The paper describes energy use in a particular heavy engineering workshop and investigates the consequences of possible improvements to lighting, to the thermal performance of the building and to the means of distribution of power. Comparisons are made with previous work done on other factories engaged in engineering. A method of describing the economic potential of energy conservation as an element of energy strategy is proposed.
