How are businesses dealing with the energy crisis?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The general feeling, in the first months of the energy crisis, was that the cost\u00a0 increase would dissolve in a short time. Instead, it did not happen. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>Ongoing high prices had an impact on the evaluation of strategic actions that include long-term cost and benefit analysis.\u00a0 In the same time it expedited energy efficiency investments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The need to promote energy efficiency and to achieve the related economic savings is increasingly urgent, given that energy is becoming more and more precious and less and less accessible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Indeed, even the less energy-intensive companies, when preparing their strategic plans, are starting again from the energy audits, in order to understand their current state.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first step is to start a process of continuous improvement aimed at reducing the incidence of energy costs on the product\u2019s total costs.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Therefore the energy audit report today must be more accurate than ever<\/strong> and should lead to tangible improvements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first steps\u00a0 adopted to control energy cost involves “zero cost” management measures.\u00a0 Starting to question established habits in order to cut waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, after this first step, it is necessary to broaden the horizon<\/strong> as much as possible by going beyond the classic proposals<\/strong> (for example replacing machines with more efficient ones), in order to save energy through more substantial changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why faster action on energy efficiency is needed<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The current challenges regarding energy security and\u00a0 energy prices remind us that energy efficiency is more indispensable than ever.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The cleanest, cheapest, most reliable source of energy is what companies can avoid using, while still providing full comfort for their employees and assure the same quality of products.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This avoided energy demand results from a wide range of measures<\/strong>, reflecting the diverse nature of efficiency-related technologies and actions<\/strong> across all sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Elements of avoided energy demand include:<\/span><\/p>\n
