Why Haven’t We Done This Before?
The savings outlined in our proposals are striking and beg the question; why haven’t we done this before? The simple answer is, that it’s been a long time coming. To properly answer the question, one must review energy costs past to present.
Up to the energy crisis of the early 1970’s, energy consumers operated with relatively inexpensive power. Since the crisis, increasing energy related expenses have come under attention with particular interest in what it costs to operate energy consuming equipment. From this shift emerged an industry aimed specifically at technical advances in the energy consumption cost rather than exclusively lower initial equipment cost.
As a result, the aging equipment in your facility is a prime candidate for modernization. Moreover, very recent technical innovation further reduces costs exacerbating the appearance of unawareness.
