Activities

 

 

M.S.Mirab activities are as follows:

1)     Calculation of the energy flow and distribution in buildings and industries through an economic model.

2)     Optimizing the energy consumption.

3)     Breakdown of energy consumed and calculation of the cost ratio for each type of the total energy expenditures in buildings and industries.

4)     Advice on the function of equipment, office appliances and main power system in buildings and industries, including air conditioning, heating, lighting, water supply, windows and doors. 

5)     Calculation of energy intensity.

 

6)     Consultancy on building and industrial materials, equipment replacement and procurement of energy efficient alternatives.

 

7)     Energy audit certificate for buildings and industries through the assistance of the energy auditor, issued by a reputable international energy inspection organization.

8)     Training courses for energy savings efficiency.

9)     Introduction to energy savings funding from local and international sources.

10)  Applying best method to implement new energy savings and renewable energy technologies.

 

 M.S.Mirab will spend a significant amount of time on energy efficiency consultancy and enhancing the awareness of its benefits to building owners, construction companies and suppliers of utility services across the country. Cultural awareness will be enhanced through monthly or quarterly electronic newsletters, active participation in social network websites and the production of short teasers. Training courses and conferences are other tools that will be used by M.S.Mirab for enhancing energy efficiency awareness.

M.S.Mirab will assist in the creation of a mandatory energy certification scheme to ensure the government’s building monitoring process. This certification will ensure that buyers and tenants of buildings and industries receive information on the energy efficiency standing of buildings prior to any agreements. In addition, the building certificate creates the structure that ensures that energy efficiency information is available to all those involved in the building sector at all times. M.S.Mirab will also create the means to provide the training required for the mentioned certification.

In summary, the mission of M.S.Mirab consists of energy auditing in buildings and industries, certification of energy efficient structures, buildings and industries, training energy auditors, making suggestions for the replacement of equipment and the promotion of an energy savings culture in the country. 

 

M.S.Mirab has chosen two institutions to assist in identifying energy auditing with energy efficiency consultancy activities. These two institutions are:

1)     Vitesse Company of Canada for consulting and LEED certificate training

2)     Movaghar Architecture DPLG company from France for ADEME certificates

 

M.S.Mirab’s main activities in the field of energy engineering and auditing, are all according to the international standards which have listed below:

1)     Consultancy for the most efficient use of renewable energy technologies.

2)     Consultancy for energy conservation and retrofitting of homes.

3)     Economic assessment of return on investments.

4)     Introduction to modern technology for measuring energy usage, heating, lighting, electricity generation, insulation, piping, windows, doors and cabling.

5)     Importation of renewable energy technology and equipment.

6)     Consultancy for the local production of renewable energy equipment.

7)     Energy conservation consultancy for manufacturers as well as governmental companies and institutions.

8)     Use of PEH¹ and ZEB² as benchmarks for energy efficiency standards in buildings.

9)     Replacement of inefficient equipment.

10)  Planning for Educating and Savings culture.

11)  Organizing training programs for energy auditors, contractors and project owners.

 

 The energy efficient consultancy services cover various types of buildings;

 

- Housing (villas, apartments, houses)

- Commercial (shopping centers, medical centers, sport centers)

- Industrial (factories, warehouses)
