The operation and management of a compressed air system takes the efforts and talents of many people. A decision to work towards energy savings will require all of these individuals to be part of the process. However, they cannot be effective if they don't understand the cost of compressed air and the interdependency of the components of an air system. The companies that have trained their people on the importance of saving energy have reaped the biggest savings. This type of training has a very fast payback. The energy savings will go directly to the bottom line and can make a difference in the profitability of any company.
