		<description><![CDATA[Compressed air systems are notoriously inefficient. However, there are proven ways to improve their energy usage, which include tracking down leaks and installing new energy-efficient equipment. (See “Opportunities to improve efficiency in compressed air systems.”) According to the U.S. Department of Energy, small- to medium-sized industrial facilities can improve compressed air system efficiency by 15 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Package and split rooftop air conditioning systems are the workhorses of the heating, venting, and air conditioning world. These heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and cooling (HVAC) units are smaller and relatively less costly than large chiller plants, so building owners tend to ignore them, but poor maintenance comes at a price.   Systems that are not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Power factor correction is nothing new. Electric utility companies have been correcting poor system power factor with capacitors for many decades. The devices marketed to facility owners to improve power factor are not mysterious, although the way they are advertised can make them seem that way. There are several types of power factor correction equipment [...]]]></description>
