P18O,OOO SAVINGS A MONTH ON ENERGY COST!
Excerpt of the speech of Engr. Arjun
Cellona of Marco Polo Davao
during the JETT Heat
Pump Product Launch.
I believe and everyone will agree with me that, at
this point in time, in order for our company,
the Marco Polo Davao, to have a better GOP—we
have to minimize our expenses without
compromising the quality of our service. There
are so many ways to cut the expenses and one of
them is the utility cost. Utility expense
comprises electricity, LPG for our kitchen, and
water and diesel fuel. Fuel rate is increasing
every week and some analysts say it will
continue to soar.
A year ago, JETT Water Heater Co., Inc. visited our
office to introduce their energy-saving water
heating system. Their JETT Heat Pump is said to
save up to 80% compared to electric resistance
heaters and 65% against the steam calorifiers.
It was a coincidence, I may say, because at that
time I was tasked by our GM to further reduce
our energy cost. We made a feasibility study and
it turned out that the project was viable. In
short, we placed an order and our JETT Heat Pump
was installed and turned over on April 18,
2006.
We forecasted to save 4,200 liters per month but our
savings reached more than 5,000 liters. In the
forecast, ROI is for 27 months but at the rate
we are now going, investment recovery is
possible in 18 months or maybe even less.
And there are other great benefits of having a JETT
Heat Pump aside from the big savings. Free cold
air is one. Another is being able to help reduce
pollution and save, in our own little way, our
mother earth… for our children and the
generations to come.
Thank you very much and a pleasant day to
all of you.
