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.
