Most business owners will know about solar panels, LED lights and EVs, the most common and most discussed ‘clean’ technologies.
The world of clean tech goes far beyond the headline grabbers though, and it is constantly evolving and developing. Admittedly, a lot of it is mundane, a bit nerdy and unglamorous, but to dismiss it would be to miss out on potentially significant energy cost savings.
Technologies designed to reduce the power consumption of motors and compressors, to better control the indoor environment, to reduce heat loss and to better control processes all offer opportunities to reduce energy and carbon, but unless you follow the world of clean technology, you’re unlikely to know about them.
This kind of tech is our bread and butter. Our feeds are full of it, and our personal contacts are its developers. We make a point of keeping up with all the technology developments in this field.
So, as a business owner, ask yourself if you feel fully up to speed with all the opportunities to reduce your energy costs.
