“One constant that industrial companies face is that energy costs continue to rise,” said Dave Sommer, business leader for Trane in Indiana. “Additionally, these companies are facing pressure from stakeholders demanding more awareness in regards to environmental issues. By optimizing energy use, a company creates sustainable financial savings while meeting social responsibility.”

All building systems – from compressed air to lighting to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) – are analyzed to develop a strategic plan that outlines the expected savings and payback period, which is achieved much faster than most would expect.

TPCG has launched similar programs for Kraft Foods, CB Richard Ellis and Lexmark.

“We reach the savings faster and at a lower cost,” said Sommer. “Companies can realize year over year savings quicker through the Trane focused approach to energy optimization. While an internal program may take six to eight years to implement, we can generate savings in less than half of that time. And this is with savings up to 20 percent.”

“When companies begin to fully understand what optimization is, the available benefits and cost reductions become clear,” said Rick Herold, director of optimization and sustainability for TPCG. “The opportunities for companies to create savings today and for years to come are tremendous.”
