• Procurement of energy smart assets webinar

  Procurement decisions affect long term costs. Equipment that has a low upfront cost is often not the cheapest when you consider the lifetime costs of running the equipment. For example, energy accounts for an average of 77 per cent of lifetime costs of compressed air systems, compared to 10 per cent purchase cost for the equipment itself. This webinar will help you to buy the most cost-effective energy efficient assets for your business.
