COPYRIGHT© 2008 EQUIDEX Energy, LLC All Rights Reserved SYNERGY IS KEY Tendency to do one area at a time leads to “Oops Factor” Lack of synergy causes lack of compatibility Less efficiency High implementation costs Higher operating costs, lower savings Less of a value proposition Lack of accountability
15
COPYRIGHT© 2008 EQUIDEX Energy, LLC All Rights Reserved HOLISTIC APPROACH Evaluate energy consumption profile as a whole system Create synergistic energy reduction program(s) for major consumption components Implement measurement standards Account for energy reductions from baseline
