Enova’s energy
analysts to assess
data against industry best practice and
international protocol. By providing a
clear, transparent overview of a site’s
actual consumption, it identifies areas
of optimisation and maintenance
to be prioritised by the company’s
staff on-site. Analysis is based on
real-time monitoring and trends, with
consumption monitored regularly and
compared with benchmark values.
Enova manages over 2,500 sites across
the region, including shopping malls,
airports, offices, schools, hotels, clinics
and residential buildings, and captures
and monitors data from 11,000 data
points. Thanks to this smart approach,
which combines energy services with
monitoring and maintenance from the
start, costs can be reallocated whereby
the energy savings pay not only for the
initial investment to implement energy
conservation measures, but also for
constant consumption monitoring and
any potential maintenance needed
to improve the operational quality of
the site as well as the lifespan of its
assets. Spearheading the adoption of
such initiatives in the MENA region is
Francisco Ramalheira, who has been
appointed Enova’s Director – Business
Development and Marketing.
“Francisco is a skilled and highly valued
colleague whose extensive operational
experience has given him a thorough
understanding of various business
models and of our clients’ expectations,”
Le Guennec added.
Ramalheira has worked for Enova since
2009 and was previously Director of
Operations responsible for Bahrain,
Qatar and Saudi Arabia. His experience
spans involvement in more than
200 projects providing operational,
technical and sustainability consulting
services in Europe, South America
and the Middle East, to clients with a
diverse range of portfolios. n
