• "• Understand and read your bill • Renegotiate and anticipate your contract: - Analyze the possible rates on certain taxes; the power levels to be subscribed and the electricity transmission options, tariffs (flat rate or not, with or without subscription, fixed or indexed), green electric, capacity, etc. - Request an estimate of the budget (excluding VAT) for the last 12 months and which mentions 3 of the following elements (suppliers, deliveries and taxes). - Consult a broker to get the best rates - Ask suppliers what additional services they can offer: an online platform to monitor their consumption or load curves, etc. - Anticipate the renegotiation of their contracts. - The cancellation period is often equivalent to 45 days / possibility to negotiate 6 ÷ 12 months in advance • Electricity: Discussion 6 months before the due date • Gas: as soon as possible and preferably between April and October. • Adhere to a renewable offer (green energy: energy from renewable sources). It is thus possible to benefit from a guarantee of origin: an electronic document that certifies that for each MWh of electricity consumed an equivalent quantity of renewable electricity is fed into the grid."

• When investing in energy-using equipment, it is essential to evaluate a full life-cycle cost approach: investment costs, energy use and maintenance costs during its life cycle and recycling/waste. It shows that for most energy-using equipment, costs in the use phase have the largest share of the total costs over the technical lifetime. Due to savings generated in the use phase through optimisation measures, extra costs at purchase can be amortised very quickly.

• "Many plants run all year long (24/7) while production or usage times may be different. When optimizing the HVAC, the first question should be which areas should be supplied and at what times. The resulting energy savings are among the simplest and most effective measures. The reduction of the running time not only saves power for the fan, but also energy for air conditioning (heating, cooling, humidifying and dehumidifying).Further advantages which result from the reduction of the running time are: • Reduced maintenance intervals: As many systems need to be serviced after certain hours of operation (for example, periodic inspection, etc.), the maintenance interval can be extended. • Reduced filter replacement: Filters are usually changed after a certain pressure difference or after a certain running time. Reducing the runtime reduces both the level of contamination and the filter's operating time."
