Investigation into Practical Methods of Reducing Energy Costs in Small Companies

The importance of energy in every aspect of our Hves cannot be over emphasised. This calls for energy management, conservation and usage in order to ensure effective ways of using energy by each sector. The industrial sector is one of the major consumers of the world's energy. An investigation into the practical methods of reducing energy costs in small companies is aimed at researching and suggesting the best practical ways that will help small companies to reduce their energy costs. The methods will help small companies to produce the same quantity of products at reduced energy costs, thereby enhancing their profit margins. It may initially cost small companies some money to implement the suggested methods in order to reduce their energy costs, but the gain these companies will receive after the implementation will surpass all of the costs. By applying these practical methods of energy reduction, small companies are indirectly helping other sectors because any energy saved through these methods can be used in other sectors.School of Mechanical Engineerin
