Energy Management Good for me, good for you What is energy management?? Energy management is the process of monitoring, controlling, and conserving energy in a building or organization Involves the following steps: Measuring your energy use Finding opportunities to save energy and estimating how much energy could be saved Ex. Find routine energy waste, replace old equipment (e.g. lighting) or changing your buildings insulation. Target the opportunities you can influence personally (i.e. reduce routine waste (turn off unused equipment) or replacing inefficient equipment). Track your progress and see how well your energy-saving efforts have worked. * Click to edit Master text styles What does this look like?
