Tyndall National Institute for ICT Research Winner: SEAI 2010 Renewable Energy Systems Award Part of this project involved the refurbishment of existing clean-room suites. By taking a holistic view of the energy needs of both the process and facility systems, opportunities for system integration were exploited, resulting in a 28% reduction in primary energy consumption for the existing ICT facility. Measures adopted in both the existing and new facilities included: n n n
R econfiguration of the chilled water system resulting in a 40% reduction in energy consumption for the same cooling capacity. H eat from the process cooling water is used to temper incoming air. This has the added benefit of reducing the load on chillers. A heat pump is used to efficiently remove heat from a large cluster of computer servers and transfer it at higher temperatures to the reheat coils controlling the temperature in each laboratory (COP = 9).
V AV underfloor system in conjunction with high temperature cooling system significantly reduces energy usage U se of demand controlled ventilation(DCV) to match variable occupancy L ow specific fan power (SFP) T hermal wheels for high heat recovery efficiency. 1 MW simultaneous heating and cooling heat pump using ground water as heat sink and source G round water also provides free cooling E xcellent part load efficiency with scope for future expansion
Janssen Biologics Winner: ISPE Facility of the Year 2009 (Sustainability Category) This project involved the development of a greenfield biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility for Centocor (now named Janssen Biologics) in Cork, Ireland. The project team worked closely with local residents to mitigate the impact of this large, complex project on the community. The project utilized advanced membrane waste water treatment, captured rainwater for recycling, and installed a biomass (woodchip) boiler for base steam load. This project also involved extensive landscaping that included planting 70,000 trees to mitigate visual impact. The building is 40% more energy-efficient than internal benchmark biotech facilities and there was a 90% reduction in the carbon footprint versus fossil fuel.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGY PM Group has extensive experience in feasibility studies and engineering design for renewable energy solutions that best fit your energy profile. We can provide independent advice on the important issues for these projects, including grant supports, ESCo model, fuel supply and storage options. Janssen Biologics
LEAN for Energy Efficiency Our team of experts has the skills and resources to review and make recommendations on all aspects of a company’s energy usage. A key element of this involves our Lean/Six Sigma specialists who focus on how energy is used across the manufacturing process. They can work with your in-house process experts to identify potential energy savings through the use of Lean/Six Sigma tools normally associated with productivity improvements.
Energy Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Benchmarking Study The Singapore Ministry of Environment and Water Resources (MEWR) commissioned PM Group to conduct an International exercise to benchmark the performance of Singapore’s Pharmaceutical and Nutritional plants against equivalent facilities around the world. The focus of the benchmarking study related to Energy Efficiency and Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The project culminated in the delivery of a series of reports including:
LEAN Services Include: n
Mapping of current energy usage across a facility and identification and metering of significant energy users across the facility n Incorporation of all aspects of energy usage into the Value Stream Map. This will include significant energy users that are not normally associated with VSMs. n Coordination of energy focused kaizen events aimed at optimising a particular area of energy usage n Use of Six Sigma statistical methods to optimise process settings resulting in reduced energy consumption.
