Output from BEST-Winery

The Energy Intensity Index (EII) and Water Intensity Index (WII) show the performance of the actual winery relative to a benchmark winery that is based on the same winery using global best practice energy- and water-efficient technologies for each process step (as defined in BEST-Winery). The difference between the actual energy and water use and that of the reference or benchmark winery is calculated for each of the key process steps of the winery and then aggregated for the entire winery, calculated as an intensity per barrel or case of wine produced.
The EII and WII can be used to calculate the energy- or water-efficiency potential at the winery and can be used for evaluating winery progress in efficiency improvement. BEST Winery also provides an estimate of the potential for annual energy savings (both for electricity and fuel), energy costs savings, carbon dioxide (CO2) emission reduction, water, and water cost savings if the winery would perform at the same performance level as the benchmark winery. Once the EII and WII have been calculated, BEST Winery can be used to preliminary evaluate the potential for energy and water efficiency improvement, through the included interactive menu of opportunities. The menu is broken into different energy and water uses, totaling over 100 opportunities:
Water Efficiency (WE — Water)

Energy Efficiency — Refrigeration (EE-Refrigeration)

Energy Efficiency — Pumps (EE-Pumping)

Energy Efficiency — Compressed Air (EE-Compressed air)

Energy Efficiency — Motors (EE-Motors)

Energy Efficiency — Lighting (EE-Lighting)

Energy Efficiency — Hot Water and Heat Supply (EE-Hot Water)

Energy Efficiency — Other Fuels (EE-Other_fuels)

Energy Efficiency — Other Electric (EE-Other_electric)

Energy Efficiency — Cogeneration (EE-CHP)

Each of the sheets contains a menu of efficiency opportunities, including typical energy and/or water savings, capital costs and payback period for that measure. Potential applications can be filled in by the user to evaluate possible opportunities for the user's winery. Selected measures are added in a separate sheet to calculate a new potential EII and WII, as well as potential costs, savings, payback period and CO2 emission reduction potential.
