Adjustment of Operating Hours
Refrigeration Technology
Measure Goal
The goal is to standardize the calculation of electricity savings that are triggered by adjusting the operating times of refrigeration systems to avoid unnecessary running times.
Examples and Scenarios
Reduction of operating times of a refrigeration system with 70 kW by 500 hours per year
Inputs
Elektrische Leistung: 70 kW, Reduktion der Betriebsstunden: 500 h/a
Requirements
Only measures that meet the requirements of the Energy Ordinance (SR 730.01; EnV) can be credited. The additional requirements for the technical characteristics and for the implementation of the measure are set out in Table 1.
| Technology | Mains-operated refrigeration systems within the scope of Annexes 1.14 or 2.11 EnEV (SR 730.02; EnEV) with a rated cooling capacity of up to: - 80 kW in the application area of comfort air-conditioning with direct evaporator - 200 kW in the application areas of comfort air-conditioning with refrigerant carrier, IT servers and process cooling |
|---|---|
| Implementation | The measure must be carried out by a qualified specialist / company. |
Proof of compliance
Compliance with the requirements must be demonstrated by the following documents. The documents listed in Table 2 are an integral part of the proof of measure implementation.

Calculation Formulas
Annual Electricity Savings
The annual electricity savings result from the electrical power consumption multiplied by the reduction in operating hours.
Cumulative Electricity Savings
The cumulative electricity savings result from the annual savings multiplied by the standard effective duration.
