An energy management strategy should follow 5 key steps: 1) Get commitment from senior management by making a strong business case. 2) Understand issues through an energy audit. 3) Plan objectives and targets by integrating approaches and considering best opportunities. 4) Implement an action plan through internal or partner delivery. 5) Monitor performance improvement through ongoing metering and identifying opportunities. An effective strategy will help deliver successful energy management by making it an integral part of company management to maximize benefits across the business.
