The compressor factory in Flensburg introduced energy savings several years ago through the optimisation of the lighting and compressed air supply in the production areas, among other things. A recently prepared analysis shows that a potential exists for annual energy savings of around 580,000 euros. A wide range of ideas for how to obtain savings have emerged from the creative workshops which the employees took part in. All areas record the consumption and set targets for electricity and heat savings. In addition, central measures have been initiated to regulate and optimise the supply of heat, light, compressed air and cold water in the premises.
By the end of 2008, the effects of the first savings will become apparent.
