Description
In this handbook, Dr Studebaker brings you up to speed on how you can reduce utility costs as deregulation provides new alternatives and strategic cost reduction opportunities. You should gain a greater understanding of usage and billing practices which influence your utility costs, as well as how the advent of retail wheeling will impact your decisions. Material on the purchasing of natural gas from non-utility sources has been updated to address current negotiation priorities and contractural considerations. The chapters on cogeneration have also been revised to reflect the current market, including use of shared savings arrangements as well as turnkey approaches. Useful information on ways to save on your water and sewer costs is also presented.
