PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
The result of energy management benchmarking is The result of energy management benchmarking is a series of matrices of target performance and gapsa series of matrices of target performance and gaps
Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 PtsEnergy Policy
No explicit policy An unwritten set of guidelines
Unadopted energy policy set by energy manager or senior departmental manager
Formal energy policy, but not active commitment from top management
Energy policy, action plan and regular review have commitment of top management as part of an environmental strategy
3.0Organising No energy management or
any formal delegation of responsibility for energy consumption
Energy management is the part-t ime responsibility of someone with limited authority or influence
Energy manager in post, reporting to ad-hoc committee, but line management and authority are unclear
Energy manager accountable to energy committee representing all users, chaired by a member of the managing board
Energy management fully integrated into management structure. Clear delegation of responsibility for energy consumption
2.5Motivation No contact with users Informal contacts between
engineer and a few usersContact with major users through ad-hoc committee chaired by senior department manager
Energy committee used as main channel together with direct contact with major users
Formal and informal channels of communication regularly exploited by energy manager and energy staff at all levels
2.5Information Systems
No information system. No accounting for energy consumption
Cost reporting based on Invoice data. Engineer compiles reports for internal use within technical department
Monitoring and targeting reports based on supply meter data. Energy unit has ad-hoc involvement in budget setting
M&T reports for individual premises based on sub-metering, but savings not reported effectively to users
Comprehensive system sets targets, monitors consumption, identified faults, quantifies savings and provides budget tracking
1.5Marketing No promotion of energy
efficiencyInformal contacts used to promote energy efficiency
Some ad-hoc staff awareness training
Programme of staff awareness and regular publicity campaigns
Marketing the value of energy efficiency and the performance of energy management both within and outside the organisation
1.5Investment No investment in
increasing energy efficiency on site
Only low cost measures taken
Investment using short-term payback criteria only
Same payback criteria employed as for all other investment
Positive discrimination in favour of "green" schemes with detailed investment appraisal of all new-build and refurbishment opportunities.

• The example shows strong management support but weak in definition of roles and responsibilities
• Likely outcome is that existing practices will prevail
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
Organisational aspects are key to ensuring Organisational aspects are key to ensuring improvements are achieved and sustainedimprovements are achieved and sustained
• An energy focused organisation requires – a clear energy strategy– motivated and informed personnel– an organisation that supports energy initiatives
• The deliverables of the Organisational Development element are:– An energy strategy – setting clear strategic goals– Organisational alignment – aligning the management team with the
energy strategy and overall business goals– Job profiles – defined roles and responsibilities for the energy team– Behaviour change solutions – performance management processes– Training programmes
