Energy Efficiency Toolkit for Manufacturers

Many U.S. manufacturers have found that improving the energy efficiency of their U.S.-based plants and offices is a great cost-cutting measure. In today’s ever-tighter energy market, a manufacturer’s business performance and profitability can be greatly enhanced by increased attention to energy efficiency.

The National Association of Manufacturers has published a toolkit aimed at helping U.S. manufacturers improve energy efficiency. Available on the NAM Web site, the document tackles subjects such as upgrading HVAC systems, increasing motor efficiency, and implementing comprehensive facility management. Each entry offers concise, no-frills suggestions for improving energy efficiency; best-practice stories offer concrete examples of companies that have benefited from toolkit recommendations. The Toolkit is free for members and $5.00 for non-members.
