Energy Efficiency and Utility Cost Reduction for Maintenance Teams

With rising tariffs and unreliable supply across Africa, maintenance teams are increasingly asked to cut energy and utility costs without new capital. This programme shows how everyday maintenance decisions on motors, compressed air, steam, cooling and lighting affect consumption. Participants learn to find and quantify energy waste and to build low cost improvements into normal maintenance routines.
