A STRATEGIC APPROACH TO ENERGY MANAGEMENT


A strategic approach to energy management

5 steps to success 1. Getting commitment

2. Understanding the issues

3. Planning objectives and targets

4. Implementing an action plan

5. Monitoring performance


Getting commitment from senior management

You need a strong business case. Senior managers need to understand:

• What the programme is about• What the issues are and why they need action• What the benefits are• What the cost/returns will be

Survey by 2degrees members highlighted thatthe biggest barrierin delivering energy efficienciesis achieving engagement with the programme


Understanding the issues through audit and assessment

Onsite energy audit provides:

• Information about energy usage• Performance benchmarking• Recommendations for energy

reduction opportunities• Indicative costs & payback periods


Planning your objectives and targets

• Integrate the approach• Consider areas with best

potential for:• implementation• energy and carbon saving

• Understand interactions


Implementing an action plan

• Driven by project delivery plan• Delivery of measures:

• Internally, if capability exists• Or, with partner organisations to

bridge the organisation skill gaps• Allows you to keep control• Enables you to communicate progress• Measure and verify the energy savings


Monitoring performance improvement

• Implement a metering and ongoing monitoring strategy

• Identifies where energy wastage occurs• Pinpoints anomalies• Highlight implementation learnings• Help identify opportunities for continued

energy reductions
