About The Customer

The customer, Camp Grinsby, is a campsite located in Årjäng, Sweden, owned by Staf Coppens. The campsite had a vision to become energy-neutral and sustainable, aligning with Sweden's commitment to meeting more than half of its energy needs from renewable sources. The primary objective of Camp Grinsby was to transition to renewable energy sources and prioritize energy efficiency initiatives. The campsite owner, Staf Coppens, was keen on understanding the energy consumption details, its financial implications, CO2 emissions, and potential areas for energy savings.

The Challenge

Camp Grinsby, a campsite located in Årjäng, Sweden, had a vision to become an energy-neutral, sustainable campsite. The primary challenge was to monitor and manage the energy consumption effectively due to the geographical location and nature of the site. The campsite owner, Staf Coppens, needed to understand not only the amount of energy being consumed but also its financial implications, CO2 emissions, and potential areas for energy savings. The goal was to transition to renewable energy sources and prioritize energy efficiency initiatives. However, the challenge was to measure, verify, and monitor detailed consumption and all energy-saving measures.

The Solution

To address the challenge, Bureau 9000, a study and energy consulting company, partnered with Energis.Cloud, an energy management software. The software was used to provide data-driven advice on energy transition through operational improvements. The solution involved the installation of PV, heat pumps, solar panels, and EV charging stations. A significant part of the strategy was the choice of wireless communication technology for energy monitoring, which proved to be the most economical and qualitative solution given the site's nature and geographical location. The collaboration between Bureau 9000 and Energis.Cloud enabled the measurement of each campsite individually, identifying areas of abnormal consumption.

Operational Impact

The collaboration between Bureau 9000 and Energis.Cloud resulted in a successful energy transition at Camp Grinsby. The energy management software enabled the measurement of each campsite individually, identifying areas of abnormal consumption. This allowed Staf Coppens and his guests to take immediate action when inefficient or excessive energy consumption was detected. Additionally, the insights generated by the software were shared with Camp Grinsby guests, informing them of potential unnecessary consumption. This not only helped in managing energy consumption effectively but also in promoting energy conservation among the guests.
