iVolt units exceed forecasted savings in all 5 Council buildings

In October 2015, in the first of two Voltage Stabilisation tenders issued by North Ayrshire Council, iVolt was the successful bidder. The portfolio of properties included 3 schools and 2 council buildings. As part of the tendering process all sites were surveyed by our in-house engineering team and a forecasted savings prediction was made which would achieve a guaranteed payback period. These are shown below:

Bridgegate House 5.14% savings to achieve payback in 7.36 years.
Building Services Complex 7.41% savings to achieve payback in 5.41 years
Dalry Primary School 3.98% savings to achieve payback in 7.82 years
Irvine Royal Academy 6.64% savings to achieve payback in 4.84 years
Kilwinning Academy 5.53% savings to achieve payback in 7.7 years

Following the installations the council was able to log into iVolt’s bespoke web-based energy portal and review the savings after 7 days of operation.

Built into every iVolt is the unique IRT (Intelligent Real Time) monitoring system that allows the unit to go into electronic bypass every 15 mins for 5 seconds (completely customisable) to record before/after consumption. By bypassing the unit it can effectively and without the need for regression analysis calculate the actual kWh savings being made. In each of the 5 sites measured between the date of install and 28th March 2017 the savings exceeded the forecasts.

The results are shown below:
Bridgegate House 6.45%
Building Services Complex 8.87%
Dalry Primary School 7.26%
Irvine Royal Academy 8.13%
Kilwinning Academy 7.77%

In October 2016 the process was repeated and again iVolt were the preferred bidder for 6 sites, although this was later reduced to 4 sites as payback fell outside of the Council’s criteria. The overall savings were predicted to be 6.8% but in fact using the same process have been measured at 8.1% overall. This has significantly improved the Council’s project payback.
