What's at Stake. Overcoming Barriers. Developing an Energy Strategy. How Does the Money Work? Lessons & Outcomes. Appendices. Index.Written in accessible, understandable prose, this book explains the connection between energy and business performance. It delineates how day-to-day choices relate to the risks and rewards of energy use. Concise, to-the-point chapters explain how energy is invested, preserved, and ultimately positioned to create wealth. Hard-nosed business leaders should appreciate the section with examples that show a strong financial case for energy improvements, including the save-or-buy criterion, the economic penalty for "doing nothing," the break-even cost, and the budget for supporting design and analysis work.Managing Energy from the Top Down IndustriesEnergy conservationIndustriesEnergy conservation.658.26Russell Christopher52194NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910826771703321Managing Energy from the Top Down3933547UNINA
