"Hi Dr. Sanjeev, Thank you for the work you and your team performed for Melton Machine & Control Company (MMCC). The assessment report for our facility was very comprehensive and outlined very specific and practical ways to save energy. Our personnel that worked with you and your team learned a lot from the process and the assessment report. Subsequent from your visit, MMCC made the decision to build a new facility and relocate. This was a large undertaking and was recently completed this year. Many the recommendations in the assessment were incorporated into the design of the new building. Some of the recommendations implemented include: a) Using a venturi nozzle instead of a compressed air nozzle in our paint booth operation, b) using occupancy sensors in all areas of the building, c) installation of a high efficiency variable air volume (VAV) HVAC system, d) incorporating the ability to redirect outside air for compressor air intake, e) the use of cog belts on motors vs. smooth v-belts, and f) increasing the A/C temperature setpoint in the manufacturing area above 72 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, we have also been able to incorporate some of your recommendations at our 851 Vossbrink facility as well. Specifically the installation of occupancy sensors in low use areas and the replacement of smooth v-belts with cog belts. We are currently considering replacing our older HVAC units with newer models. Thanks again for performing the audit of our facility and developing the assessment report."

"Thank you so very much - this is an eye opener in many areas and I'm sure we will be able to use many of the recommendations going forward. We appreciate your willingness to do this for our company." Also, the following was sent by a IAC student (on 10/6/2015) team member who was involved in this and the other audits: "I just submitted my application for the IAC certificate request form, and I can not thank you enough for all that you have done for our IAC family the past few years. .. (the) energy efficiency class and being a part of the IAC team have truly been the most rewarding experiences of my college career. As I prepare to graduate in December, I look forward to taking everything ... about energy efficiency and apply it to the real world and be able to make a real impact wherever I end up. Being part of your team has been an amazing experience and more valuable than I can put into words. Thank you again for getting me involved with such a great opportunity. Nick Cain"

"Sanjeev, This audit is very well done. Not only does it provide Dean Foods with sustainability projects and the savings calculations use for project justification, it also provided your students with real world hands-on experience. I support the O’Fallon plant from a corporate engineering function, so when Randy presented your idea to perform the audit I thought it was a great fit with our sustainability objectives. Dean Foods, like many organizations today, is being asked to dig deeper for sustainability and cost savings projects, so this audit will allow us to fill the pipeline. Randy and I will get together to look over the projects and discuss possible timelines for completion. Thanks again for teams work. "

"Thank you for you and your students’ work on this report. We have a few new leadership roles at White River that are keen on reducing energy consumption at the plant and supporting creative solutions. Even if we did not complete the entire recommendation list this year, we will definitely reference the report in years to come."

"Working with Sanjeev’s team was a delight. They were knowledgeable, professional and asked great questions to understand our process completely before generating a report with suggestions. The report highlighted some improvement areas that we had not thought of yet which was fantastic. Thank you very much for your time to help us continuously improve our energy reduction plans."
