Case Studies:

GAST Manufacturing, Inc. specializes in offering cost effective air-moving solutions for a wide variety of industries, including healthcare, environmental cleanup applications and industrial manufacturing. To help save on overall energy costs, GAST met with Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) to discuss their energy efficiency opportunities. Through conversation, I&M recommended a Find & Fix compressed air leak study and repair. This two-step study first identifies where air leaks are present, then repairs them to minimize energy waste.

Working with one of our participating trade allies, the study identified over 190 leaks, of which more than 75% were able to be immediately repaired. The result, over 779,000 kWh saved annually by repairing the compressed air leaks. That’s over $93,500 saved each year!  Learn more.

Global manufacturing leader JVIS and their sister company, Nova, met with Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) to discuss their energy efficiency opportunities after working with the state of Michigan on similar energy waste reduction initiatives. Upon learning that similar rebates were available through I&M, they implemented multiple energy-saving upgrades, including barrel insulation for injection molding projects. JVIS worked closely with a trade ally to measure their machines. Within a month, custom barrel insulation wraps were installed and saving JVIS energy and money.

The barrel insulation is estimated to reduce the facility’s annual energy by over 2,070,000 kWh, saving JVIS and Nova over $225,000 per year. Since completing the project, JVIS and Nova are planning to partner with I&M to make other energy-efficient upgrades. Learn more
