Dear readers,
Welcome
to the September Energy Management e-newsletter. I've just returned
from Energy Excellence 2008 (ENEX08), which took place at Stage West in
Mississauga. We had a packed program, and a packed house for this
inaugural event focused on energy efficiency in manufacturing. If you
weren't able to make it this year, watch for coverage of the event in
the next issue of Energy Management, and announcements about ENEX09
soon!
If you have any comments or questions about
what you see in the magazine or in this e-newsletter, please don't
hesitate to contact me at rcolman@clbmedia.ca.
Regards,
Robert Colman Editor / Associate Publisher

U.S. industrial energy use poised for efficiency upgrade: report
Economic

new report by the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy
(ACEEE), Trends in Industrial Investment Decision Making, suggests that
these pending investments represent a shift in the U.S. — an
