power solutions to corporates and private households. After a detailed audit report was submitted
and the executive summary below presented to Organisation X, they approved the implementation
of the following energy saving solutions as provided by BeCool Sales and Distribution:
Replacing the existing lamps with the recommended low energy lighting solution;
Installing occupancy sensors;
Airco savers.
The parties involved have also agreed to have the entire project completed within 2 months from
project kick-off.
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;
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.
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.
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.
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.
From the data collected, Be Cool prepares the recommended solutions. This is presented in a proposal that
covers;
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.
All shapes and sizes are available for every application including dimmable.
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.
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.
Be Cool has implemented many energy saving projects for our valued clients. Our customers include big name
corporate companies as well as domestic installations.
Summary
We continuously research new products and solutions and select only best-of-breed. We deliver energy saving and
alternate power solutions that are proven, cost effective, and give a good return on investment.
We would appreciate the opportunity to meet with the appropriate persons in your organisation to explore how we
may assist you in implementing energy saving initiatives.
Yours sincerely
