With summer in full swing, facility managers face the dual challenge of maintaining operations while controlling energy costs amidst rising temperatures. Peak energy demand during the hottest months can strain both operational budgets and the power grid. However, this period also presents an opportunity to implement strategic energy management solutions that can lead to significant cost savings and sustainability benefits. To ensure resilience and maximize preparedness as well as savings, facility managers should evaluate their energy strategies and explore comprehensive solutions to meet their needs. Demand response and energy efficiency can support facility managers looking to mitigate the impact of peak demand periods while also enhancing overall facility performance.

Concrete manufacturing is responsible for roughly 7% of all heat-trapping carbon pollution every year. But one European construction firm is now using a proprietary type of "green concrete" made from recycled materials to create an approach that could bring the industry's pollution levels way down, the Stanford Social Innovation Review reported.

Construction giant makes 'green concrete' breakthrough in recycling old building materials: 'The greatest hurdle is getting everybody on board'

(Dürr: Southfield, MI) -- Paint shops must become “greener” to help vehicle manufacturers feel certain about meeting their ambitious climate targets. Assessing a technology’s sustainability is a complex task. In a comprehensive life cycle analysis, the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP) studied the carbon footprint of two different paint shop concepts. The result: Dürr’s paint shop with the EcoQPower system, which networks all energy flows to supply all process steps, reduces carbon emissions by 19.2% over its entire life cycle compared to paint shops without this system. This is mainly due to an energy consumption reduction of about 21% during the utilization phase, making it the first paint shop to comply with EU taxonomy requirements.
