5 Tips to Launch Your Energy Monitoring Project

5 Tips to Launch Your Energy Monitoring Project

The premise is simple–to reduce energy costs, manage energy consumption. However, managing consumption requires that you monitor and understand your energy usage. Here are five tips that will help you get started:

1. Get buy-in from the top. It’s easy to switch to fluorescent light bulbs or raise the temperature on the A/C, but real energy management is going to require support from the top. How do you sell energy monitoring at the highest levels of your organization?

Presently, few organizations are set up to account for their energy usage. Power bills typically go straight to personnel in accounts payable, who don’t ask questions but simply cut checks. Even if managers look at a power bill, the bill shows no detail on when or where energy was used.

Why pay more than you need in motion control?

Today's technology affords servo motor manufacturers a wide variety of design options for integral motor drives and controls. The temptation to pack them all into a full featured product may be good for the user, but will probably not meet the objectives of the cost-conscious OEM. Dunkermotor senior applications engineer, Jay Becker, discusses the various motion control options available.
