspection methodology that is relatively simple and
quick, and does not require expensive and time consuming consumption measuring devices.

The site inspection determines and records the information for all electrical devices where energy savings
are possible. From this information, together with the current usage, we produce the consumption profile.

Occupancy Behaviour – Data Logger Report

Using special Data Loggers we can measure the occupancy behaviour of any office environment.

Data Loggers are installed in representative areas of the building to record the occupancy behaviour and
lighting on times. These devises record when the lights are “ON”, and when an area is “Occupied”. From
this data we can accurately determine the potential savings for a building.

12-L SARS Tax Incentive

This information is provided w ith courtesy from Be|Cool


The 12-L Act is an allowance given to any commercial business or trading entity that can show measured
and verified energy savings that have been attained over 12 consecutive months. Taxable amount is reduced
by R 0.95 for every KWhr saved.

Be Cool assists the process of registering the projects with SANEDI (South African Energy Development
Institute), appointing SANAS accredited M&V agents to perform the required baseline and performance
assessment reports.

Energy Saving Recommendations and Proposals

From the data collected, Be Cool prepares the recommended solutions. This is presented in a proposal that
covers;

 Electricity Consumption Profile


 Recommendations
 Savings
 12-L Incentive
 Return on Investment and Pay-back period
 Accurate Quotations

We do all the cost justification work for you.

Energy Saving Solutions

Low Energy Lighting

We supply and install a range of top brands, such as Osram, Philips, Lamptetias, Hyundai and Megaman
which are high quality, long life low energy lighting products.

Replacements for old technology florescent lighting;

Direct replacements for incandescent Halogen Lamps;

 Saves 80% to 90% on Energy Cost


 Less Heat = Reduced A/C load
 40,000 hours lamp life
 Replacement Warranty
 Maintenance Savings – Less Lamp Replacements
 Lower Cost per Light Hour

All shapes and sizes are available for every application including dimmable.

Airco Saver Air Conditioning Control Unit

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Cooling) accounts for about 50% of the energy consumption in a commercial
office environment.

This German designed and manufactured electronic controller increases the efficiency of single speed air-
conditioning units saving up to 30% on energy cost. Ten A/C units can be upgraded for the same cost as
replacing One unit with new generation inverter type A/C. The Airco Saver is quick and easy to install , and
requires no maintenance.

 Cost effective alternative to installing Inverter type A/C units


 Pay-back is 18 months running 8 hours/day, 5 days/week
 3 Year ROI = 140%

Air Conditioner Maintenance

We found that many A/C units are poorly maintained resulting in reduced efficiency as the coils and filters
become contaminated with dirt.

We offer maintenance service contracts that provide for regular cleaning and preventative maintenance to
ensure that A/C units work at optimum efficiency thus saving energy.

Occupancy Sensors

Sensors control lighting and air-conditioning when an area is not occupied. Savings of 60% to 80% are
achieved on lighting cost.

This solution provides the biggest energy cost saving benefits, far superior to Building Management Systems
(BMS) that are mostly time based. The sensors automatically turn lights and air-conditioning “OFF” if there
is no one in the area. They work passively and do not require maintenance or specialised skills to operate.

When you are in your office, the lights in the basement parking are not necessary. When you leave your
office for a meeting, the lights do not need to be consuming energy.

Once installed, the savings are immediate.
