Active engagement with energy management

- Potencial de ahorro :
Next to formalized certified energy management systems, there are many organizational activities that can be termed as energy management. Such non-formalized approaches are helpful, for example, if companies do not have the capacity to establish full management systems.
Establishing a preventive maintenance program

- Esfuerzo de implementación :
- Potencial de ahorro :
A lack of lubrication and unidentified malfunctions can lead to increases in energy consumption. Implementing a preventive maintenance program can help to minimize failures.
Realisation of energy audits
- Categoría: Management
- Área: Organization
- Sub-Área: Management
- Esfuerzo de implementación :
- Potencial de ahorro :
Energy audits are a one-time interventions that aims at identifying major energy consumers and energy saving potentials. Depending on the specific situation, they can both be carried out by own personnel or by third parties. Usually, the energy audits focus on technical improvements, less at organizational change.
Raising awareness among employees for energy-related issue
- Categoría: Management
- Área: Organization
- Sub-Área: Management
- Esfuerzo de implementación :
- Potencial de ahorro :
Create awareness on energy consumption is a first step for realizing energy savings. Measures for creating awareness can be quite diverse. They can, for example, be based on training, on visualization, on dedicated meetings, a management systems, etc.
Exploitation of energy benchmarks
- Categoría: Management
- Área: Organization
- Sub-Área: Management
- Esfuerzo de implementación :
- Potencial de ahorro :
Benchmarks are a mean to compare the energy performance of one entity to another, to former performance or to some reference value. Benchmarks can ben a mean to obtain orientation on energy consumption and to reflect upon why values point to one direction or another.
Visualization of energy key performance indicators
- Categoría: Management
- Área: Organization
- Sub-Área: Management
- Esfuerzo de implementación :
- Potencial de ahorro :
When energy performance is not known to employees, they have few possibilities to actually adapt their behaviour to minimize consumption. Visualizations, e.g. via screens, panels, displays or print outs can therefore help to sensitise employees to energy consumption.
Training and education of employees for energy-related issues
- Categoría: Management
- Área: Organization
- Sub-Área: Management
- Esfuerzo de implementación :
- Potencial de ahorro :
Training and education on energy-related issues in general or the integration of energy-related knowledge in technical tutorials and documents can help companies to reduce energy consumption.
Usage of exchange mechanisms
- Categoría: Management
- Área: Organization
- Sub-Área: Management
- Esfuerzo de implementación :
- Potencial de ahorro :
Exchange mechanisms are a way to share knowledge and experience among different groups, both among employees, but also beyond individual company borders. Such mechanisms can for example help participants to learn what works well and to identify potential practical pitfalls in implementing energy efficiency measures from the very beginning.
