The Excel Project: Energy Conservation Project Excellently Done – Initiative – Dyah Ita

Colliers FM has been implementing a large scale Energy Conservation initiative for our clients. We have managed to bring Citi Indonesia to #2 rank in Asia Pacific in their Energy Conservation initiative in 2007 (The Candlelight Project) ahead of Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, etc. We also brought another project of ours, Graha Pangeran to win the ASEAN Energy Award back in 2002.

We wanted to take our Energy Conservation initiative to a new level. Dyah Ita was assigned to lead this initiative back in Feb ’09. It all started with a blank paper and a lot of ambition. How do we take what we have done to a new level of play?

Dyah started by gathering accurate data of our client’s energy profile at each facility. This effort alone takes quite an effort, because Dyah needs to gather, validate and analyze data from hundreds of properties. From the energy profile Dyah managed to identify potential areas of improvement, as well as best practices across the facilities in the portfolio.

It is very interesting to see all ingenious best practices implemented by our Supervisors in 12 cities in Indonesia and how those can be shared and implemented in other cities. Dyah led the sharing of initiatives.

All of these are done whilst continuously validating and analyzing all energy data daily, so that any discrepancy with the targeted energy consumption can be tackled quickly before it creates a big impact on the energy bill. This is done by Yuliani Novel, Deyla Novera, Relawaty, Dera Herawaty.

One of the initiatives is to upgrade the electrical installation in Citi’s branches using the latest technology in MCB. This initiative needs a certain investment and requires solid financial analysis, as the client is a bank. The installation of this is under the co-ordination of our Engineer, Adhe Dandy Yulianto, who did a great job.

This initiative has resulted in a very significant saving to Citi, and has been acknowledged by Citi’s CRS Regional Management in Asia Pacific. At the end of August 09, Citi has adopted this initiative as a regional initiative to be implemented in 13 countries across Asia Pacific. Another great result based on good character and initiative.
