Your approach to short-term solutions differs from long-term ones. To achieve immediate results, conduct asset audits and install IoT devices for monitoring and controlling consumption. However, long-term energy efficiency and reducing your carbon footprint will require investment in sustainable energy resources and infrastructure updates.

Prioritizing quick wins like adjusting setpoints, improving maintenance schedules and optimising load management can yield payback periods ranging from immediate to under a year. These benefits can pay great dividends especially when compounded over time, but it is just as easy to lose them if there is no systematic way of monitoring, measuring and evaluating performance. In my experience, the best way to balance the urgent need to reduce demand with long-term sustainability is through the implementation of a structured energy management system. This allows energy efficiency interventions to be implemented as part of a broader roadmap and not just as isolated fixes to reduce demand when costs get too high.

When facing pressure for quick energy efficiency returns, balancing immediate gains with long-term strategy is crucial: • Energy Management Pyramid: Start with low-cost actions for immediate impact, building momentum and trust for deeper interventions ahead. • Multi-Faceted ECMs: Prioritize initiatives like digitalization and smart building tech, financially justified by aligning with ESG targets, simplifying reporting, and unlocking cross-vertical budgets—effectively "killing two birds with one stone." • IoT & Digitalization: Leverage quick wins through automation and continuous monitoring to deliver rapid savings (e.g. Controls, Fault Detection and Diagnostics), establish robust baselines, and lay the groundwork for future deep retrofits.

Me deparei com uma situação em que era urgente reduzir custos de energia sem comprometer a operação. No curto prazo, identifiquei oportunidades simples, mas eficazes: Um exemplo foi o ajuste no tempo de uso de grandes cargas. Uma câmara fria, por exemplo, não precisa ter a porta aberta 24h por dia. Ao regular esse uso, conseguimos perceber economia já no mês seguinte. No longo prazo, desenhei um plano de migração ao mercado livre de energia, um processo que leva em média 6 meses, mas que representaria uma redução de até 35% na conta de energia da unidade.

Pour concilier réactivité et vision long terme en efficacité énergétique : 1. Évaluer l'impact : Privilégier les actions offrant des gains immédiats et durables. 2. Optimiser les ressources : Investir dans des solutions à fort retour sur investissement. 3. Communiquer efficacement : Expliquer aux parties prenantes les bénéfices à long terme pour justifier des délais raisonnables. 4. Intégrer une approche progressive : Mettre en place des améliorations par étapes pour assurer un impact constant. Une vision stratégique assure des résultats durables malgré l'urgence des demandes.
