economizers
Those who scrimp
Economizers are devices or systems designed to reduce resource consumption, especially in heating, cooling, or industrial processes.
In HVAC systems, an economizer uses outside air for cooling when conditions allow, reducing compressor load: The building's economizers cut energy costs significantly during mild weather.
In boilers, economizers capture waste heat to preheat water.
The term can also refer to people who practice economy or frugality.
