(C) To set up automatic operation schedule

(D) To record operation status, electricity consumption etc.

3.The library applied for the Energy Saving Efficiency Guarantee Project and got the highest amount of the subsidy.

4.Based on the operating efficiency of old and new equipment, the energy saving rate of the measured results after improvement can reach 61.5%.

5.The improved energy savings amount to 303,540 kWh/year, and CO2 emissions are reduced by 154.5 tons/year.
