Energy Program Management in Manufacturing
Our organization is driving substantial energy efficiency improvements alongside the DOE’s Better Plants Program, with a goal of reducing energy intensity by 25%. In collaboration with local utilities, we’ve implemented key initiatives such as AI-based compressor sequencing and air leak detection to enhance operational efficiency. These efforts, supported by Better Plants resources, have delivered measurable progress in reducing energy use, while aligning with our broader sustainability objectives.
