Lean Energy Analysis
Called “Lean Energy Analysis” because of synergy with “Lean Manufacturing”.
In lean manufacturing, “any activity that does not add value to the product is waste”.
Similarly, “any energy that does not add value to a
product or the facility is also waste”.

Use Lean Energy Analysis To Discover Savings Opportunities
LEA Indicators of Savings Opportunities– High “Independent” indicates waste– Departure from expected shape– High scatter indicates poor control
Low Electric LEA = 24%Indicates Operating Opportunities
Low Fuel LEA Identifies Insulation Opportunities
High Heating Slope Identifies Heating Efficiency / Insulation Opportunities
High Data Scatter Identifies Control Opportunities
Heating Energy Varies by 3X at Same Temp!
Departure From Expected Shape Identifies Malfunctioning Economizers
Air conditioning electricity use should flatten below 50 F Audit found malfunctioning economizers
Lean Energy Analysis
Quick but accurate disaggregation of energy use: – Quantifies the energy not adding value to product or
the facility– Helps identify savings opportunities– Provides an accurate baseline for measuring the
effectiveness of energy management efforts over time.
2. Identify and Quantify Saving Opportunities
Identifying energy savings– Use “Integrated Systems + Principles Approach (ISPA)– ISPA is effective and thorough
Quantifying energy savings– Requires competent engineering– May warrant energy audit– May consider energy savings performance contract (ESPC)
Prioritize Saving Opportunities
Multiple filters– Financial return on investment
• Rank versus other energy saving opportunities• Rank versus other requests for capital• Risk
– Consistent with other priorities– Available and knowledgeable staff to manage project
Implement Savings Opportunities
Management commitment Operator and maintenance education and buy in
3. Measurement and Benchmarking
Sustaining energy efficiency efforts requires that effectiveness of past efforts be accurately evaluated. – Verify the performance of past energy-efficiency efforts– Inform the selection of future energy-efficiency initiatives– Help develop energy-efficiency targets
Measurement – Extend LEA with sliding NAC and EI to measure energy
efficiency improvement Benchmarking
– Compare NAC and EI for inter-facility benchmarking
Normalized Energy Intensity
1) Characterize performance with ‘Energy signature’ model
2) Remove noise with ‘Normalized annual consumption’ NAC
3) Track performance with ‘Sliding NAC’ analysis
4) Benchmark performance with ‘Multi-site sliding NAC’ analysis

Summary: Effective Energy Management
Develop baseline– Plant energy balance– Lean energy analysis (LEA)
Take action – Identify and quantify energy saving opportunities– Prioritize energy saving opportunities– Implement energy saving opportunities
Measure and benchmark to sustain efforts– Develop metrics for system energy efficiency– Measure energy efficiency improvement with sliding NAC and EI– Compare energy efficiency between facilities with NAC and EI
