Compressed Air Best Practices - October 2008 - (Page 8) | 10/08 Compressed Air Industry AUTOMOTIVE TRANSIT | U T I L I T Y- A I R N E W S Aerzen Announces Green Work Schedule Aerzen announced a new flexible work schedule that allows employees to commute less and gain more family time. This comes on the coat tails of the inauguration of Aerzen USA’s new Green building in April. “The new schedule reflects our commitment to the triple bottom line approach to business,” states Jean McAllister, HR Director at Aerzen USA. She is referring to Aerzen’s business philosophy of “people, planet and profits.” “We have looked at how the work schedule affects our employees (life/work balance), the environment (less commuting = less pollution) and the finances (cost of gas). Most of the office and production employees are participating in some form of the flexible schedule to contribute to our business approach. The production personnel have had a successful flexible schedule for over a year now,” continues McAllister. Gas prices have brought this type of program to the forefront in the news and many companies are rolling out similar programs. The program includes the majority of the office and production personnel and allows them to choose the days that they would work a 10-hour day. This means that they have an extra day off during the week. The Green aspect comes into play because it eliminates two car trips during the week. “I am very excited to see this program come to life,” said Hugh Sinn, project manager for Aerzen USA. “We are very environmentally conscious and now I can directly benefit by having more time for myself and less of a carbon impact on the world. I chose to work 10-hour days Monday through Thursday. Then I am off on Friday as well as the weekend.” Motorized Ball Valves THE CONDENSATE MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS JORC offers a product range that covers ALL condensate requirements.

Nazarene Publishing House Enrolls in KCP&L’s MPower Program Nazarene Publishing House (NPH) announced the enrollment of its campus in KCP&L’s demand response program, MPower. Nazarene Publishing House, located in Kansas City, MO, has agreed to participate in MPower in order to earn extra revenue for reducing its energy usage just a few times a year. MPower, which is offered to KCP&L’s business customers exclusively through its sole, authorized agent, Energy Curtailment Specialists, Inc., is designed to incent businesses that reduce energy usage on the hottest days of the summer. As an MPower participant, NPH will receive an annual payment from KCP&L in exchange for a reduction in its electricity usage. This program allows KCP&L to manage energy costs and peak summer demand, and defers the need to build another peaking power plant. “MPower allowed us to review our energy efficiency measures within our campus and save on utility costs,” said Pauline Walkenhorst, Magnetic Zero Air Loss Drains Electronic Zero Air Loss Drains Contact us today: JORC Industrial LLC. 1146 River Road • New Castle, DE 19720 Phone: 302-395-0310 • Fax: 302-395-0312 E-mail: info@jorc.com See our new online catalog at www.jorc.com Timer Drains Compressed Air Leak Detector Oil Water Separators 8 www.airbestpractices.com http://www.jorc.com http://www.jorc.com http://www.airbestpractices.com
