A local cooling technology company
says an energy efficiency campaign would save both consumers and companies
billions of pesos from reduced demand and consumption.
Hi-Cool Engineering Corp. (HCEC)
said it was supporting the Department of Energy (DOE) and the efforts of some
lawmakers to establish a national policy that promotes energy efficiency.
“We see the urgency of promoting
energy efficiency because it is key to economic growth and sustainability and
it will promote the competitive edge of local companies,” Theresa Acedillo
Lapuz, HCEC director, said.
Lapuz said cooling systems for
manufacturers and commercial establishments account for as much as 60 percent
of electricity consumption based on Department of Energy (DOE) data.
Lapuz said one client, International
Wiring Systems (Phils.) Corp. (IWSP), was recently given the Don Emilio Abello
Energy Efficiency Award after the manufacturer retrofitted its cooling system
from an air-cooled type system to a water-cooled screw-type packaged system.
IWSP, with a workforce of 6,000,
supplies car manufacturers in Southeast Asia with automotive wiring harnesses.
She said HCEC was supporting Senate
Bill 1531, the proposed “Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act of 2017,” which
seeks to manage and restrain the growth of energy consumption through the
adoption of “technologically feasible, economically sound, environment-friendly
and socially affordable measures.”
