EnerTHERM - a joint effort for energy and cost efficient heat treatments
Abstract
Energy efficiency is the key parameter controlling the worldwide efforts to reduce CO2 emissions. More and more companies become aware of the benefits of energy management systems which are defined in DIN EN ISO 50001. Recording energy flow within production and implementing measures for a systematic reduction of energy consumption usually pays off within few years. Additionally political incentive schemes for improving energy efficiency can be used like the exemption from the cost allocations under the German Renewable Energies Act (EEGUmlage).
