Free Software Will Help Industry Understand the Full Value of Energy Projects

Energy productivity—the measure of how much economic value is generated for every unit of energy used—can be underestimated when multiple benefits are overlooked.

Multiple benefits are the operational and strategic improvements—such as productivity gains, quality enhancements, safety improvements, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs—that occur alongside energy cost savings in an energy productivity project. Overlooking these types of multiple benefits can leave money on the table and businesses with an incomplete view of all potential cost-saving project outcomes.
