Employees know what is possible!

I am amazed when I meet team members (employees) how much they know about energy efficiency and sustainability. I hear comments like: “we need to do a compressed air audit but don’t have time to call the vendor.” Too often an assumption is made that an audit is too expensive but often having a vendor; compressor, pump, controls or lighting, will answer many of the questions on value of upgrades for minimal cost. An engineering study is required before spending money. That study can be anywhere from free to a full blown engineering study capable of proving ROI and risks. Large companies have energy management departments. Small companies can hire an advisor. The question comes back to: how serious are you about efficiency and sustainability? Only you can determine the value of employee engagement.
