“…In particular, there was a reduction in the amount of required process chemicals and the need for corrosion inhibitors and corrosion damage, implying additional annual cost savings of USD 50,000, USD 12,000, and USD 20,000, respectively. The company also reported further (non-energy-related) benefits, such as lower labor cost, less down time, lower negative environmental impacts, and enhanced working environment [31].…”

“…In the literature, there are several studies investigating the barriers of implementing energy efficiency measures in SMEs [10,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23], as well as the benefits resulting from the application of energy management techniques [24][25][26][27][28]. Additionally, some studies present projects promoting energy efficiency in SMEs [11,14], while a few others propose specific measures to improve their energy efficiency [29][30][31]. The present study explores the concept of energy footprint in SMEs in a comprehensive way towards continuous energy efficiency improvement.…”

Energy efficiency is a key factor to meet the ambitious climate targets of the European Union (EU) aligned with the international policy directives. On their own, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) do not consume big amounts of energy, but taking into consideration that they represent about 99% of businesses worldwide, their cumulative energy consumption is remarkable. Even though SMEs experience several barriers in their effort to improve their energy efficiency, their contribution to the EU’s energy efficiency improvement targets is crucial through the implementation of measures to improve their energy footprint. The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of SMEs’ energy efficiency and energy footprint management, which has been carried out in the context of the “SMEnergy—Energy Footprint Management for SMEs” EU-funded Erasmus+ project. The correlation between energy conversion and consumption processes and energy efficiency, as well as the current situation of energy footprint management and energy management systems in SMEs, are discussed in detail. Moreover, successful case studies of SMEs that have implemented specific measures to improve their energy footprint and achieve energy efficiency targets are also included. It is highlighted that SMEs exhibit a high potential for energy efficiency enhancement that could directly promote climate change mitigation and sustainable development.

“…As per the act's schedule, the designated consumer has to carry out an energy audit conducted by an accredited energy auditor. An Effective energy management implementation guidelines [4][5] and standard of procedures (SOP) [6][7] in manufacturing and process industries [8], energy wastage identification and implementation of suitable energy waste reduction are essential [9]. Based on the directives of the energy conservation, the energy-intensive industries like chemical/petrochemical [10][11], cement [12], paper [13], iron and steel [14][15] industries, and textile plants in Germany [16], Colombia [17], Sri Lanka [18] and Pakistan [19] have initiated the energy conservation technologies.…”

The work presented here as per energy audit conducted in a textile spinning mill in western Tamilnadu.The authoers,expressed their gratitude to the texitile mill authorities for them moral supports ABSTRACTThe growing Indian economy calls for the urgent need to review the ways and means to conserve energy consumed by the industrial sector. As a part of fulfilling the objective, the Government of India has made it mandatory to conduct periodic energy audits in the bulk industrial sector to be followed up with a practical implementation of energy conservation (ECON) measures as suggested by the energy audit team. This paper presents the energy audit conducted in a medium-size textile mill in western Tamil Nadu of India. The energy audit has been conducted, and an exhaustive study of the energy consumption pattern of the mill has been carried out using tools like power quality analyzer, thermal leak detectors, air leakage detectors, and luminance meter. The qualitative data measured has been studied, and suitable sitespecific and problem-specific methods, suggestions, and recommendations have been examined to yield substantial energy savings. The implementation of energy efficiency technologies and energy saving (ES) methods like effective use of the existing machinery, installing application-specific machinery, reduction/ avoiding energy wastage was also carried out. The conducted energy audit on the chosen textile leads to the reduction of energy consumption by almost 21 % per day. It saved company utility energy by nearly 13.59 %. This paper examines the recommendations and the subsequent energy efficiency implementations about specifically (i) energy demand management, (ii) equipment healthiness, and (iii) identification of energy wasted. The energy-saving outcome is elaborated with cost-effective planning and execution.
