How can standards help reduce your energy costs?

Author: Victor Lough, Product Manager, Asset Management

In my February 25^th blog posting, Avantis discussed the emerging ISO 55000 standard and how this would drive change in the way of doing business. We did suggest that adaption would be the preferred policy with a view that this would drive bottom line performance, in line with previous quality initiatives.

My attention was therefore drawn to a recent blog on behalf of Frost & Sullivan, London – 6 March, 2014: Water and Wastewater Industry’s drive to optimise energy usage and reduce costs sustains European Smart Pumps Market (http://www.industrialautomation.frost.com). It pointed to a Euro 2020 directive for a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels, which would point to external stakeholders driving change.
