Advantis Technologies is a manufacturing company with approximately 100 employees. The company was seeking assistance to round out an extensive operations & maintenance (O&M) program and looked to The Clean Air Campaign for ideas.

With the help of The Clean Air Campaign, the company’s O&M program now includes a variety of energy efficiency methods, including:

• adjusted production schedules to use high-powered equipment only in the early morning
• switching to lower wattage lighting
• reducing the actual number of lights in offices
• programming air conditioners not to run during non-work hours

During the program’s first year, the company reduced its power consumption by 110,000-kilowatt hours over the year prior, resulting in significant cost savings.
