Successful Industrial Energy Reduction Programs

The many factors which are requisite to the success of an industrial energy cost reduction program are systematically examined in this practical reference. The author guides you step by step through the initial assessment process, test procedures, energy use evaluation, and field analysis, with a full chapter devoted to examining the details of actual field tests for a wide range of industrial and commercial settings. Fully covered are the effect of building construction on energy efficiency, heat recovery options, equipment operational factors, health and comfort factors, and strategies for building employee cooperation with energy conservation efforts. Case studies are used to illustrate effective energy cost control in industrial settings including food processing, chemical and plastics, machinery manufacture, primary and fabricated metals, electrical equipment and more.
