ACHIEVING ECONOMIC RESULTS THROUGH THE CLIMATE WISE ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

摘要

Cosmair's Clark Manufacturing Facility joined the Climate Wise program, a voluntary industrial energy efficiency program sponsored by the US EPA, to support its commitment to energy conservation excellence and total environmental awareness, while emphasizing strong quality programs and improved productivity. A comprehensive energy efficiency and pollution prevention program undertaken over the past decade, including boiler updates, computerized energy management, solid waste minimization, lighting improvements, and motor efficiency gains, is anticipated to save Cosmair almost $2.5 million and prevent 26.7 thousand metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions by the year 2000. Cosmair has worked to share its experiences through the facilitation of peer exchange endeavors, encouragement of affiliated companies to commit to carbon emission reductions through the Climate Wise program, and extensive involvement in community outreach activities.
