Because customer support is a priority for ETT, we have set up an energy performance team to monitor, control and optimise your energy performance.
The overall cost of your air conditioning system
Over a period of several years, ETT monitored the consumption of almost 100 Rooftop air conditioning units installed in various supermarkets throughout France.
The aim was to determine the breakdown of the true costs of the installation, taking into account the purchase of the machine, its installation, maintenance and operation.
The study revealed the predominant share (>80%) that energy consumption holds in relation to the overall cost of the installation, from purchase to the end of the equipment's life. It even accounts for up to 50% of the total energy consumption of a large retail outlet.

Reducing energy consumption: the biggest source of financial gains
The biggest source of financial savings for a project owner is lower energy consumption when operating a building.
Obviously, this means choosing, from the outset, equipment that has been specifically developed to offer the highest possible energy performance coefficients (SCOP and SEER). The added value of purchasing high-performance equipment is largely and quickly offset by the energy savings generated.
It is also possible to significantly reduce energy consumption over the lifetime of the heating/air-conditioning system.
In fact, as the building's use and behaviour change, the real-time adjustment of various parameters by controlling the regulation functions (set points, time slots, adjustments of neutral zones and differential settings, free cooling, etc.) has led to extremely significant financial gains.
That's why ETT offers its customers a service for monitoring and controlling their machines to optimise their performance.
Example of average annual energy costs *
An average of 30% savings in energy consumption was achieved following ETT's remote intervention (i.e. 8 tonnes of CO2 saved over 1 year). This saving rises to 60% for adiabatic thermodynamic machines (optimisation of water consumption).
French Decree on commercial buildings and energy efficiency
In 2019, a French decree (2019-771) came into force, setting 20-year targets for the gradual but significant reduction of energy consumption by owners of commercial buildings.
In particular, it recommends the installation of high-energy performance equipment, as well as the introduction of monitoring and active management systems for HVAC installations.
With this in mind, ETT has developed this service, which is a practical and proven solution for reducing energy consumption in facilities already equipped with ETT machines, both in France and in all other countries where they are installed.
