What are organisations already doing today to advance efficiency ? Any best practices ? As a whole , the industry is increasingly taking advantage of energy efficiency programs . The same recent Sustainable Energy in America Factbook suggests that such program spending has nearly tripled since 2007 . This is significant growth , and organisations are increasingly making efficiency a priority and a commitment . For example , the U . S . Department of
Energy ’ s Better Plants Program , a program that provides resources for industrial manufacturers to improve energy efficiency , asks participants to set a goal – typically to reduce energy intensity 25 percent over a 10-year period across all their U . S . operations . Because of these commitments , Better Plants partners – nearly 180 industrial companies , including Ingersoll Rand – have saved more than $ 2 billion in energy costs and avoided more than 500 trillion British thermal units ( TBtu ).
