I am sure this will be obvious to a native speaker or someone more familiar with the field, but I can't get my head around what exactly it is referring to. This is a report on some of the highlights and challenges faced in the last year by this company.

Reduction in the consumption of casings
I'm not a native speaker, but to me the "conso" here obviously refers to "consommation", hence my suggested translation.
"Caisson" can have a number of translations, but in a HVAC context Termium translates it as 'filter casing', GDT as 'caisson'.

or "Reduction in (filter) casing consumption" which sounds more natural in English.
