Services & Activities:
Rational use of energy (RUE) means using available energy efficiently by eliminating waste and improving the technologies used without affecting the production or the standard of living.
The main objective of the division is to contribute to the improvement of energy utilization efficiency in the Jordanian industrial and commercial sectors to levels comparable with those existing in developed countries through a comprehensive program of consultation services.
Services provided to the industrial and commercial sectors through RUE division are:
Energy Audits
- Free Preliminary Energy Studies for factories, hospitals, and hotels by distributing a questionnaire (Link) in order to specify the energy saving potentials.
- Detailed Energy Audits (DEA) based on detailed measurement to provide suitable and practical recommendations after field survey.
The Detailed Energy Audits include:
- Collecting energy, water, and production data from the establishment.
- Conducting detailed measurements for the energy consuming equipments.
- Presenting detailed report which includes analysis of the current energy situation in the establishment and the needed actions which will improve the energy use efficiency in the form of specific "energy projects" which if implemented will yield the calculated savings.
Implementation of Energy Conservation Projects
The RUE division also assist establishments to implement energy conservation projects (Link). The following services are provided:
- Financial feasibility studies for energy conservation projects.
- Assisting industry in obtaining financing (grants and soft loans) (Link) for DEA studies and for implementing energy conservation projects.
- Setting specifications and querying offers for energy saving equipment.
- Supervising erection and commissioning.
- Conducting periodic and final measurements to ensure efficient implementation of energy conservation projects.
Awareness
- Prepare and carry out an awareness campaign for the purpose of emphasizing the profit opportunities available by reducing specific energy consumption in industrial and commercial sectors which will result in increased competitiveness and reduction in environmental pollution.
- Publishing a News Letter 4 times a year and The Energy Saving Equipment Directory (Link).
Training
- Training workshops for top management in the field of RUE and energy management strategy for the purpose of reducing expenses and increasing profits.
- Training courses (Link) for engineers in the field of RUE in the industrial and commercial sector through improving energy utilization efficiency and avoiding energy waste.
- Training Seminars to enhance and develop local skills in the field of energy conservation.
