"Dear Dr. Khanna, Your recommendations were greatly appreciated. 1. While not all are completed, most them have at least been initiated. 2. Reasons we haven’t accomplished more on your recommendations: a. We’ve grown our sales an average of 15% each of the last few years and have a plan for 35% growth in 2022. So we have a lot of priorities right now. b. We’ve navigated a pandemic that has had tremendous impact on nearly every aspect of our business. Market shifts, supply chain disruptions, rapidly changing costs…to name a few. Once again, thank you for your help and advice. Regards, Carl" "Dear Dr. Khanna, Your recommendations were greatly appreciated. 1. While not all are completed, most them have at least been initiated. 2.

"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 Sanjeev! I have been going through the report. It is very comprehensive! The audit team from University of Missouri Columbia did a fantastic job of learning our operation and identifying some key projects for our facility to become more sustainable. The knowledge they bring is invaluable. Although some of the projects identified have not been completed to date, they are still being investigated for costs versus budget available to implement. I really enjoyed working with them and would recommend their services to anyone interested in sustainability and reducing your carbon footprint." "Thank you Sanjeev!

"Thank you and your professional students for the collaborative time auditing and understanding our facility which provided excellent assessment recommendations in which to reduce operating cost and the subsequent CO2 emissions. I would be interested in a follow up that shows expected annual savings from what we have done or expect to complete by year end."

"The audit process is valuable to help understand the highest areas of benefit and to allow us to get a outside perspective on the projects we should focus on. We have been able to start projects earlier by having the energy savings to justify the projects.

"The report looks great! Very detailed and payback calculations make it easy for our team to prioritize. We are planning to discuss it tomorrow in our weekly management meeting and come up with an action plan to start getting some of the improvements underway. I will let you know how things progress. It has been a real pleasure working with you and your team. " "The report looks great! Very detailed and payback calculations make it easy for our team to prioritize.

"Hi Dr. Wu, Thank you for putting this together. We appreciate the time you and your team spent on this. We will review and get back to you with any questions and I will see if I can involve any other sites. Thanks again," Also feedback from one of the MoIAC student team member (Jeff Hoiday): "... I first want to thank you for introducing me into the world of energy efficiency and sustainable energy. The opportunity that you (IAC) provided was one that would change my outlook on the ever bearing question of what I want to do when I graduate. You opened the door for me to finally answer that question." "Hi Dr. Wu, Thank you for putting this together. We appreciate the time you and your team spent on this.

""Hello Bin - My Maintenance team upgraded the building BMS controls in 2014. In Oct 2014, we tested & Nov refined the control. The results. In a same time comparison, the site used 814,229 kWh less Jan - May 2013 & 423,564 kWh less than Jan - May 2014. We implemented 1-3. 4 & 5 were not done." Update from the company's Sustainability Manager, On Dec 16 2015 Mr. Jeffery Whitford wrote: "I just wanted to reach out to let you know that we're in the very early stages of a major energy efficiency investment. Our business went through a major transition over the past few months as we were acquired by XXXX, Germany. There is an even greater focus on environmental sustainability and investment in energy efficiency. I expect that with this change we will be working on implementing the things you outlined in the coming year or two since we're looking a 3 year program that is probably in the range of a $5 - $15 M investment (coop - wide).
