"Keith, I really appreciate your support and plant assessment. As I mentioned, I’ll be taking few days off this week, I’ll be responding emails on my return. Once again thanks to you and your team for the support. I’m so excited to implement some recommendations and start seeing the savings."

"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)."

"Ralph,
I want to thank you and your team for coming on site and performing this assessment for us. The attached report is excellent, and we will be meeting on this in the very near future.
This comes at a good time as our business has slowed down recently and along with that cost’s reductions are necessary to reduce the pains. We will use this report as a tool to push the executive team to allocate funds into the plant so that we can continue our path forward of reducing our energy consumption and overall cost of operation.
The team here will be reviewing this with great detail and will absolutely reach out for any questions or concerns.
Again, thank you all very much, your efforts are greatly appreciated!"

"On behalf of -, I am writing to thank you for putting us in touch with Prof. Keith Goossen and his exceptional team. The energy assessment report and the recommendations have helped us better understand our system. It also enabled us to work on projects that have a direct impact on our energy consumption, hence helping us lower our energy bills. I am pleased to inform you that we have recently accepted a state grant to improve for our chiller/piping system. This would not have been possible without the excellent work done by the University of Delaware Mid-Atlantic Industrial Assessment Center."
