Overview of Energy Efficiency & business potentials
How to start?
How to implement?
Key success factors
What’s next?
Outline
Energy demand projected to increase from 2,000 PJ(2009) to 4,013 PJ(2030), average rate of 3.6% /year
Short term &long term measures that can be taken is through EE initiatives while working on looking for new energy sources (RE& alternative energy)
To balance and reduce the supply and
demand gap

WE NEED TO CREATE
THE EE LINE!
TO QUANTIFY!
ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
SOURCES
High costs
ENERGY EFFICIENT
TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS
Medium-high costs
Require financial & investment risks assessments
SAVE THROUGH BEST PRACTICES & CULTURAL CHANGE – ENERGY
MANAGEMENT
Low-no costs

Energy Supply &
Utilization
ASSET RESPONSIBILITY PERIOD
Energy affects most of the life cycle of assetsEnergy costs affected by the fluctuating global primary energy
market prices – mainly from fossil fuels – depleting resources
Inefficiencies in the business can go unnoticed
Lost opportunities to improve energy use & reduce carbon emissions- may not be acted upon
Unnecessary energy expenditure erodes profits & performance
HOW ENERGY CAN BE SAVED AT BUILDINGS?
Buildings’ energy
savings potential can
range from 3-41%Source: www.energymanagertoday.com
HOW TO START AN
ENERGY MANAGEMENT
PROGRAM AT BUILDING
FACILITIES?
Energy supply/security issues for business continuity
Rising energy prices
Market (customers & investors) expectations on energy & greenhouse performance
Employee expectations
Local community concerns
Legal requirements
Government funding and tax benefits
Maintenance, reliability & other operational issues
#1. CONFIRM BUSINESS DRIVERS
Typical manufacturing companies* can improve their profit margins
by 2% within 3 years
#2. CONFIRM SUBSTANTIAL DIRECT & INDIRECT SAVINGS(ENERGY & NON ENERGY COSTS)
Planning-Study the
Requirements
Understand the needs-Approval Parties
Develop a Methodology to
reach “them”
Evaluate the solution to meet evaluation
criteriaAdvice from experienced people & experts
Outshine Your Competitors
Guidelines to follow, time &
resources available
#3.PREPARE STRONG BUSINESS CASE & PROPOSAL
HOW TO IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVE ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM?Will require long term
planning & consistency in

Energy saving
measures – to bring
results in improving
energy performance
& cost reduction!
No management commitment =
less impacts = forget it!
SUCCESS FACTORS
Key elements to be
considered
• The top management controls
priorities
authorities
resources
• The top management must be engaged &visible!
CONFIRM & SECURE THE
COMMITMENT FROM THE TOP
Without the top
management commitment,
the energy management
program will not succeed!
Guidance attached: Using remote building energy performance assessment auditing technology;
Participating in demand management programs
Ensuring that monthly performance data is entered into the Environmental Protection Agency ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager
Incorporating, where feasible, the consensus-based, industry standard Green Button data access system into reporting, data analytics & automation processes
Implementing space utilization and optimization practices and policies;
Conforming, where feasible, to city energy performance benchmarking & reporting requirements
Installing and monitoring advanced energy meters in all federal data centers
Establishing a power usage effectiveness target of 1.2 to 1.4 for new data centers & less than 1.5 for existing data centers.
EXAMPLE?
In March 2015, President Obama signed an Executive
Order calling for federal agencies to reduce energy
use in federal buildings by 2.5 percent per year from a
2015 baseline, through 2025.
Strong indication of commitment from the top
Top management can judge the performance of its strategy against the agreed targets.
Energy matters will be more likely to be understood & accepted throughout the organization management
Planned activities will be more successful if adequate resources are allocated to energy management
Formalizing
the energy
policy
process
enhances the
chances of
success
INTEGRATION OF ENERGY
MANAGEMENT INTO THE ORGANIZATION’S
EXISTING SYSTEM
Embeds energy management best-
practice energy management in
day-to-day operations
Avoid making energy management as too many
new things to employees
Standardizes processes to ensure
improvements are sustained over time
Skilled & knowledgeable personnel
APPROPRIATE RESOURCING
To build competencies of
the personnel
Ensure &
sustain success
Gather
feedback &
input
All training &
expected
skills acquired
to be
documented
Ensure
understanding
of employees
Sufficient funds for implementation -
influencing company culture, systems & processes
Monitor, verify & promote SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS to build awareness & to demonstrate what is possible
Regularly brief management on energy risks & opportunities
Streamline & adapt project approval processes – to reduce limitations to access for funding for energy efficiency projects
A one stop EnMS data & information system to develop, operate, monitor, & report energy performance results for the organization
To ensure continuous EnMS activities, data & information recording & updating
Controlled with clearly defined roles & responsibilities to maintain & improve the system
The Use of EnMS Tool template based on MS ISO50001:2011 Standard Requirements introduced by UNIDO
EFFECTIVE REVIEW,PLANNING &
ESTABLISHMENT OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY GOALS
Can be translated into business performance
goals & included in management performance
metrics
Energy Baseline(s)
Energy Performance Indicators
Objectives
Targets
Action Plan
PLANNING OUTPUTS
MUST BE AGREED &
WELL-COMMUNICATED!
Adoption of effective energy
management system technologies for
operational controls & key data gathering
Basic data collection & reporting
Computerized management system
with operational controls of key
operating parameters
Implementation of energy performance tracking, measurement & reporting systems
Monitor performance in relation to goals & objectives for top
management updates to seek continuous supports
EFFECTIVE AWARENESS PROGRAM
Effective communication
internally & externally
• To ensures that senior
managers & executives
commit to energy efficiency
• All employees & services
providers play their well-
informed roles in the process
The Challenge: To CREATE awareness & to continue implementing energy efficiency practices in daily life at works & at home
ON-GOING DISSEMINATION OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY INFORMATION & BEST PRACTICES› Awareness talks to employees
› Stickers, posters & newsletters
› Banners & buntings
› Notification to customers, contractors & suppliers
On-going
EnMS Cycle COMPLETE
Ongoing Activities
Training
Communication
Operational Control
Procurement
Energy Efficient Design
Action Plans
System Checking
