SYNOPSIS

Most energy efficiency targets in industries are achieved through changes in how energy is managed in an industrial facility, rather than through installation of new technologies.  An energy management standard provides a method for integrating energy efficiency into existing industrial management systems for continuous improvement.  Companies which have voluntarily adopted an energy management plan (a central feature of an EM standard) have achieved major energy intensity improvements.

This course will show how to:
 Develop a baseline of energy use
 Actively manage energy use and costs
 Reduce emissions without negative effect on operations
 Continue to improve energy use/product output over time
 Document savings for internal and external use (e.g. emission credits)
    
It will also include on the methods to develop:  
 A strategic plan that requires measurement, management, and documentation for continuous improvement of energy efficiency;  
 A cross-divisional management team led by a representative who reports directly to the management and is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the strategic plan;  
 Policies and procedures to address all aspects of energy purchase, use, and disposal;  
 Projects to demonstrate continuous improvement in energy efficiency;  
 The creation of an energy manual, a living document that evolves over time as additional energy saving projects and policies are undertaken and documented;  
 Identification of key performance indicators, unique to the company, that are tracked to measure progress;  
 Periodic reporting of progress to the management based on these measurements
