ENERGY MANAGEMENT  PROGRAMMES

KNOW YOUR ENERGY USE AND COST

Analysis of Energy invoices over a number of years, together with production data, can provide base line Key Performance Indicators of Energy Usage per production unit.Use of sub-meters can provide similar data for individual/distinct site areas.

TARGETING

With base line Key Performance Indicators set, and with use of Energy Audit results and Action Plan Projects, Targets can be established, over one or more years, to quantify improvements in Energy Efficiency.

REPORTING

Establish Report Formats both for Senior Management, and for all Site Personnel. The content will vary according to the recipients, but should be clear in identifying previous, present and Targetted future performance.

AUDITING

Carrying out Audits and Surveys of all site facilities, and identifying possible areas where energy savings are possible, will provide useful data for generating challenging Targets for future energy usage, and will help identify Projects for inclusion in an Action Plan.

ACTION PLANS

Action Plans can be generated to formalise the work/projects required, over selected periods, to ensure resources(both time and finance) can be made available to ensure the Programme is successful, and shows continuous improvement.

TRAINING/AWARENESS

Establishing an Energy Management Programme will require support not only from Senior Managers, but all site personnel. All personnel will need to be made aware of the Programme and where appropriate be provided with particular training.
