Once you understand how you are billed for energy use, you can consider options for reducing the overall quantity of energy you use, depending on production requirements, which usually take precedence.

While there are a myriad of ways to reduce energy consumption in any facility, Applied Energy helps you identify and prioritize those with the greatest potential savings and/or the fastest paybacks (typically less than 2 years).

We focus on the 6 largest energy uses within most facilities:

• Large electric motors
• Air compressors
• Process heating & cooling
• Comfort heating & cooling
• Lighting
• Natural Gas (Boilers, Furnaces, etc)

Trade-offs are usually involved in prioritizing energy-efficiency projects, but we can provide you with the tools to make informed decisions. It is frequently possible to identify projects that can deliver energy savings of 20-30% of a facility’s current energy consumption, often with paybacks of less than 2 years.

Significant additional savings can sometimes be obtained with relatively minor modifications to operating schedules.
