Energy conservation in the housekeeping area of a manufacturing plant is important because of the substantial amount of energy required to heat, cool, ventilate, light, and provide domestic hot water for the building and its occupants. A practical approach is outlined for answering where and how the most cost-effective reductions in energy usage can be made. Techniques are outlined for quantifying the energy used by various processes and services, despite the common lack of detailed metering in many plants.
