Importance of energy management in foundries

Pollution prevention is preferable to reliance on end-of-pipe pollution control. Since we look at the environment in the global sense, it is irrelevant that the emissions reductions occur at the electrical generating station rather than at the site of the efficiency improvements. In foundries as a part of an energy intensive industry, energy accounting is necessary to determine where and how energy is being consumed and how efficient is the energy management system. The main aim of energy management should define the areas of high energy use, energy waste and should point out areas in which energy saving can be accomplished. Energy management is very important as it deals with adjusting and optimizing energy, using systems and procedures so as to reduce energy requirements.
