Visoparts, a certified company specialising in parts and accessories for trucks and semi-trailers, began its energy transition process with Enbiente’s support.

The project included a detailed energy audit and the installation of a photovoltaic system, reinforcing the company’s commitment to efficiency, sustainability and decarbonisation.

Energy audit: the first step towards efficiency

Although the Visoparts building is recent and has an A energy rating, Enbiente carried out a full energy audit, proving that even efficient buildings can benefit from continuous optimisation.

The study identified:

  • Abnormal consumption in air-conditioning systems;
  • High consumption from outdoor lighting during the night period.

This analysis made it possible to define specific actions to improve energy performance and reduce waste.

Measures implemented

Intelligent air-conditioning control

A climate-management controller was installed to automatically regulate AC operation, avoiding usage during periods when the space is not occupied.

Optimised outdoor lighting management

In the car park, Enbiente implemented zone-based routines, allowing only some areas to remain lit instead of all lighting fixtures operating at the same time.

The result: higher savings and lower environmental impact.

Photovoltaic system: clean and independent energy

To reduce dependence on the electricity grid and lower energy costs, Enbiente installed a photovoltaic self-consumption production unit.

This system is expected to enable:

  • A reduction of 88,000 kg of CO₂ emissions;
  • An estimated production of 256 MWh over the system’s useful life;
  • Greater energy autonomy and cost predictability.

With this solution, Visoparts takes a firm step in its decarbonisation strategy and strengthens its role as a responsible and forward-looking company.

Congratulations to Visoparts

Enbiente is proud to support companies that place sustainability among their priorities.

Visoparts is now more efficient, greener and better prepared for the energy future.

Stay in the loop.
