Web forum for commercial and industrial facilities to achieve energy savings

The test and measurement manufacturer Fluke Corporation, has established a new web forum — Action Eco — giving electrical and facilities management professionals a place to learn low-cost energy-saving techniques and share their own ideas and experiences.

With the recent carbon pollution reduction scheme announced by the Australian government, Australian companies need to seek as many ways as possible to reduce their greenhouse emissions. Action Eco helps organisations find ways to reduce their carbon footprint while cutting energy costs and increasing operational efficiency.

The forum, www.ActionEco.org, explains the ‘why’ behind energy conservation, provides resources to cut energy use and gives visitors the opportunity to sign up and get involved.

Energy remains a big part of many operating budgets. Every company can find and benefit from energy savings by leveraging assets they already have and tools that are readily available. By taking action and establishing best practices, the average commercial facility can achieve an 18-25% reduction in energy costs.

ActionEco.org provides straightforward information for taking action on energy including:

• top five places to scan commercial buildings;
• best practices for energy savings; and 
• what to expect from an energy audit.
