Having conducted energy audits and implemented monitoring and controlling systems over the last two years in several companies, our experience and expertise allows us to safely generalise that, irrespective of type and size of the industry   Savings up to 10% can be achieved, without any investment. Additional savings up to 15% can be achieved, with a payback period of 6 to 12 months. Overall production/equipment efficiency can be increased. Utilisation of the equipment can be improved. Suprisingly, even the solutions are more or less universally alike, comprising the following steps:   Collecting and analysing energy consumption of individual plant/equipment. Establishing efficiency and specific energy consumption of major equipment. Identifying the energy losses & developing schemes to eliminate these losses. Supervising/Monitoring for further improvement & up-gradation. The energy audit is usually conducted in Twelve Stages spread over two months. The interactive nature of the audit ensures realistic recommendations and quick implementation. The savings start accruing even before submission of the final report.   We also execute recommended energy conservation measures, either selectively or comprehensively.   An operating review, indicative of the savings achieved in various industries is given below.   ENERGY CONSERVATION STUDIES: OPERATING REVIEW   Sr. Type Of Industry No. of Industries Surveyed Combined Annual Bill (Rs.
