So how much do machine and plant
engineering users actually save by
implementing energy efficiency measures?
What savings are achieved by the individual
measures? The team of energy efficiency
consultants at Festo has calculated the
savings for a large number of applications in
fields as diverse as body-in-white, food
production, small parts assembly, electronics
and process automation so that we can give
our customers concrete and reliable figures.
Our customers in the Netherlands
also value our support in the area of
energy efficiency. Our training and consulting
initiatives are helping many users to unlock
the savings potential that lies hidden in
their systems. This is not a phenomenon that
is unique to my Dutch customers, however.
General Managers of other Festo national
companies are noticing a similar trend.

At a time when energy prices are so
high, successful facility management
without giving consideration to energy
efficiency is simply unthinkable. Solar cool-
ing and the consistent use of compressor
waste heat with adsorption chillers, the
use of geothermal cooling and the deploy-
ment of highly efficient components are the
cornerstones of our strategy for making our
buildings energy-efficient. In Esslingen-
Berkheim alone, we are saving enough
energy to supply power to 370 homes.
