Improving Energy Efficiency at Chicago Faucets Chicago Faucets is committed to minimize energy use from all of our facilities worldwide. Over the past five years, we’ve invested in more energy efficient products and employed more eco-friendly manufacturing practices. Reducing energy is not only better for the environment, it also helps us control our costs.
Electricity Usage
Every year, Chicago Faucets conducts energy audits at each of our facilities to measure our improvements and uncover additional areas for energy reduction. Our audits have helped identify the energy usage of
10.11 GWh
operating equipment, air compressor systems, and HVAC systems, and revealed the various ways that our demand for operating energy could be reduced by using these systems more efficiently.

CASE STUDY Our Duffin facility in Elyria, Ohio, machines most of our components. To help reduce energy consumption, we invested in new variable speed air compressor technology for the facility. When demand for the compressor is reduced, it automatically kicks down to a lower speed to reduce energy use. Duffin expects to see a 10% reduction in energy over the first twelve months of use.
