2M Energy Solutions’, ESM™ (Energy Saving Modules), made by Smartcool, are unique retrofitable technology that save energy on Compressors, in Air Condition, Chillers and other Refrigeration systems. Working in conjunction with the existing equipment and controls, the ESM™ maintains the customer’s pre-set temperatures without causing over-cycling. It reduces compressor run time by up to 25% depending on the type of installation. Our clients enjoy electricity demand and consumption savings, often in excess of 15%, giving them a rapid return on their investment. The ESM TM systems were installed in the Portomaso Tower in June 2010.Portomaso is a unique, waterfront residential development covering an area of 128,000 square meters (31 acres) along a 110-berth yacht marina that stretches along 1.6km of water frontage. Complementary components of the development include the 5 star Hilton Malta, Hotel, a beach club, a health and leisure center, an office tower, a conference center and a selection of shops and restaurants. Portomaso is a bold and original project that represents the cutting edge of local property development. It has managed to fulfill the aspirations of the world’s most discerning seekers of property, as well as the yachting community, who can enjoy the pleasure, comfort and convenience of stepping out of their homes and straight onto their boats.
