Step 5: Make decision on energy saving projects proposals (management team)
There are five principles on deciding the energy saving project:
• Foreseeing the energy saving amount and equipment effectiveness;
• Investment amount and ROI (normally less than 3 years), decrease of CO2 emission;
• The maturity of technology with its service support
• The affect to product quality and process safety
• The affect to current production (shutdown time to make improvements)
