Energy Efficiency Investments: The Case for Compressed Air Systems and ISO 50001
Key Definitions
Cost Effectiveness = Investment (€) / Yearly energy savings (toe)
- Lower values indicate better investment efficiency
- Measures the investment required to save one toe (tonne of oil equivalent) per year
NACE = Nomenclature of Economic Activities (European industrial classification system)
- Standardized system for categorizing economic activities across EU
- Enables comparison of energy efficiency measures across similar industrial sectors
Why Compressed Air Systems Are Universal Winners
Across virtually all industrial sectors analyzed, compressed air optimization consistently emerges as one of the most attractive energy efficiency investments.
