The Tale of Two Approaches
Example: a compressed air leak may be discovered and fixed, but monthly energy
usage still increases due to inefficiencies elsewhere and lack of a holistic and
monitored perspective on energy usage.
This discourages employees and leadership.
Antea Group6
Find-and-Fix Approach
Facility pursues energy reductions
in an opportunistic and ‘ad hoc’ manner.
While effective in immediately engaging
employees in ‘hands on’ action…
… successes often do not translate to
positive performance in overall metrics.
Programmatic Approach
Facility establishes a programmatic
approach to energy (water) management.
While potentially more time/resource
intensive to implement…
… the result is strategic, sustained, and
consistent management of energy.

HOW DOES MATURITY LOOK LIKE?
… a Maturing Processes Over Time
1. Optimized – Processes are all in place and
continuous improvement is evident
2. Quantitative – Statistic analysis of data
supports process objectives
3. Standardized – Processes are developed
and meeting minimum performance
requirements
4. Managed – Processes are documented to
work instruction level
5. Initial – Processes are being performed,
process owners may have been identified

Tip: Building Teams
 Create a Sustainability Team to lead and
coordinate activities between the various
groups that will need to be involved in
order for the energy project and program
to be successful.
 Establish a clear purpose for the team:
 Create and lead an ongoing
sustainability program
 Perform a one-time energy reduction
assessment
 Involve people with interests in the
program and who know the company.

 Identify common savings opportunities
and create handbook of best practices
 Create and use common “calculators” to
ensure consistent analysis
 Create templates for collecting and
analyzing energy, water, and waste data
 Develop and share case studies, including
project analyses

Tip: Employee Engagement
C O M M O N T E C H N I Q U E S F O R
B U I L D I N G E M P L O Y E E AWA R E N E S S
 Posters
 Training opportunities
 Idea generation contests
 ‘Find the most leaks’ contest or teams
 Incentive and reward programs
 Give out water/energy saving devices for
employees to use at home
 Set up volunteer opportunities
 Tour the local energy supplier
Building employee awareness about why energy is
important and the role all employees play should be
immediate and ongoing.
The awareness program should focus on:
 Building an understanding
 Emphasizing the importance of involvement
 Encouraging active involvement and
communication
Awareness building must be frequent and
continuous in order to generate excitement and
maintain attention!

Tip: Benchmarking
B E N C H M A R K I N G T O A S S E S S
M AT U R I T Y
 Develop scorecards to define baseline and
track progress
 Consider internal and external
benchmarking
 Share results – they provide important
feedback
 Dig deep to identify gaps in performance –
technical and cultural gaps
