Install window films on windows. Insulate roofs and consider light-colored roofing material to reflect heat. Purchase a high efficiency chiller system. Profit twice from reduced waste heat by installing a downsized chiller system when purchasing a new chiller. Downsizing will reduce the capital and operating costs of an energy-efficient chiller.
Motors use the majority of the electrical energy generated in the United States.
Many local companies already purchase energy efficient motors. They sometimes cost more to purchase but are more reliable than standard efficiency motors and cost much less to operate. Many companies have also installed variable speed drives to improve process control and lower operating costs and have optimized their processes to reduce their energy costs. The software will compare payback times when purchasing a new motor or replacing an existing motor. Note that energy-efficient motors often operate at higher speeds if they are not controlled by a variable speed drive.
