Synopsis

Energy management in manufacturing companies, particularly in small to medium enterprises (SMEs), remains undeveloped due to competing priorities and a lack of specialist knowledge. The application of well established and low-cost energy conservation measures could cut a Companies energy costs by 20%. These savings can be achieved through leade rship from management, changes in behaviour and low-cost monitoring and tar geting measures.

Takeaway: The specific energy consumption (SEC) metric c ommonly used in manufacturing to track energy consumption is not sufficient where there is fixed baseline energy consumption.
