Executive Checklist for Energy Cost Control
The National Association of Manufacturers recently took a major step forward in promoting energy efficiency to its member companies. A June 11, 2007 press release announces NAM’s partnering with the U.S. Department of Energy to promote energy efficiency “best practices.” Finally, and thanks to NAM, the industrial energy efficiency message is being directed to a corporate audience. Energy management concepts have yet to be fully developed in most organizations. The following is a checklist to help executives follow through on NAM’s message:

Christopher,
What an excellent single site summary of an Executive Checklist for Industrial Manufacturers and the Energy management challenges.
I will take the time to read much of this content.
We have technology that saves precious resources, being Energy, Water and Mainteance due to the nature of our control dynamics and our products construction materials.
The challenge in selling any new technology to traditional installed processes is seeking to ensure the applied costs of the technology in the process area are well understood and with this comes great payback results.
The use of technology in executing energy savings must sometimes be allocated new capital and thought capital by the plants to consider process change in support of the drive by the manufacturer to secure the savings.
thanks and you no doubt will scratch this out of the posting, but take a look at us
