Energy waste: an opportunity

Energy waste: an opportunity

The vast majority of companies and institutions that hired me for energy consulting shared a common trait: energy waste.

As a rule, this waste is not obvious, nor does it even show up in the metrics typically used in the day-to-day operations of industries, businesses, and institutions. On the contrary, it is something that often goes unnoticed.

Reducing waste presents a compelling opportunity. It generally does not require financial investment—only drive and determination. It’s that simple!

I often found that significant loads were not actually being controlled; they would run idle for hours, wasting energy. I recommended simple controls that required virtually no cost or capital investment. The results were spectacular!

The core process involves: (1) identifying the waste, (2) establishing controls to reduce it, (3) systematically monitoring via metrics, and (4) fine-tuning those controls to optimize results. If you would like to explore this opportunity, I am at your disposal!
