"Thank you for this data and analysis. We will work with refrigeration/HVAC vendor to make adjustments where feasible. Another positive takeaway from this is that I think we found the “wrench in the cogs” for the older outdoor office unit (the one with the cardboard covering the fins)."

"I did want to let you know how appreciative we are for your work on our behalf. As you might expect our energy usage is significant and any savings we get from the study will be put right back into the company’s manufacturing process as investment. The exercise is not only a learning tool for your students but also for us. It provides another set of eyes on our energy use. It will allow us to focus on waste and the opportunities presented to save energy as directed. All very positive in my view.
Anyway we wish to thank you, Keith(and his team) and The University of Delaware for this audit. We believe the result will be not only savings but ideas for future energy use.I hope you view this as I do-a very worthwhile exercise on energy consumption. Now implementing the recommendations is our part of the bargain!"
