An energy-efficient factory is a production site designed to minimize energy consumption while maintaining high productivity. The aim is to optimize energy use, reduce emissions, and ensure long-term sustainability through technical, organizational, and digital measures.
Key areas of action include energy-efficient machinery and equipment design, smart building and utility systems, load management, the use of renewable energies, and advanced monitoring and control systems. The energy-efficient factory is closely linked to concepts such as the green factory, carbon-neutral production, and Industry 4.0 technologies.
