Energy-management and reduction in large plants

A new downloadable CECO Energy Management Team presentation details the cost impact of wasted energy in industrial buildings and processes, and explains how to reduce energy costs in manufacture

Posted on the homepage of the CECO Environmental website, the presentation explains how seven-figure savings are easily attainable and justified, with payback periods of a year or two in many cases.

The presentation shows how, when energy costs are treated as a component of cost-of-goods-sold, it becomes easier to understand the importance of managing the cost, much like labour and raw materials.

The presentation states that 60-80% of plant energy costs typically go into the manufacturing process, representing massive opportunities for savings that go directly to the bottom line.

According to the Department of Energy, the manufacturing-cost component for energy will increase 50% in the next three years.

The steps for managing process energy - assessment, analysis and reporting - are explained and supported with case histories.

The presentation is available for download from the website.
