Unit 	Basic knowledge/ Best Practices/ Advantages in energy efficiency	
Stage	Stage2: Implementation	
Program	Reducing the energy bill is your concern. You are involved in sustainable development. As technical manager, energy manager or team leader in the industrial sector, you are required to improve the energetic performance. This unit outlines the basic and important measures about energy efficiency to help middle managers leading successfully their actions and optimizing their projects. Besides, to ensure a better permanent future, good practices for each process are going to be identified.	
Planning	Target group category:		Top management	
		x	Middle management	
		x	General employees	
	Specific group:	Technical team leaders (electrical, maintenance, logistics and production) and energy manager.	
	No of participants:	4 participants	
	Duration:	4 hours	
	Elements:	a)	Sectoral analysis of energy consumption.
b)	Best practices and energy efficiency measures in various systems: compressed air, heating process, refrigeration process, dryers, electric motors, pumps and lighting.
c)	The latest innovations of industrial systems that take into account the energy efficiency. 	
General objectives	Aim: 	Employees should understand that energy efficiency is a primordial company target just like production. They must know the reasons behind their current low performance to appropriate the energetic issues and do their best to resolve it.	
	Verification:	Direct observation  	
Specific objectives	Aim: 		a)	General employees shall have the reflex to monitor their energy consumptions: actual dashboards and performance indicators (if energy consumption indicators are used, if not we are going to define them, their role and their potential importance).
b)	General employees shall spread good practices to all employees and participate actively to ensure energy improvement.
c)	Open their minds to future possibilities and innovations and prove them that there is still a lot to be done.	
	Verification: 		Direct observation  	
Concept	Type of material:	Legos: It is a technique that facilitates - in real time - reflection, communication and problem solving. In regards with our subject, we are going to start by developing individual ideas by service then pooling to define an objective or a solution for the company. 	
	Contribution:	In this stage, the main objective is to build the good practices with the middle managers and employees. They are the cornerstone for energy efficiency improvement, the reason why we want to involve them, as required, to achieve maximum visibility and impact.   	
	Training levels:	Understand: Participants should firstly understand that their energetic performance is not in line with the recommendations.
Analyse: Employees should analyse their daily behaviours, their energy consumptions, the distribution of the energy supply and how it is used. 
Create: Once they have understood and analyse the energy problematics, they will be able to create their corrective actions plan with clear and specific targets. 	
Learning activities	First of all, we are going to form groups of participants of the same service. Then, they are going to specify their different energy uses, and build it by using Legos; this will create a mental involvement of participants completely immersed in their activity. 
For each service we are going to provide cards including good practices and energy efficiency measures for their energy uses, and then we will give their imaginations free rein to implement these solutions only by assembling Lego bricks. Once finished, each group (service) will present its results and consequently links are going to be created if some solutions are indirectly related.
Finally, when good practices will integrate the system very well, we are going to present new innovations and equipment in case new purchases are planned.
