Reducing energy demand reduces economic and environmental impact.
As world energy prices continue to increase, it is essential that organizations use energy more efficiently to mitigate any impacts to the bottom line. Implementing energy efficiency policies and programs can lead to significant savings that do not require capital investment. As major purchasers of power from utility providers, telecommunications industry operators are not only at risk to energy price fluctuations, but they also have a significant impact on the environment.
Coppervale’s deep expertise in telecommunications powering architecture allows us to identify and implement short-term efficiency improvements and develop long-term efficiency strategies for our customers. These efficiencies can also result in reduced carbon emissions associated with a decreased energy demand.
Critical Facilities. Achieving energy efficiency begins by addressing the areas with the highest load demand. Many customer data centers, head ends and hub sites are the product of organic growth and are highly inefficient. Coppervale can re-organize existing equipment to deliver the most reliable and efficient performance. We also work with customer planning teams to set optimal configuration standards for new equipment and plant architectures.
Outside Plant. Coppervale’s experts work with the customer’s technical team in developing energy efficient architectures within the framework set by each customer’s unique existing network infrastructure. We help customers reallocate power supplies for optimal efficiency, and work with customer teams to develop operational guidelines ensuring continued efficient network operation.
Additionally, efficiency of facilities equipment and design has not been traditionally part of the procurement equation. Coppervale will provide training for technical, operational, and procurement personnel to help them understand energy efficiency principles and practices, and how to use product efficiency and utility billing data to make smart energy spend decisions.
