Energy efficiency, budget
control and consumption forecasts

ENEF is a unitary energy management software that allows you to optimize your consumption and fit your budgets by identifying high consumption points and improving production discipline.

Also, if the cost level of energy bills is variable and difficult to control, an energy monitoring solution helps you negotiate contracts with energy suppliers favourably through accurate consumption forecasts, obtained through the latest Machine Learning technologies, but also develop energy supplier-compliant collaboration and comply with ISO 50001 standard.

Benefits of using ENEF

Decrease and eliminate losses

Failure to identify energy losses is the biggest problem of energy efficiency in industry.

A single hole of 1 mm in a compressed air transport and distribution network, at a pressure of 7 bar, generates annual losses of approximately 6,27 MWh/year (at a specific consumption of 0,18 kWh/Nm3 air produced) and financial losses of more than 800 euros/year.

Tracking specific consumptions

Viewing specific energy consumption on the product unit provides greater clarity on cost and efficiency.

A specific consumption of 0,15 kWh/Nm3 to produce compressed air is considered good. However, the latest technologies and equipment ensure a specific consumption of less than 0,11 kWh/Nm3 of compressed air.

Reducing energy consumption

The system of consumption data analysis and reporting helps to take and validate decisions on energy efficiency interventions and investments.

Replacing a main column of compressed air-carbon transport with an aluminum column leads to 1,3% energy savings, 3% increase in air transport capacity and 900 euros/year cost savings.

Framing supplies in budget values

Exceeding the allocated budgets creates problems within the company and leads to time losses for justification, relocation or finding additional funds.

With ENEF, you know the actual energy cost in real time.

Eliminating parasitic consumption

Monitoring can help you make clear decisions with an immediate impact on energy efficiency.

Closing the access to two floors of underground parking during the week and controlling parking lighting and adjacent areas (full/partial or dimness closure) results in an immediate decrease in consumption of 49,4%.

Parameter tracking and discipline in use

Unnecessary consumption (machines in stand-by, lighting in empty areas etc.) represents a significant percentage of the energy bill.

The annual stand-by energy consumption of all office appliances used in the 27 EU countries is estimated at 9 TWh. Stand-by power consumption is responsible for around 1% of global CO2 emissions.

Reducing the downtime

Real-time viewing and alarming as parameters evolve helps to make quick decisions and avoid unscheduled stops. In order to increase reliability, the quality of distribution, energy consumption, incidents and damage that have occurred can be analyzed, and major defects can be prevented.

By setting alarms in ENEF, a problem was immediately identified with a two-phase motor and an intervention planned for remediation, avoiding an unplanned shutdown of the department. An unplanned shutdown causes a two-hour downtime and costs over 15.000 euros/hour.

Energy legislation

Internationally, best known and most used law is ISO 50001: 2018 for energy management, which is based on the efficiency cycle: Plan-Do-Check-Act. The ENEF app developed by Quartz Matrix complies with and even exceeds the requirements of this standard.

At the same time, the energy management system supports the implementation of the ISO 50001:2018 standard which in the Law no. 121 of 2014 on energy efficiency specifies in chapter IV, art. 9, paragraph 11, that "economic operators consuming annually more than 1.000 tons of oil equivalent energy and implementing an energy or environmental management system certified in accordance with relevant European or international standards, they are exempted from the development of an energy audit every 4 years."

Law no. 101 of 1 July 2020 to modify and supplement Law no. 372/2005 on the energy performance of buildings - the purpose of this Law is to promote measures to increase the energy performance of buildings, taking into account external climatic and site conditions, interior comfort requirements, of an optimal level, from the point of view of costs and energy performance requirements, as well as for improving the urban aspect of localities.

Energy performance of the building - energy calculated in accordance with the methodology laid down in art. 4 to meet the needs of normal use of the building, needs which include in particular: heating, hot water preparation, cooling, ventilation and lighting.

Preh Romania

„Prin prezenta, Preh Romania S.R.L. isi exprima aprecierea fata de colaborarea cu compania Quartz Matrix.

Colaborarea noastra cu compania Quartz Matrix a inceput in anul 2014 in urma achizitiei softului e-Net pentru monitorizarea consumurilor energetice.

In anul 2021 am hotarat sa facem un pas important: tranzitia la versiunea noua de soft – ENEF. Initial, doar un modul de baza pe toata partea de consumuri energetice, insa in scurt timp am facut un upgrade si pe partea de senzoristica pentru a putea monitoriza temperatura si umiditatea din interiorul halelor de productie, alaturi de un modul de alarmare prin email si SMS, foarte important in cazul in care sunt depasite pragurile setate in zonele critice. Recent, am extins softul prin integrarea unor senzori de presiune corelati cu electrovane care pastreaza presiunea in retea in limitele stabilite pentru o buna functionare.

ENEF, softul pentru management energetic, ne-a ajutat sa monitorizam consumurile de energie si sa analizam in detaliu zonele de consum, sa realizam si sa transmitem raportarile catre DEE – ANRE/ME si sa fundamentam deciziile de interventie, astfel incat sa putem reduce consumurile inutile. In plus, cu ajutorul softului ENEF putem monitoriza indeaproape zonele critice unde trebuie pastrate anumite conditii (T&H), prin care ne asiguram ca parametrii procesului de productie sunt respectati, si avem posibilitatea de a asigura protectia instalatiilor si reducerea downtime-ului prin interventia rapida in caz de alarma sau defect.

In concluzie, recomandam compania Quartz Matrix ca fiind un colaborator profesionist si de incredere pentru orice companie cu care va relationa.”

The ENEF application has been fully developed by the research and development department of Quartz matrix and can be configured according to the customer’s specific and needs.

What do you get throug energy management?

Energy consumption control

You know at any time how much energy is consumed at every point of consumption, no matter where it is and how many. Check your energy consumption, check your compliance with the estimated consumption, quickly detect anomalies (overruns or lower consumption).

Time and money

The measurement and acquisition of energy consumption data is carried out automatically, via the ENEF system, without the need for human intervention and movement to the point of consumption. All you need to do is access the ENEF software application on your laptop, PC, tablet or phone and view the consumption data for each monitored point, from anywhere, at any time. Eliminate the costs of personnel dedicated to reading meters and travel costs. ENEF provides centralized, simple and efficient monitoring of energy consumption.

Taking the right decision

ENEF will help in making power management decisions by using real-time consumption data, consumption history on each monitored point, reports of the evolution of various sizes over periods of 1 day/week/month/year.
