            After discussion with the company engineers on the production floor, we recommend increasing the air-conditioner
            operating temperature to 20 C. This will not affect production. However, as a precaution, the operational change will

            start with one area, followed by the progressive implementation for the entire production floor. Estimated savings in
            energy consumption per day are shown in Table 7.
