What is the secret to Blount International's energy efficiency success? Blount is a global manufacturer of sawchains and equipment for the forestry, garden and construction industries. Working in Energy Trust of Oregon's Industrial Efficiency Improvement (IEI) program led to an estimated $227,805 per year in electricity costs, coupled with significant increases in production levels. Additionally, IEI taught Blount's energy management team how to analyze their energy bills and understand exactly where and when they use energy on a cost per unit of output basis – empowering internal 'champions' for ongoing energy improvement projects.
