Now, more than ever, appropriate management of energy can yield great financial returns as well as increased production efficiencies. With proper focus, energy costs can be reduced as much as 30-40%. Several major systems, such as compressed air, lighting, steam and motors, can yield great energy-saving potential when managed properly.
