community until recently. It's worthwhile to say that the chapter emphasize to develop sustainable energy efficient design by reducing the process facility demand i.e. the utilization energy component of the process.

As an everlasting progression, sustainability may be a constantly embryonic field i.e. Every new facility that's developed has the potential to be more sustainable and energy efficient than the preceding as new technologies and methodologies are sprouting incessantly. There are numerous ways to conserve energy throughout the planning, construction, and operation of a facility — it's all about optimizing existing systems to further efficient settings. The expanse of energy ingesting in manufacturing has turn out to be a strategic factor in determining whether the business will remain competitive or not. There are certain rudiments of the manufacturing systems which are very difficult to alteration once the process facility is designed and meant functioning. Every manufacturing system or industrial facility design involves amassing together separate elements into a connected or a coherent whole i.e. Synthesize with the activities during which the varied process elements are combined together to generate the flowsheet of the system in order to meet certain objectives. Thus, each facility design may be a result of process synthesis which represents the configuration of the varied pieces of equipment and their interconnection represented on a flowsheet. It's almost impossible to induce a sustainable energy efficient facility design if the definition includes process synthesis as a part of the definition, humans are always in pursuit of excellence through knowledge and it has no practical limits. New discoveries will be made and new processes are going to be synthesized to attain the identical outcomes with meager energy and capital in an exceedingly more environment friendly manner. Because the facility could not be designed to cater inventions, consequently the inclusions of it within the sustainable energy efficient facility design definition is not defensible. Hence, the definition of sustainable energy efficient facility design does not embrace process synthesis but it lies within the response of the question i.e. the way to intensify facility design for a specified process which is capable of improving its energy efficiency grounded on the energy-capital trade-off throughout its life cycle. The foremost hurdle to achieve such a design is its acceptance to "retrofit", because the design has to be adapted several times during its life-cycle to be energy efficient. It will not be erroneous to conclude that the aspect of retrofit-ability could be a precondition for a sustainable energy efficient design [1, 2].
