BEYOND ENERGY: $0.00 IS ALSO WRONG.
SHOWING ALL THE VALUE FROM MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. Let’s start with a familiar picture when calculating cost savings in a building. Certain categories of maintenance issues or completed work show $0 avoidable cost associated or $0 dollars saved, despite clearly having an impact on energy savings or extension of equipment life. We’re looking at you, “Fan…
