Strategies to Improve the Bottom Line
With an ever-increasing focus on the environment, companies are continually searching for ways to improve their environmental stewardship and reduce their carbon footprint. An Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) research study showed that companies that have implemented energy management programs are not only strong environmental performers, but they are also strong financial performers, outpacing the competition by 20-30%.*
Eaton offers many PowerChain Management solutions to improve the sustainability and cost-effectiveness of your facility, whether it’s in the design, build or maintain stage of its lifecycle. To mention just a few, lighting control systems lower illumination levels when natural light is high or an area is unoccupied, while metering systems track energy usage to identify opportunities for improvement. Variable frequency drives reduce inrush current as well as real power consumed from fans and pumps, resulting in substantially lower utility charges through reduced kWh and demand charges.
In addition to saving money through effective power management, facilities can save money by implementing a Performance Based Maintenance (PMB) program. This approach allocates maintenance dollars to equipment with the greatest need and avoids unnecessary expenditures for service performed earlier than necessary, or too late to be effective, or in an emergency.
