Compared to putting some solar PV panels on the warehouse roof, energy efficiency is hard. You need a lot of Subject Matter Experts who truly understand the process or utility system you want to optimise. It is intrusive. You have to do open heart surgery on your...

From steam to compressed air, chilled water to motors, energy is vital to most manufacturing processes. But how much energy is being used, what does that energy cost, are there opportunities to lower that cost? Traditionally, cost was measured in monetary value, but...
