Unit 	Energy management (targets and goals)	
Stage	Stage 2: Energy Management / Energy Managers II	
Program	This is the second training unit for energy managers in stage 2. The module focuses on setting measurable energy targets that are suitable. To be fair and achievable, targets need to focus on areas of responsibilities (corresponding with ISO 50001 “significant energy using units”). Further, external factors that cannot be influenced by the employees responsible, need to be normalized (such as production loads, ambient temperature levels). This module shall train the needed concepts (regression analysis) and then go into practical application. 	
Planning	Target group category:		Top management (executives or their representatives)	
		x	Middle management (energy manager)	
			General employees (operators of the machines)	
	Specific group:	Energy management	
	No of participants:	Up to 10 participants	
	Duration:	2 hours	
	Elements:	Role play on basis of a case study	
General objectives	Aim: 	Employees shall have routine in the quantitative methods of ISO 50001:2018 and ISO 50006  	
	Verification:	Conclusion with a set of multiple-choice questions	
Specific objectives	Aim: 		a)	Energy managers shall understand that energy targets need to meet the areas of responsibilities in order to be effective for motivation.
b)	Energy managers shall understand the concept of baselines and monitoring.
c)	Energy managers shall be able to create monitoring systems for the different areas of responsibilities on employee level (Significant Energy Using Units). This includes routine in using the INDUCE toolkit on monitoring.	
	Verification: 	Conclusion with a set of multiple-choice questions	
Concept	Type of material:	Training slides, pin board	
	Contribution:	Energy Managers need to be able to formulate SMART (Specific, Measurable, Accepted, Realistic, Terminated) energy savings targets on areas of responsibilities. Otherwise, those targets cannot reflect and evaluate the success of the employees. Suitable targets are one of the keys to people involvement and motivation. After the training, the energy managers shall apply the trained and practiced approach at their own company and set SMART targets for employees	
	Training levels:	Understand: Methods for SMART targets on areas of responsibilities (employees) 
Apply: The above methods by use of the INDUCE toolkit on monitoring	
Learning activities	Trainings shall begin with the theoretical concept of SMART targets and quantitative methods to set meaningful baselines for areas of responsibilities (Energy consumption considering external factors). Further it will be trained, how the energy consumption from the time the SMART targets were set can be meaningfully compared to an actual energy consumption (for evaluation if the target was fulfilled). After theory, the energy managers practice the lessons learned by using the INDUCE toolkit on monitoring which shall include all algorithms for calculation.
