what are some tips for conserving energy in a manufacturing facility that won't impede production

Flourescent lights (with motion sensors in the areas that are not high traffic). Solar panel roofs (the company I work for did this for a manufacturing facility in nevada last year). Increase the temperature at which the AC or heat (decrease the temp) kicks on. Shut down equipment to standby levels when not in use and does not impede production. change manufacturing methods for things such as painting to ones which use less energy. put shades on windows. use fans instead of AC.
I am sure that I will think of others later, but this is what I have off the tope of my head.

To conserve energy in a manufacturing facility, the most possible amount of systems should be shut down. Try to limit the amount of unneeded computers or equipment in the facility.

Keep track of man hours and only run the machines that you need. Check that any filters or tubing are not blocked and are clean - filters that are clogged take more energy to suck air through because the pressure is greater to create the vacuum. In admin offices, make sure that all lights and equipment are turned off when not used, not on standby. That includes computers.
