Boost energy efficiency
The pilot project
To boost energy efficiency, we have been running a pilot project with our local energy utility, enercity, at our headquarters in Hanover since 2023. Our aim is to stabilize the way we manage our energy and to make our energy consumption transparent. We also want to sustainably reduce energy consumption by taking specific steps.
Smart insights, better decisions
A detailed gap analysis allowed us to pinpoint the main sources of consumption
We began with a detailed analysis to identify our major energy consumers. By installing targeted meters and collecting real-time data, we’re now able to measure and understand where energy is used — and where it can be saved. This data-driven approach gives us a reliable foundation for making strategic decisions and evaluating the potential impact of new energy-saving measures.
A methodical and future-ready approach
Our efforts are aligned with industry standards that promote the financial and environmental value of energy investments. As energy regulations become more demanding, our strategy positions us ahead of the curve — and ensures we’re not just reacting to change, but actively shaping it.
Building expertise through partnership
With enercity’s support and tailored software solutions, we’ve put real-time monitoring and efficiency improvements into practice.
“By partnering with Forbo Movement Systems, we demonstrated how customized energy-management software can help achieve climate targets. Real-time data makes lasting improvements possible,” says Holger Lödding, Project Engineer at enercity.
Looking ahead
What we’ve developed at our headquarters will soon serve as a blueprint for our other global sites.
