 Energy Review - Step into
the process

- Do we need to use energy?

- Can we use a cheaper form? Steam
- What are its minimum operating
conditions? Electricity
- Are we operating it to this operating Process
conditions? Chilling
- Then and only then
- Are we distributing it efficiently? Other
- Are we generating it efficiently?

Monitor &
Review

• Develop and monitor Energy Performance

Indicators (EPI)
• Establish a measuring and monitoring system
• Report performance with management regularly
• Management Review annually
Practical Energy
Management

Reality suggests:
• Management commitment is not a given
• Staff time is in short supply
• Staff is technically, not management-oriented
• Limited energy management “infrastructure”

How to manage energy, with no time,

no resources and no management support!
