Weekly Tip #38: Motors

This is the latest of a series of tips extracted from the Green Business Bible e-book:

Motors are responsible for a 64% of industrial electricity demand (source Carbon Trust) so they should form a key priority of any manufacturers' energy efficiency campaign:

• Implement an upgrade plan for motors, and always buy the most efficient model as any additional cost will be paid back very quickly in most cases.
  
• Install Variable Speed Drive motors where appropriate eg rather than constantly pumping a fluid against a valve.
