Energy Management, The innovative approach for the new century

An Energy Management System provides a framework for industrial facilities to manage on-going energy use as well as identify opportunities to adopt energy saving technologies, including those that do not necessarily require capital investment. In addition, the outcome of a successful Energy Management system is not just a reduction in energy use and cost, but also a multitude of other non-energy efficiency benefits such as productivity, quality, resource management, decreased liability and asset values. It also often has the potential to achieve considerable energy savings through operational change alone, rather than through capital-intensive technology changes.Energy costs are often treated as a fixed overhead by organizations. But by taking the right approach to energy management, it is possible to make considerable savings. Successful energy management must combine an effective strategy with the right practical interventions. Many organizations would like to save energy, but they need to make energy management an integral part of running the organization to ensure success. Energy management standards will provide a viable policy mechanism for encouraging energy efficiency in industrial facilities.
