Energy Efficiency

The hot news on radio and television these days concerns the high cost of energy for electricity, natural gas, and oil, especially the electricity crisis in California from deregulation. Our life is built on energy: we cannot operate our machinery, light up our factories, keep our buildings warm, or run our computers without energy.

Since the last oil embargo 27 years ago, industry has lost touch with energy issues because prices stabilized and supplies became abundant. In recent months, however, energy prices are soaring, up by more than 50 percent in some cases, squeezing company profits and becoming an important element to address. Now everyone is asking, "What can we do to assure supplies and get lower prices again?"

Effective management of energy-consuming systems can lead to significant cost and energy savings as well as increased comfort, lower maintenance costs, and extended equipment life. A successful energy management program begins with a thorough energy audit.

ENERGY AUDIT
An energy audit evaluates all energy-consuming processes and systems in your facility. It starts at the utility meters that monitor each energy source entering your facility. It then identifies the energy streams for each fuel, reviews the usage patterns, quantifies the energy streams into discrete operations, evaluates the efficiency of each of those operations, and identifies energy and costsavings opportunities.

IES SERVICES
IES can conduct an energy assessment of your facility to identify areas where energy usage can be reduced in a cost-effective manner. An IES representative will visit your site, review your utility bills, evaluate your operating and utility systems, and provide recommendations to increase the efficiency of your systems. Let IES help you boost your bottom line by cutting your energy operating costs.
