Sustainability gains in machine and process ops

摘要

Few topics raise the hackles of political emotions as much as talk of "global warming" or "green." Some people are passionate about conservation. Others are suspicious of an anti-business, liberal conspiracy. Putting aside politics, what companies are discovering is that they can be sensitive to the environment, earn credibility with the public for being good citizens, and improve the bottom line-all at the same time.rnPeople who have been implementing energy savings proj-rnects have discovered that no stone should be left unturned while looking for likely candidates for projects. Machine and process operations are often a good place to start. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems can be a gold mine of cost savings, too.
