ABSTRACT
Energy centered maintenance model focus on identifying any operational deficiencies or energy waste, therefore the corrective action may include specific repairs or replacements, therefore the cost effectiveness of the repair need to be determined prior conducting the corrective action. Improving equipment efficiency requires proactive involvement in finding the root cause of a deficiency or energy waste and then instituting corrective action for improvements. Corrective/preventive action is an action taken to repair, improve or restore an equipment failure or performance and to prevent it from reoccurrence. Maintenance engineers and energy managers are responsible for verifying that appropriate and effective corrective actions have been taken in a cost effective manner. Energy conservation is a basic unit of Energy Centered Maintenance. It is cost effective in that it does not include high labor costs and materials. Most conservation actions are relatively inexpensive or would already be purchased if an energy conservation program were implemented.
