The maintenance department has the power to control a surprisingly large amount of site energy waste. Active, enthusiastic management of anti waste programs like steam trap testing, repair, and replacement, steam leak repair, and insulation maintenance have a huge impact. Chapters 9–16 contain a number of energy-critical maintenance suggestions. Maintenance groups are often given a fixed annual budget, and unexpected repairs can whittle away at the discretionary portion of the budget. Waste minimization programs are often the first choice for“saving” maintenance funds. It is important to ensure both that the maintenance group understands the value these programs provide and that the group gets credit for their savings.Often the maintenance group sees no consequence for cutting these programs and no credit for saving them. The energy manager can provide both. Chapters 13 and 14 discuss steam traps and leaks in more detail.
