“The primary objective of this research was to identify the most significant and immediate needs of large and medium size organizations to adapt to the emerging Carbon economy, with special focus into the energy management activities of the 200 largest energy consumers of Victoria.
On the energy efficiency space the biggest challenge that companies are encountering to reduce energy consumption is to identify, understand and quantify the energy efficiency opportunities, the underlying issue to identify energy efficiency opportunities seems to be in many of the cases the approach taken to deal with the problem. A small group of companies (majority of them above 0.5PJ per annum) have taken a continuous improvement approach to energy management these companies are ahead in number and qualities of efficiency opportunities identified and implemented.”

White certificates as a tool to promote energy efficiency in industryDario Di Santo
Energy efficiency obligation schemes (EEOs) are used in many EU countries as a policy measure to reach energy efficiency targets. Some of the first EEOs (UK, Italy, France, Denmark) have been capable to reach positive results over the years, as clearly demonstrated by the ENSPOL project. The Italian mechanism, in particular, is an interesting example of white certificate scheme (WhC), since it is one of the most long-lasting schemes (operatively started in 2005), has ambitious targets, covers all sectors and energy efficiency solutions, and has many flexibility options in place (e.g. non-obliged parties, tradable market, bankability, etc.).
Another point of interest is Italian WhC development over the years. In the first phase, most of the projects were related to buildings with deemed savings as energy savings assessment method. Then the industrial sector rose constantly, till covering 80% of the savings in 2014, mostly assessed through metered savings procedures. In the last three years, the buildings sector has started to recover, while metered savings have remained the most used energy savings evaluation procedure. This last development is mainly due to some regulatory decision and to the modification of the assessment of additionality for many industrial projects categories.
The paper will illustrate the reasons behind these developments, the issues that have arisen over the recent years, and the decisions taken to address them through a major redesign of
the Italian scheme that has been introduced with new ministerial guidelines in 2017: many aspects – such as targets, base-line and additionality, saving assessment, and measurement, verification and control procedures – has been deeply affected. The presentation related to the paper presented at eceee industrial conference, covers such themes, focusing in particular on the industrial side and highlighting themes like cost effectiveness, energy savings assessment, and how baseline and additionality have been dealt with over the years.

Disruptive Technologies in Commodity Trading MarketsCTRM Center
Over the last few years, a host of potentially disruptive technologies have emerged that may yet have tremendous impacts on aspects of commodity trading and commodity supply chain business processes. These technologies join the shift to cloud deployment and software-as-a-service (SaaS) that we have observed taking on greater importance in the delivery of CTRM solutions recently. Technologies such as blockchain, automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), big data and social media, micro-services and open source software have all caught the imagination of software providers and industry players over this period. In particular, there has been a great deal of interest and considerable hype around blockchain and distributed ledger technology, while AI and ML are also seeing deployments in automated trading and elsewhere.
This report on “Energy Efficiency in India: PAT Scheme - Success and Failures”, prepared by Tata Strategic Management Group, has a holistic view on the current state of energy efficiency and energy management in India. The focus of this report is on identifying key challenges faced by designated consumers in implementation of PAT Cycle I and how a collaborative effort in the right direction could ensure fast adoption of EE and robust energy management in India. It would gear India towards reducing energy intensity of the future growth, one of the prime objectives under NAPCC

Energy (in) efficiency for energy & environment managementY P Chawla
Abstract: Amongst various inputs to the cost of production, Energy is an important part. Its efficiency or inefficiency makes the enterprise competitive or otherwise. The Cost of Energy as an external input has so far generally been outside the control of a manufacturing organization not owning a captive power plant. The internal factors that contribute to the higher energy consumption are in its equipment and manufacturing processes involved. The passive plant managers offload the problem of inefficiencies to external consultants while the proactive managers get involved in the process of making the plant energy efficient themselves or through their team. The reduced cost of energy input has now been possible by generation through the distributed energy resources-Solar or the Wind or a compelling couple of the Solar and Wind together. If the surplus Power Generated through renewable sources(RE) is available for the sales to the other users (Industry in this case), and the block chain technology combined with IoT in the energy sector helps in the electricity purchases and its settlement by connecting non-utility end users (or possibly prosumers) rather than sourcing it from licensed distribution companies (Discoms). The energy inefficiency as Transmission and Distribution Losses (T&D) are external to the Industrial set up can be offset by the local generation through Renewable Energy or bought from the third party generating surplus REpower for sale to the third party.
Battery Storage System(BSS) associated with Renewable Energy can help meet the peak power requirements of the manufacturing process. The demand shift of the power load can also improve the inefficient utilization of non-peak power.
Virtual Net Metering as is allowed by the proactive Joint Electricity Regulatory Commission for Goa and Union Territories makes way for the Solar Power Generation away from the point of Consumption. Community Solar Farms can help to sell the surplus power to the Industry during the peak power consumption period. BSS makes it flexible to allow storage consumption at the time it is needed or costliest the most if sourced from licensed Discoms. The Industry drawing power at High voltage while using a chunk of the same at LT takes advantage of Distributed Power Generation stepped up only to LT level again adding to Energy Efficiency. The distributed energy sources and block chain of energy creates opportunities for T&D reduction while posing the regulatory challenging.

White certificates: the shift towards industry presented at ECEEE summer studyDario Di Santo
The Italian white certificates scheme (WhC) has been in place for nine years and a lot of experience has been gathered. More than this, it has become an effective mechanism, mostly based on measured energy savings, to promote and implement energy efficiency in industry.
The scheme is based on an energy efficiency obligation, imposed on electricity and gas distributors, and on a tradable market for certificates, thus acting as an incentive for medium and large end-users and energy service companies (the voluntary parties).
The proposed paper shows in detail the shift of the scheme from the civil sector to the industrial one and from deemed savings projects to monitoring plan projects. Also the transformation of some energy service providers in ESCO has worthy to be noticed.
The paper is based on an extensive research carried on from FIRE on monitoring plans commissioned by ENEA, showing what kind of interventions have been implemented, how they performed compared to the expected savings, and what kind of advice can be given to other countries that are considering the introduction of an energy efficiency obligation (EEO) scheme according to the 2012/27/EU directive.

Energy efficiency: a profit center for companies!Leonardo ENERGY
Investments in energy efficiency not only result in a reduction of energy consumption —the energy benefit— but they also entail non-energy benefits such as improved product quality, reduced production time or improved comfort in sales area. Non-energy benefits significantly improve the business case of energy-efficiency investments in the business sector by raising their strategic character.
Within this context, the aim of this webinar is to discuss a methodology to describe and analyze the industrial non-energy benefits of energy efficiency. Linking energy, operational, strategic and financial aspects, this new conceptual framework enables to move away from the common view of energy as a commodity (where the only goal is to save kilowatt-hours) to adopt a new perspective on energy and energy services as strategic value for businesses.
This methodology will be further developed and documented by Task 26 Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency, a project of IEA Demand Side Management Energy Efficiency Technology Collaboration Program, in close collaboration with practitioners, academic researchers and public programmers. People or Institutions interested by Task 26 are most welcome to contact me.
Multiple benefits will also be discussed in-depth with a panel at this year’s IEPPEC June 7-9 Amsterdam.

Addressing the challenge of energy efficiency through ICTFiras Obeido
High Performance buildings: are designed and built to minimize energy usage and environmental impacts, while maximizing comfort, health, and safety.
Smart Buildings: Leverage technology to provide enhanced performance and are connected and responsive to the “smart” power grid, which is emerging as information technology is applied to the infrastructure that delivers our electricity.
Energy Information Management: Is the useful visualization of information resulting from data collection, mining and other analytics.
Truly smart buildings will leverage knowledge that resides outside its walls.
Introducing programs that allow real-time adjustment of demand in addition to supply when wholesale prices are high or when grid reliability is in question or high demand is expected.
Two-way communication between the Grid & the Building where software conversation actually makes the Grid & the Building talk to each other.
The ICT sector can boost energy efficiency and enable emission reductions in a number of ways:
• Standardize
• Monitor
• Account
• Rethink
• Transform
Energy efficiency measures contribute to an organization’s sustainability goals, such as tracking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. But if the data is trapped within the building management system, executive level decision-makers may not find it.
The underlying principle that drives the connections between smart technology, sustainability, and efficiency is the access to better information that enables more effective decision making, which in turn results in more efficient operations and fewer resource requirements.

CDP Global Supply Chain Report 2014: Collaborative Action on Climate RiskSustainable Brands
For the 2014 report, 2868 companies--representing 14% of global industrial emissions--reported carbon data. The findings show that despite 75% of companies identifying current or future risk from climate change, investment in emissions reductions dropped 22% from the previous year and these investments are focusing more on short term returns.
The report revealed that companies that collaborate with supply chain stakeholders are 2x more likely to realize financial return from investments in emissions reductions.
The report also shows the importance of employee engagement. Companies that involve more than 4 functions in supply chain sustainability were 2x more likely to realize emission reductions and 4x more likely to generate monetary savings.

3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Australia is moving towards a low carbon future and the implications of this
move are huge. This is especially important in Victoria, where energy is based on
brown coal and the cost of electricity is forecast to more than double in price by
2013. The increasing price of power will open up many opportunities for companies
to benefit from a market which is estimated to reach AU$5-15bn by 20154. These
figures do not include the value created by Energy Efficiency and Distributed Energy
services, which is the market developed by Government regulations following an
increased awareness of climate damage caused by carbon emissions. Federal and
State government regulations are attempting to boost energy efficiency and reduce
carbon emissions.
The primary objective of this research was to identify the most significant
energy needs of medium and large organizations as they adapt to the emerging
carbon economy. The research had a special focus on the energy management
activities of the 200 largest energy consumers in Victoria.
It is important to note, that all the companies had at least 1 PTE assigned to
environmental/sustainability tasks with 20% having more than 1FTE in the
environmental department and all of them had environmental functions in their
roles descriptions. While these companies’ appear to have taken some action,
mainly motivated by regulation and risk management, more than 70% of these
companies had only implemented small projects with paybacks of 12 months or
less; such as projects involving operational improvements or capital replacement or
minor investments and not engaged in advanced technical projects.
In regard to energy efficiency, the biggest challenge that companies are
facing is to identify, understand and quantify the opportunities. So far, companies
have taken a static approach, which simply means identifying obvious energy waste
through an external audit and then conduct isolated improvement projects based
on the investment required and estimated payback.
A small group of companies has taken a continuous improvement approach
to energy management where they: monitor and analyze their consumption
patterns, implement efficiency control measures and embed energy management
into everything they do. These companies have created an energy management
policy, appointed a single responsible for energy management, set up monitoring
and reporting systems and made users accountable for their consumption. These
companies are enjoying far greater benefits than the others.
The research found energy managers wanted precise energy sub-metering
and monitoring. This suggests that companies are aware that a change in approach
is needed and that a long term solution involves making energy visible and
everyone accountable for their usage and wastage.
As companies get more serious about managing energy, they look towards a
continuous improvement process embedded into the corporate culture and see
many rewarding energy efficiency opportunities. As company resources are used
wisely and waste diminishes, the impacts on society will be immense and future
generations of Australians will benefit.

4. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
Australia has proposed a carbon reduction scheme and new Government
regulations are challenging organizations to adapt to the new carbon economy.
Some of these low carbon regulations are: Energy Efficiency Opportunities (EEO),
Victorian Environmental and Resource Efficiency plans (EREP), National Greenhouse
Emissions Reporting Act (NGER), and the coming Carbon Pollution Reduction
Scheme (CPRS)
The first two regulations: EEO and EREP are already implemented and aim to
support the largest energy using businesses to improve efficiency and
performance1. EEO is mandatory for large energy using corporations across
Australia, consuming more than 0.5PJ of energy per year. EREP is directed to
commercial and industrial sites located in Victoria, using more than 100TJ (0.1PJ)
of energy per year or 120 ML per year of water. The NGER came into effect in
September 2007; its objective is to introduce a single Australian framework for the
reporting of greenhouse emissions2. The CPRS’s goal is to create one of the globe’s
most advanced emissions trading regimes by 20113 and reduce carbon emission by
at least 5% in 2020. Additionally, organizations are looking to improve their image
by achieving “green” certifications like: Carbon Neutral, Zero Emission, Zero waste,
Zero Potable Water Usage, and subscribing voluntarily to the Carbon Disclosure
Project (CDP) 3.
This new scenario has opened the opportunity to develop and implement
carbon and energy management strategies in order to participate in a market
estimated to reach AU$5-15bn by 20154, not considering the value created by
Energy Efficiency and Distributed Energy services.
This research identifies the most significant and immediate needs of
organizations to adapt to the emerging carbon economy, with special focus on the
energy efficiency identification and implementation among the largest Victorian
energy consumers all participating in the EREP program. The research goal is to
understand what EREP registered companies have done in terms of resource
efficiency, what their main challenge is, what kind of service would be their highest
and immediate interest, and who are the decision makers developing resource
efficiency projects.
MATERIALS & METHODS
In July 2009, there were 185 companies with 200 EREP registered sites. The
research focused on these sites.
The research is based on the responses randomly obtained from a sample of
30% of the EREP registered companies; 85% of the companies that replied to the
interview were from the manufacturing industry, 8% from the commercial industry,
5% from the oil and mining industry and 2% from the transport and storage
industry.
Information was obtained through telephone interviews with Environmental
Managers (EM) or the manager responsible for energy efficiency and/or
environmental compliance. Answers were received by phone and/or email.
Further information was obtained through the EEO reports submitted by some
companies registered at EREP.

5. THE RESEARCH
Information from the major energy consumers in Victoria
The sampled companies can be classified accordingly with their activity as:
manufacturing (61%), commercial (17%), oil/mining (10%), transport and storage
(5%), generators (5%), and others (2%). (Figure 1)

35% of the 185 companies are registered at EEO and have submitted a public
report including an energy consumption assessment. As part of the program, the
participants had to baseline their energy use, gather data on at least 80% of the
corporation’s energy use, undertake Energy Efficiency Opportunities assessments
over a five year period, and report to the Government on a minimum of three
Energy Efficiency Opportunities.
The total energy usage of the companies registered in both EREP and EEO
was 541PJ (not including Qantas), in this EREP/EEO group, manufacturing
companies accounted for 56% of the energy use, oil and mining accounted for 40%
and commercial and transport accounted for 2% each. It is important to note that
oil and mining represented 14% of the EREP/EEO registered companies. In terms of
average energy use, they are the highest consumers with an average of 30.67PJ.

6. The challenge to achieve energy efficiencies
For almost one third (30%) of EM’s, their biggest challenge was to “identify
energy efficiency opportunities”. Another 22% of EM’s declared that to “understand
complex processes” was one of the toughest challenges in resource optimization.
An additional 18% stated “metering & monitoring” was a major challenge when it
came to understanding how processes could be improved.
Employee’s awareness and capital were other challenges that concerned 13% of
EM’s, while 5% of EM’s struggled with non-steady state control (a huge problem in
facilities with extremely high energy consumption). (Figure 3)
The first three categories lacked the measurement information to develop resource
optimization. These categories comprised 70% of the responses and showed why
companies are not investing in technical projects, which may have a longer payback
but can provide the next big step to improve energy usage and resource
performance.
Identifying energy efficiency opportunities was the approach taken to deal
with the problem. Companies are starting at the wrong end; they first try to
identify opportunities, then attempt to understand the processes and finally, to look
for detailed information. This drill down methodology better suits a reactive rather
than a proactive approach and doesn’t suit cost-effective energy management.
It is advisable to start from a different angle, firstly, understand how the
processes work as part of a whole system, secondly, monitor the important areas to
establish trends and behaviors, and thirdly, work on these areas to continuously
improve the process efficiency.

7. Energy and resource efficiency actions
The resource efficiency projects undertaken by the interviewed companies were
classified as follow:
• Operational Improvements: Process optimizations, change power factor,
adjust temperature setups, fine tune, shutdown equipment, awareness
program
• Capital Replacement: Switch from diesel to LNG, VSD, change V-belts,
install EE engines/rotors/fans
• Minor Investment: Lighting, steam generator improvement, insulation.
• Technical Investment: Heat recovery systems, co-generation systems,
biogas recovery, electricity generation from biogas, processes automation.
• Maintenance: Compressor, compressed air leaks, steam traps detection
and maintenance
• Metering: Any initiative that involve the installation of metering and
monitoring system.
Of the interviewed EM’s, 40% declared operational improvements as the main
type of resource efficiency project, 23% stated capital replacement as their main
resource efficiency project, 18% declared minor investment projects, and only 10%
acknowledge technical investment. The balance was maintenance and metering
projects with 5% each. (Figure 4)
This result shows that companies were in the process of identifying energy
waste and inefficiencies and developing projects which mainly involved operational
improvements. Some capital replacement and minor investments were isolated
one-off projects that secured the easy wins on the shop floor. This approach is
static and explains why maintenance was not considered as a major component and
why few companies recognize the value of metering projects to assess energy
usage. It is remarkable that only 10% of the projects involve technical investment,
however, it is not surprising because these projects require evaluation of complex
processes, accurate quantification and detail engineering design.

8. Taking control of energy consumption
At the moment, one third of companies manage energy by using sub-
metering, however, 75% of these are large corporations consuming more than 0.5
pj and already subscribed to the EEO program. Trend benchmarking is used by
30% of companies where energy usage is related to production intensity. Another
18% use the information from the main meter provided by the electricity retailer,
13% control energy consumption through financial budgeting, and 8% practice
benchmarking across multiple facilities. (Figure 5)
For the third of companies that already sub-meter energy consumption,
there is a need to improve monitoring and the online access of required data. For
the balance of companies, there is a strong need for both sub-metering and
monitoring to better understand where and how the efficiencies should be allocated.
Companies registered in both EREP and EEO have stated that 15% of the
developed projects are related to technical investments, due to a better level of
results from sub-metering.
Monitoring, analysing and reporting energy consumption are three essential
elements of an effective energy management strategy and must be used in
conjunction with a well-designed information system.
To establish proper control over energy use, it is necessary to have
information on energy flows and inputs across the entire organisation. When
treated in this manner, energy use can be effectively managed in a similar way to
other operating resources. Tight budgetary controls of energy consumption can
reduce waste and establish a higher level of energy efficiency. However, cost
controls alone don’t provide the information needed to show whether energy is
being used efficiently, or how it can be used more efficiently7.

9. Demand Side Management (DSM)
DSM refers to the ability of electricity demand to respond to variations in
electricity prices in the spot market and how customer participation in demand
reduction programs supports the deferral or avoidance of network augmentation. It
can be achieved through facility load reductions or the use of on-site generation. Its
objective is to affect the load shape in order to achieve cost reductions. Large
customers that can reduce their demand with prior notification are encouraged to
do so, in return for both availability and dispatch payments.
Businesses have not been using their energy accordingly to the supply
shortages and immediate price peaks. More than half of the companies do not
practice DSM or are unfamiliar with the concept, 23% practice basic manual DSM
for internal purposes to reduce their demand charges, only 15% apply automatic
DSM responding to prices or some type of incentive program, and 10% state that
DSM is not possible to implement due to the nature of the processes were the most
significant loads are used.
The low participation on DSM can be explained by four main reasons; energy
pricing is fully reflective of the costs, the disaggregated nature of DSM, the lack of
company’s data regarding their processes, and the scarce availability and
promotion of DSM programs. (Figure 6)

10. The energy manager wish list
According to the results presented here, one third of the interviewed EM’s
are interested in metering & monitoring services that help them identify, quantify,
and implement resource efficiencies. Another third would not require any outsource
service to achieve energy efficiencies, however 67% of the latter group are large
energy consumers with a registered EEO program that are likely to have built the
capabilities in house after years of program participation. The last third is composed
by 13% with “a package of two or more services including sub-metering and
monitoring”, 10% that require “energy and water efficiencies identification”, 8%
who use “energy tender services”, and only 5% with “compliance reports”.
These results show how companies faced with the challenges of energy
management are finding it difficult to assemble the full skill set and resources in-
house. The low interest in reporting services and high interest in sub-metering and
monitoring as well as identification of efficiency opportunities shows that companies
understand the potential benefits of energy management and need accurate
information to make the right decisions. They understand that short term,
temporary measures are not going to achieve the results required to maintain their
competitiveness in the market.(Figure 7)

11. Decision making process and responsibility
Energy and water usage is an executive responsibility for all the companies
surveyed and an integral part of their sustainability strategy. The problem is that
consumption and control in many organizations is a duty that involves different
managers inside the organization such as General Manager, CFO, Financial
Controller, Operations Manager, Engineering Department and environmental
managers.
At a corporate level, 100% of the interviewed companies stated risk
management was the main reason for engaging in sustainability in the first place,
(risk is identified as non-compliance, cost increases and scarcity of raw materials),
30% indicated they had one PTE working on sustainability, 50% had one FTE and
the other 20% had more than one FTE. In any case, the majority of their time was
used in dealing with compliance and disclosure as well as corporate wide initiatives.
Almost one third (30%) of EM’s were empowered to analyze, quantify,
evaluate and take full action over energy and water projects. They also took full
responsibility on energy and water consumption and compliance with regulations.
All of the companies interviewed indicated that operations were engaged and had
environmental functions such as energy management in their role descriptions but
very few had created a special role in operations to do the job. In 70% of the cases
the responsibility had been assigned to a senior engineer.
With no formal budget in 70% of the cases, money was allocated from other
department budgets to cover auditing, monitoring and some specialist consulting
services, so when the time came to implement projects it came down to payback
evaluation with no priority against other projects. By not having a single manager
responsible for energy management, decision making became complex and
progress became challenging and slow. (Figure 8)

12. CONCLUSIONS
In the past, resources like energy and water were treated as basic,
affordable and available commodities. With the current drought Victoria, pressure
over fossil fuel energy and increasing climate change awareness, energy and water
use has to be treated seriously. Federal and State government programs, such as
EEO, EREP, and Water Maps are promoting the efficient use of resources by
imposing energy consumption reporting obligations on the largest consumers.
Regulations like RET, NGER and CPRS are aiming to reduce carbon emission by at
least 5% by 20206 This will be achieved by increasing renewable energy targets in
the grid, introducing more compliance obligations and creating a cost for carbon
emissions; all this adds several layers of complexity and will drive energy prices up,
especially in Victoria. Organizations will need to reduce energy consumption by
implementing energy efficiency projects, as well as use metering and monitoring to
reduce emissions in order to comply with regulations, lower risks, save costs and
enhance their competitiveness.
The research conducted showed that the biggest energy management
challenge is to identify efficiency opportunities, assess complex processes and
measure resource inputs to the processes. The logic behind this problem seems to
be a one-off project approach, where the opportunity is identified followed by
analysis to quantify the opportunity. These three challenges are all parts of the
same problem, the complexity of the processes and the lack of data make it difficult
to determinate the potential of any opportunity making the identification of
efficiency difficult, if not impossible, once the simple problems are solved. In terms
of energy management, half of the companies didn’t have a single person
responsible for energy and water usage. This absence dilutes accountability, slows
down the decision making process and fails to signal the importance of the
initiative.
Less than 30% of the companies take a different approach, where energy
efficiency is not a one-off project but a continuous improvement approach to
energy efficiency. These companies control energy usage through sub-metering and
monitoring; have a single manager responsible for energy and water consumption;
aim to develop and implement energy efficiency projects; work to control their
demand as a way to minimize their electricity bills; and integrate maintenance as
part of their comprehensive energy management program. Interestingly, what all
these companies have in common, is that they have identified not only the easy
targets, but large opportunities which are already providing substantial benefits.
The difficulties in identifying new opportunities is due to the need to continuously
meter and monitor energy usage and appoint a single person with the authority to
create a continuous improvement approach.
Our research clearly showed that the most required service by
environmental managers is sub-meter and monitoring energy. Large energy
consumers need to improve measurement and energy data analysis as a major step
towards dramatically improved energy efficiency.
Most organizations are realising that a different approach is needed; that the
continuous improvement philosophy needs to be applied company-wide; and that
energy regulations will continue to grow, and should be seen in a positive light as a
way to improve competitiveness and reduce the risks forced on every organization
by climate change .

Energy Management in Industry
13. MOVING FORWARD
Over the next few years, Victoria will experience an enormous change in the
way energy is generated and consumed, and every Victorian will feel the impact.
Change brings with it challenges and opportunities, and its up to everyone to face
them and succeed. The key to take advantage of these opportunities is preparation,
and we can see from these research results, that while many of the largest energy
consumers are already doing something, it is just the beginning of a journey of
continuous improvement, where the status quo is challenged and the intangible is
measured and quantified accurately.
To be prepared for the new energy world, industry needs to take it seriously
and incorporate energy and resources into their strategic planning.
So what does a continuous improvement energy management strategy look
like? At the very least, companies should ensure they are doing the following:
Organize management resources
Get commitment from senior management, establish accountability for and
assign reasonable resources as well as reporting procedures
Appoint an energy manager
Appoint a senior staff member to be responsible for the overall coordination
of the strategy and have them report directly to senior management
Prepare an energy management policy and set up targets
Include general objectives and specific targets, timeframes, budget limits,
and resources
Establish an energy monitoring and reporting system
Make energy visible to the company. Implement a system to measure,
aggregate, analyse and report on energy costs and consumption
Start an awareness and training program
Empower everyone to help reduce consumption. Communication is crucial to
success, communicate the strategy’s plans and report results to all staff and
stakeholders
Identify energy savings opportunities
By understanding the energy use of each process, energy flows can be
measured, and potential energy and cost savings identified
Prepare an abatement curve and plan of action
Develop a plan of action, set targets for energy savings that relate to
