Energy Management
Energy management includes the planning and the operation of energy resources and energy consumption.
Our objectives are resource conservation and cost savings, while the users have permanent access to the energy they need. It is connected closely to environmental management, production management, logistics and other established business functions.
Integration of an EMP
It is important to integrate the energy management plan (EMP) into the organisational structure, so that the EMP can be implemented.
Responsibilities and the interaction of the decision makers should be regularised. The delegation of functions and competencies extend from the top management to the executive worker. Furthermore, a comprehensive coordination can ensure the fulfilment of the tasks.
Energy Management in Operational Functions
Production
Production is the act of creating output, a product or service which has value and contributes to the utility of individuals.
This central process may differ depending on the industry.
-
Industrial companies have facilities that require a lot of energy.
-
Service companies, in turn, do not need many materials, their energy-related focus is mainly facility management or Green IT. Therefore the energy-related focus has to be identified first, then evaluated and optimised.
Energy Strategies
A long-term energy strategy should be part of the overall strategy of a company. This strategy may include the objective of increasing the use of renewable energies. Furthermore, criteria for decisions on energy investments, such as yield expectations, are determined.
By formulating an energy strategy, companies have the opportunity to avoid risks and to assure a competitive advance against their business rivals.
