Free Energy Audits

The cost of energy is one of the largest burdens on the cast metals industry and has increased by 50 – 60 % in the last 2 years. With demand increasing, and supply diminishing, the long term price is likely to become even higher. It is extremely important that companies are in full control of their energy consumption.

An Energy audit is the start of Energy Management and your company can have one carried out free of charge from Cti via the Carbon Trust.

Cti Energy Consultants have spent many years in the foundry industry and have up to date Best Practice benchmarks for energy consumption of every process. They can can show you how near your company is to achieving these optimum levels and what you can do to improve.

Cti can also show you how to set up the required methods of measuring, monitoring reporting and actioning activities in energy reduction programmes.
