Clearly structured and formal energy management could enable you to maximise energy efficiency and achieve savings of up to 20%:
- Work out the occupancy activity levels and the temperature requirements of the process.
- Check the time and temperature settings of any heating and cooling equipment, and compare to occupancy and/or product requirements.
- Find out what your ‘out of hours’ electricity use is.
- Find out who is responsible for switching equipment off at the end of the day.
- Look at how the lighting is managed during both occupancy and out of hours.
- Look at energy bills.
- Ensure everyone is aware of your energy policy.
- Encourage good housekeeping.
