EE Implementation FAQ

What are the 4 steps in Trexon's energy efficiency implementation process?

Trexon's structured 4-step process covers the full project lifecycle: Step 1 is Initial Consultation (1-2 days) — site walkthrough, TNB bill review, and opportunity assessment to define project scope. Step 2 is Energy Audit and Analysis (2-8 weeks) — detailed sub-metering, load profiling, and financial modeling with GITA eligibility assessment. Step 3 is Implementation (2-6 months) — professional installation, commissioning, and staff training. Step 4 is Monitoring and Verification (ongoing) — real-time EPMS monitoring, M&V reporting, and continuous optimization to maintain guaranteed savings levels.

How long does the full energy efficiency implementation take from start to finish?

Total timeline depends on project complexity. A straightforward LED retrofit with power factor correction can be completed in 6-10 weeks (2-week audit, 4-6 weeks implementation, 2-week commissioning). A comprehensive project including HVAC upgrades, BMS installation, and solar integration typically spans 6-12 months. The audit phase is critical — rushing the energy audit risks undersizing or mis-specifying equipment, reducing savings potential. Trexon schedules all implementation work to avoid peak production periods and works in phases where operational continuity is essential.

Do you need to stop operations during energy efficiency implementation?

Most energy efficiency implementation work occurs without stopping operations. LED lighting retrofits, power factor correction panels, and sub-metering installations are typically completed zone-by-zone during normal operating hours. HVAC work — including AHU fan replacements and chiller upgrades — is scheduled during planned maintenance shutdowns or after-hours/weekends to avoid production disruption. BMS commissioning requires brief system access but not full facility shutdown. Trexon's project managers work with your operations team to create a phased schedule that maintains 100% production continuity throughout implementation.

What measurements and data are collected during the energy audit phase?

During the audit phase, we collect comprehensive energy data across all major systems. Sub-metering captures kWh consumption and kW demand at 15-minute intervals for each major load circuit (HVAC, lighting, process equipment, utilities). Power quality analyzers measure voltage, current, power factor, and harmonic distortion at the main incomer and sub-panels. Thermal imaging identifies heat losses, pipe insulation failures, and electrical hotspots. HVAC performance testing records chiller COP, AHU airflow rates, duct leakage, and refrigerant charge. This data feeds into calibrated energy models that predict savings with ±10% accuracy.

How does post-implementation monitoring work and what does it cost?

Post-implementation monitoring uses Trexon's EPMS (Energy Performance Monitoring System) platform, which provides real-time dashboards, automated monthly savings verification reports, and alerts when performance deviates from targets. The system generates EECA 2024 compliance reports required for facilities consuming over 500 toe/year under Malaysia's Efficient Management of Electrical Energy Regulations. Monitoring and verification (M&V) services are typically bundled into performance contracts (RM 2,000-5,000/month depending on facility size), with the cost offset many times over by verified savings and early fault detection that prevents equipment failures.
