ABB across a fleet of 800 motors . The research involved developing a roadmap to reduce the energy consumption of CERN ’ s cooling and ventilation systems through datadriven energy efficiency audits . The potential annual energy savings identified were up to 31 gigawatt hours ( GWh ). If achieved , these savings could be sufficient to power more than 18,000 European homes .
CERN and ABB experts assessed a wide range of data from motors in various cooling and ventilation applications . They combined data from multiple sources , includingdigitally connected motors , CERN ’ s SCASA system and data gathered directly from pumps , piping and instrumentation . The experts conducted an evaluation of the system ’ s overall performance , to offer valuable insights and identify the motors that presented the most compelling business case for increased energy efficiency .
The solution is clear : it is time to prioritise energy efficiency to reduce costs and emissions . Energy audits streamline this process by pinpointing the best opportunities for efficiency improvements , representing a straightforward and practical approach to meeting global net zero targets .
