As your facility grows, power efficiency should scale accordingly. Here's how to keep energy costs down:
- Conduct an energy audit. Identify where you're using the most power and where you can save.
- Invest in energy-efficient equipment. Upgrading machinery can reduce long-term energy consumption.
- Implement smart systems. Use technology to monitor and adjust usage for peak efficiency.

Energy audits are crucial for establishing a baseline to track the evolution of expansion and ensuring that optimal power efficiency is maintained throughout the process. By regularly comparing energy consumption trends, audits help prevent overconsumption during expansion. Consistent monitoring and measurement of power usage are critical to identify whether increases in energy consumption are a direct result of the expansion itself or due to inefficiencies within the system. This proactive approach ensures that growth does not come at the cost of efficiency.
