ENERGY WASTE - Is not just excess cost. It is a profit drain ... A primary factor, that contributes to substantial hidden drains on the operating budgets of high-rise buildings is the absence of effective energy waste control. Energy waste frequently is overlooked, because it is thought of as a hidden waste not always easily or inexpensively detected. In some instances, energy waste is ignored by building management because it is felt that installation costs of an energy management system would far outweigh benefits. Nothing could be further from the truth! It is now possible to prove the cost-effectiveness of an energy control system dramatically and with a minimal investment of time and money. One building section (even a function) can be singled out for installation of a tailored energy management system that positively will prove itself. Surprisingly this can be done using existing building wiring and a moderately priced ACT-PCC system of modular controls. The results will preclude installation of the balance of the system, which can be accomplished on a carefully budgeted, section-by-section basis. In these days of high energy costs, it is imperative for efficient and profitable building operation to monitor energy use with extreme care. The cost of waste can run to the exorbitant. A review of energy consumption more often than not discloses areas in which energy use management systems can be applied effectively. In fact, the efficient building manager will find they are limited only by his imagination. In two years (or less) of operation, the cost of the majority of installation will have paid for themselves, including ordinary maintenance costs.
