Energy management is a way of working structure with the energy issue and a
standardized energy or environmental management system is a tool that can be
applied. From: Introduction to Industrial Energy Efficiency, 2020.

Energy management is the usage and application of technology including
planning and operation of both production and consumption of energy with a view
to enhance energy efficiency of an organization (VDI, 2007, p. 3).

"The judicious and effective use of energy to maximize profits (minimize costs)
and enhance competitive positions" (Cape Hart, Turner and Kennedy, Guide to
Energy Management Fairmont press inc. 1997)

"The strategy of adjusting and optimizing energy, using systems and procedures
so as to reduce energy requirements per unit of output while holding constant or
reducing total costs of producing the output from these systems"

The objective of Energy Management is
✓ To achieve and maintain optimum energy procurement and utilization, throughout the

✓ To minimize energy costs / waste without affecting production & quality
✓ To minimize environmental effects.

Energy Management Assessments
•An
energy
management
assessment
is
a
process
to
evaluate
an

organization’s
progress
toward
developing
and
improving
an
energy

management program.
•Generally energy management assessments use some sort of scoring system
to rate how far along the spectrum an organization is in a variety of categories,
with particular focus on the cultural and organizational aspects of an
energy management program.
•For example, there is an ENERGY STAR® energy management assessment
tool
available
for
free
download
(it
is
called
the
Energy
Program

Assessment Matrix).
•The tool is a spreadsheet-based matrix that consists of a series of energy
management categories and three possible ratings to score an organization’s
status for each category: “little or no evidence,” “some elements,” and “fully
implemented.”​
