April 21, 2008—A new, business-oriented text describes the risks and rewards of modern industrial energy use. Published by Energy Pathfinder, The Industrial Energy Harvest is the culmination of a ten-year study of the energy management challenges encountered by manufacturing facilities. Written for non-technical business and policy leaders, this book provides unprecedented insight on the financial and organizational aspects of energy cost control, according to the publisher.
“For years, the energy efficiency message has been driven by engineers and policy professionals,” says the book’s author, Christopher Russell. “Missing from this dialogue has been a hard-nosed business case for making energy improvements. The Industrial Energy Harvest may be the first book written especially for industry’s top managerspeople who are focused on business performance.”
Short, punchy chapters examine the benefits, hurdles, and strategies for energy cost control. Readers will be able to understand what it takes to create an energy-smart organization.
At the heart of The Industrial Energy Harvest is the message that energy is wealth. This encourages business leaders to manage fuels and electricity with techniques similar to those used for handling cash or currency. As a corporate strategy, energy management allows energy to be invested, preserved, and ultimately positioned to create wealth.
The Industrial Energy Harvest is available for purchase online. For more information, see the Energy Pathfinder Web site.
