Virtually all businesses use appliances or machines of
some kind to produce their products and services.
Many of these devices (like ovens, washing and pressing
machines, welding equipment, paint sprayers, electroplating units and refrigeration
systems) are such heavy users of energy that they may actually account for more
of your energy costs than all other sources combined.
Machines also generate secondary costs by increasing the
heat load your air conditioning system has to deal with.

we suggest that you contact your equipment manufacturer, industry association
or energy consultant.
