Finding Big Savings: The Value of Energy Efficiency
If you have been paying attention to the energy efficiency field in recent years, you have probably noticed a great deal of excitement about the potential of data. But those of us who work with it every day will tell you that it is not about data; it is about information.
Energy Improvement Brings Efficiency to Next Level
At most facilities, everyone consumes energy but only a few are accountable for the costs incurred. Continuous Energy Improvement (CEI) is a new model in energy efficiency which assures, in effect, that energy efficiency and conservation become an integral part of the business culture, and that controlling energy costs is important to everyone. The CEI model goes far beyond capital upgrades — which have traditionally been the major driver of business energy efficiency initiatives — and applies innovative strategies to achieve process improvements, update maintenance cycles, and increase employee engagement. This holistic, long-term, and data-driven approach enables businesses to fully understand how they use energy, and to also generate an actionable "roadmap" for effectively managing this critical component of their production costs against a variable landscape.
