An energy consultant can help you to better understand your business energy data and assist you in making changes to reduce your energy usage. Use waste heat from air compressors Air compressors are not very efficient and can produce a lot of excess heat. This heat can be used to heat areas of your body shop premises. Air compressors should also be regularly checked for leaks and turned off at the end of each day. Lighting Changes to your lighting can save a lot of energy. Replacing old light bulbs with newer and more efficient bulbs will result in energy saving. You can also turn lights off when not in use or fit motion sensor lighting. Paint booths More modern paint booths are a lot more efficient than older models but sometimes it is not cost-effective to upgrade equipment. Instead you could upgrade your paint booths with heat recovery systems or newer electronic controls and intelligent heating controls.
