Application of the recommendations made in this handbook can result in a 20 to 30% reduction in costs for energy in the dairy industry. The recommendations include some that cost nothing to implement, most which involve only small investments for profitable returns, and a few that involve a large investment, but with reasonable payback periods. Energy-use patterns at various dairies were analyzed and actual energy audits were performed to determine energy cost reductions. From these audits, energy cost reduction recommendations were developed based on: short payback periods, wide range of applicability, and ease of implementation. Implementation costs, payback period, and first- and ten-year savings are discussed in detail for 27 energy conservation measures. (MCW)
