To be aligned with the Saudi Aramco Operational excellence program, and promote safety, Saudi Aramco IT completed the implementation of the IT Energy Efficiency Program that aimed to reduce the energy consumption in IT facilities complying with the corporate energy management program as energy is a significant operating cost parameter for Saudi Aramco,
Under IT Energy Efficiency Program, IT achieved $914,000 annual cost saving by completing the all milestones of the project. Twenty two (22) Energy Conservation Measures were implemented in IT facilities as part of the program that resulted in an energy saving of around 11.425 GWH/year with a corresponding CO2 emissions reduction of 8,500 metric tons annually. The implemented measures are related to lighting, cooling, air movement and IT systems.
In addition, 114 energy smart meters were installed to enable instantaneous readings of power consumption and remotely monitor the energy utilization at IT communications buildings Kingdome wide. The meters will help in future reduction and enhancing the energy use in IT facilities.

The IT energy efficiency program can be implemented in any similar facility to enhance the energy utilization (use less energy to produce the same task).

Deploying the IT Energy Efficiency Program helped IT to eliminate the energy waste associated with old inefficient systems and processes. After completing the program, the energy KPI has been improved to the targeted values in addition to the environmental and financial impact with significant reduction of energy cost and CO2 emissions. The IT Energy Efficiency Program has a great return on investment. Furthermore, installing the smart energy meters will enable automatic and remote energy monitoring and will provide accurate meter readings and up-to-the-minute information on consumption patterns.
