Action on Maintenance and Benchmarking

Properly maintained facilities and equipment produce quality products, reduce downtime and have lower energy costs.

Good maintenance systems provide:

• definitive tools, 

• assign responsibility, 

• evaluate results, and 

• reinforce best practice.

Some examples of systems where effective maintenance practices make a big difference to energy efficiency include:

• Steam Traps

• Compressed Air

• Lighting

• Motors

Ultrasonic, infrared, and vibration analysis surveys can contribute to identifying maintenance needs.
