Little Silver Bullets

Abstract

Energy conservation has lost much of its glamor of five years ago as many large projects and high-profile efforts have yielded important results. Panic-driven priority has been replaced by persistent needs of day-to-day activities. We are all becoming aware of the collective importance of the many "little things" to improve energy efficiency that have been missed or ignored in the past. We at the Energy Training Division have seen many of these little things during our energy surveys of various facilities and, in the spirit of the Lone Ranger, leave these silver bullets behind for your use. The observations discussed are the product of common sense, experience, and new perspectives in identifying opportunities.
