Try these energy-saving tips when using machinery:
Turn off all machines when not in use.
Adjust temperature, speed, pressure and other variables
to less energy intensive settings if you can.
Run full loads whenever possible.
Maintain all equipment according to the manufacturers'
recommendations.
In the summer, vent heat outside rather than into an air-conditioned
environment; reverse the process in winter, recovering machine-generated heat
for other purposes.
Reduce your peak demand by scheduling energy intensive
activities at different times.
Replace worn out equipment with more energy efficient
models.
Overhaul inefficient equipment if your investment can
be recouped in a reasonable period of time.
Replace inefficient equipment before it wears out if the
cost/payback is favorable.
