Energy is and will remain expensive. In addition, companies must reduce CO₂ emissions as part of their ESG targets. Many companies therefore invest in renewable energies such as photovoltaics on the roof or purchase green electricity. But is that enough? Discover the hidden energy efficiency champions in your building with the new online tool. You will learn which settings will save you the most energy, costs and emissions at the same time.
By the way, the example building in our online tool has the same dimensions as the Danfoss production site in Graasten, Denmark. All value quantities of the savings and the related calculations are related to the dimensions of this building. Start playing your energy efficiency match now!
The compilation of information in this tool is based on internal calculations based on the dimensions of a Danfoss building. Actual potential savings always depend on the actual operating and environmental conditions. The information can therefore only be used as a guideline for the energy efficiency of a drive system. The information cannot replace technical advice, is not a promise of energy or emission savings and should not be used as accurate data or analyses. The information is provided ‘as is’ without warranty of any kind and does not guarantee the completeness, timeliness or accuracy of the information. The use of this tool does not release the user from any obligations or duties that may arise from the legislation applicable to the activities to which this document has been or is intended to be applied.
Have you found the hidden energy efficiency champions? Congratulations! Want to turn your digital success into reality? Then simply enter your details in this contact form. You will receive an information package that you can use to continue working on energy efficiency with drive technology in your buildings yourself. If you wish, a Danfoss expert will contact you directly to support your project.

Volkswagen relies on the EC+ concept from Danfoss and Novenco for the ventilation of one of the largest assembly halls at the Navarra plant. EC+’ stands for the intelligent interaction of the optimally selected system components such as AC drive, motor and fan. In this way, the new air handling system at the VW plant offers maximum energy and cost efficiency. Because ultimately, drive technology is the key technology for greater energy efficiency in fans and pumps through speed control.
Compared with the previous ventilation system, the 6 new AHUs have a combined total savings potential – based on nominal operation per year – of 747,429 kWh of electrical energy, 350 tons of CO₂ and 199,115 € in electricity costs in the first year. This calculation results for an energy price of 26.64 Cents/kWh. Other underlying assumptions of the calculation are the CO₂ emission factor of 468 g/kWh and 8,760 annual operating hours.
In addition to these significant energy and cost savings, the new units are also 30 percent shorter and lighter.
