Renewable Rides Top Moment from The Immense Savings Potential of Energy Efficiency with Josh Bachman of Cascade Energy
In this highlight episode, Josh Bachman of Cascade Energy breaks down why energy efficiency isn’t just a sustainability or decarbonization conversation—it’s a serious financial opportunity that most organizations are overlooking. You’ll learn how energy waste shows up inside industrial and commercial operations, why leadership often underestimates its impact, and how small operational changes can deliver meaningful, measurable results.
Listen in as we explore low- and no-cost operational improvements, the power of variable frequency drives (VFDs), and why energy efficiency must be treated as an ongoing program, not a one-off project.
