"Overall, the IAC Team from UMOC was very useful to us. In addition to the line items identified, having the IAC report gave us a platform to discuss our sustainability projects. As a result, we are now have a vendor coming to cost out upgrading our HVAC system. Our team has also become more aware of energy savings opportunities. For example, one recommendation was to look at the set point of the compressed air system. We learned that we need to put more focus on fixing air leaks (using a program we have in place) thus enabling us to lower the overall set point."

"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.

"I would like to take a moment and express my gratitude to you and your students for completing the energy audit at our manufacturing facility. Your team was polite, professional, knowledgeable, curious, safety-conscious, and resourceful in determining areas of improvement. I appreciate the feedback we received on your very detailed report. We will use it as a guide as we move forward in our efforts to reduce energy waste. I would highly recommend your group to other facilities looking to improve their processes. Your team identified issues we've had for years but have never taken a step back and realized on our own. Thank you again for the audit, detailed report, and recommendations for our facility. Job well done!" "I would like to take a moment and express my gratitude to you and your students for completing the energy audit at our manufacturing facility.

"Jan. 7, 2020: Working with Sanjeev and his students was nothing short of professional and educating. From the first interaction with the students you could tell that there was real interest in the work that they were doing. The areas that they indicated improvements and the estimated cost savings made it really easy to justify the costs of the upgrades. I would highly recommend this group to any company or cooperation looking to modernize and become more efficient with the energy they consume. March 29, 2019: I have printed and briefly went through the review. This is a great amount of work and am excited to thoroughly read through this and look at how we can save money on electrical consumption as well as water. I will provide some feedback/comments after I go through it completely. Thank you very much again for the diligent work you and the students have put into this I greatly appreciate it. Best Regards, Joshua B. Youngblood Asst. Water Quality Superintendent-Wastewater" "Jan. 7, 2020: Working with Sanjeev and his students was nothing short of professional and educating.

"In relation to our audit, we also recommended to the company for a MoIAC student internship to follow up with the implementation of the recommendations. As a result, Austin Laramie, a MoIAC student and at the time also enrolled in Bin Wu’s “Industrial Energy Efficiency and Management (MU IMSE 4580)” class, was employed during the summer by the company: According to the company: “ (the MoIAC student) helped to go through the details of every recommendation on the list. This worked great!” From the student (Sep 25, 2017): "Dr. Wu, The IAC program I was involved in was fantastic experience in a very important area of Industrial Engineering. Learning how to directly identify improvement areas in energy efficiency in a factory was great knowledge that can be used generally wherever my degree takes me in industry. Any time I walk into a new manufacturing facility I can immediately recognize energy that is being wasted or can be more efficiently utilized in the plant. Helping organize reports on the recommendations were also great practical application to showing upper-level management how the energy-savings investment is worth while based on a simple payback period from predicted utility bill savings. Your classes helped me grasp a deeper connection with how all of the units in energy efficiency come together to make calculations a breeze. Before taking your class I was clueless on the difference between a kilowatt and a lumen but now I could present these to a class of my own from all the practical experience and practice. Lastly, I can't thank you enough for helping me connect with Hunter Engineering Company which gave me a paid summer internship experience focusing directly on the subjects we talked about in class and did in IAC. From the start of the summer, I had no problems talking to my boss about lighting, air-conditioning, pneumatic, or other systems that was costing the company thousands of dollars in utility bills per year. I had the chance to represent multiple options for energy-saving improvements to their facility and exactly how much they were projected to save from each opportunity. Overall, the IAC program, your classes, and my internship with Hunter Engineering have all dramatically helped my professional industrial engineering skills to make me a better asset for companies in the future. I cannot thank you enough for your patience and believing in all my potential.

"This is a very comprehensive energy report. Very well stated through careful engineering calculations. I am glad to see that all data used were true and within range. Savings calculated are realistic and initial cost were low. Bottom line is, I like your approach of evaluating what we have and figuring out how to manage the equipment to yield higher throughput in relation to operating cost before any expensive upgrade implementations. (by Khanna: this comment relates to the battery cooling AR #9, I had suggested that they should first conduct an experiment on a small table that mimics their larger scale production) I truly appreciate the effort and hard work of you and your team. I assure you that most of these, if not all, recommendations will be implemented in our facility and perhaps to all JCI plant across NA. Moving forward, my team will develop an action plan to start implementing these recommendations. I will definitely call you if we have some questions. Thanks for the help. Please extent my appreciation to your team. " "This is a very comprehensive energy report. Very well stated through careful engineering calculations.
