This book is a handbook for the practicing engineer or highly qualified technician working in the area of energy management. The Energy Management Handbook is designed to be a practical and "stand-alone" reference. Attempts have been made to include all data and information necessary for the successful conducting and management of energy management programs. It does not, of course, contain sufficient technical or theoretical development to answer all questions on any subject, but it does provide you, the reader, with enough information to successfully accomplish most energy management activities. Industry is responding. This is demonstrated vividly by the fact that energy to GNP ratio declined an average of 2.8% per year in the period 1973-1977. We have to ask ourselves, however, if this much has been done thus far, how much more can we do with more effort? Large savings are possible. Most companies find that 5 to 15% comes easily. A dedicated program often yields 30%, and some companies have reached 40, 50, and even 60% savings. The potential for substantial cost reduction is real.
