The SET project aims to save energy in textile SMEs across Europe. It has nine partners from seven European countries and creates an Energy Saving and Efficiency Tool (ESET) to assess energy usage at 150 textile companies. ESET allows companies to compare their performance to benchmarks and identifies energy savings opportunities. It provides indicators on energy consumption, costs, and specific consumption compared to production. ESET also includes a database of 220 best practices for energy efficiency across the textile sector. The goal is to increase awareness of energy efficiency opportunities and unlock potential savings for more textile SMEs.

SET – Save Energy in Textile SMEs - EM2M Campaign

4. Creates and deploys a unique Energy Saving and
Efficiency Tool (ESET) for SMEs of the European textile industry
Enables energy efficiency for 150 companies
by
applying the ESET with 50 companies,
training and assist further 100 companies
Unlocks energy saving potential for further 350 companies
Joins the Energy Made-to-Measure (EM2M) campaign
Develops the third generation of the
EE SAVING SCHEME (and Tools) of EM2M
what SET is and what SET does ?
SET is a project co-funded by the
Intelligent Energy Europe
programme

5. • Fragmented sector and mono-phase firms
• Poor capacity of investment and lack of internal EE skills
• Difficulty in establishing valid benchmarks for plants with a specific technology
• Different priorities in different countries
• Create awareness and motivate to invest time and resources on Energy Efficiency (not
substituting Energy Audits and ESCOs role)
Thus
• achieve better awareness of energy uses and measures in the company
but also
• to collect structured data (for example to prepare an audit)
• to evaluate own performances against similar factories

The result of SET

7. • A stand alone TOOL to collect and
analyse data from the plant
• A web application to COMPARE
performance against benchmarks
• Web models to foresee consumption for
different process technology
• A dynamic benchmark database based
on a community approach

10. ESET has a two step approach: yearly data and monthly data
ESET provides energy consumption and cost indicators compared to benchmarks for each kind
of production:
• consumption and cost / turnover (Eurostat references by Nation)
• energy consumptions distributed by source
• specific consumption vs production (regression analysis)
• monitoring of energy indicators by continuing to use the tool month by month and
checking evolutions
