How to Save Energy and Cut Costs Throughout Your Facility Costly energy losses are hiding around every corner in an industrial facility. At the loading dock, inefficient exterior doors, trailer door hinge gaps, and dock leveler gaps let valuable energy escape. These gaps combine to create significant openings, that left un-sealed, cost money through increased energy consumption. Further inside the facility, excessive energy is consumed by an abundance of ineffective floor and ceiling fans. Reducing the number of fans while improving the effectiveness of air movement can have a major impact on heating and cooling costs. Finally, if cold storage is part of the facility, inefficient freezer openings are a major drain on energy use. Attend this presentation to learn how to effecivley save on energy and reduce costs throughout your facility.
