IBERSOL • 2023 Integrated Management Report

INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT REPORT 2023 • Reduction in the amount of water used to wash outdoor areas. • Vehicle fleet: conversion to electric vehicles. • For new restaurants, designing buildings with better energy perfor- mance through architectural and engineering solutions that favour energy saving (e.g. maximising natural light through glazing; taking advantage of natural ventilation; using building solutions and ma- terials with greater thermal insulation) and by incorporating more energy-efficient and resource-saving equipment. Reactive Energy Excessive reactive energy consumption, linked to low potency factor values, has some disadvantages: - Reduced service life; - Higher bills from the electricity distributor; - Underuse of the installed capacity. Reactive energy consumption is monitored in order to detect any anomalies in the installed capacitor banks and repair them promptly. Photovoltaic Self-Consumption The Group is planning to install photovoltaic solar energy systems to produce electricity on the roofs and in the car parks of the restau- rants with drives. These photovoltaic installations are expected to reduce the total bill by 29 per cent and have a payback of five years. Electric Mobility The Ibersol Group entered a partnership with its energy provider for the installation of state-of-the-art vehicle chargers. The chosen equipment permits different types of charging, direct or alternate 191
