Starting a meter-based operations and maintenance strategy program

BY DON MILLSTEIN, E-Mon

The rising cost of producing, delivering, and consuming energy in its various forms continues to affect the facility environment. However, despite dramatic cost increases on all fronts, overall energy efficiency has improved 23.5 percent since 1990, according to “Energy Efficiency Trends in Canada—1990 to 2009”, a recent publication of Natural Resources Canada.

NRC figures comparing power consumption (without factoring in energy-efficiency measures)...
