Energy prices are increasing at a higher rate than ever, and there’s also quite a bit of interest in companies becoming increasingly environmentally responsible. That leads many to look for ways to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions, thus saving on overall utility costs. While energy management can be a bit complex, there are a few things you can do to reduce energy consumption on the plant floor. Take a look at these options now.

1. Install Energy Efficient Lighting: This is one of the easiest ways to lower the total cost of the energy you use is to go with better lamp technology. There are lots of ways to do this from switching out the type of bulbs you currently rely on to adjusting controls and adding a number of other components for better performance.
2. Consider an Equipment Upgrade: Your line likely uses quite a bit of equipment, but replacing that with technology that uses less energy may be the solution you’ve been searching for. When one industrial plant in Maine switched to our Komax Scepter Heater to heat the tank, heating time went from more than thirty minutes to just six minutes. There are better pieces of equipment that could be saving you quite a bit of money.
3. Replace your HVAC system: Did you know that your HVAC system can account for more than 30% of your total energy usage? Replacing it with a better designed system that offers energy savings initially is the right way to save on utility costs.
