Energy Manager

plans, regulates and monitors energy use in an organization or

facility

Aim to improve energy efficiency by evaluating energy use

and implementing new policies and changes where necessary

Does not wait for action to happen and searches for all possible
opportunities

Keep educating himself about the ways and methods to reduce

the energy
Energy Audit“
Energy audit is a systematic study or survey to identify how
energy is being used in a building or plant, and identifies energy
savings opportunities

.”Definition : “The verification, monitoring and analysis of use of

energy including submission of technical report containing
recommendations for improving energy efficiency with cost
benefit analysis and an action plan to reduce energy
consumption”.
Energy Auditor Has to be very sound both technically and
commercially

Should be having rich experience in working of the plants and

equipment

His observations has to be comprehensive and not just limited to

Management

Have to take a call over which procedure or action plan has to be

implemented

Although Energy Auditor is expected to weigh pros and cons about

any proposed measure suggested for implementation but role of
management in ensuring that proper budgetary support and
framework is provided, is of paramount importance.
Good maintenance practices and good energy management go
hand in hand
Good maintenance practices and good energy management go
hand in hand.
Some of the highest rates of return on energy conservation are
generated simply by performing maintenance.
Preventive maintenance is still critical, and reactive maintenance
(waiting for a crisis to occur) is still foolish, despite funding
limitations.
It is easy to ignore preventive maintenance when systems are new,
calibrations are precise, seals are tight, and heat-exchanger
surfaces are clean.
As systems age, these and other items need care.
Maintenance Vs. Energy Management

Serve different purposes

One cannot be substituted for the other

For example, cleaning light-fixture lenses and re lamping

them is good maintenance; installing more efficient lamps
and ballasts is good energy management.

These distinctions must be remembered when budgets are

being prepared.
Importance of Energy Management

The primary objective of energy management is to achieve and

maintain optimum energy procurement and utilization throughout
the organization which may help in minimizing energy costs and
justifying environmental effects

In fact, energy management is widely acknowledged as the best

solution for direct and immediate reduction of energy consumption
Managing and reducing energy consumption not
only saves money but also helps in mitigating
climate change and enhancing corporate reputation

Energy should be regarded as a business cost, like

raw material or labor

Substantial reduction in energy bills

Why reduction and control of energy usage is
vital for an organization??

1. Reduces costs:The most convincing reason for

saving energySave up to 20% on fuel cost by
managing energy use

2. Reduce risk:Helps to reduce risk of energy price

fluctuations and supply shortages
3. Reduces undesirable environmental effects :
Reduces carbon emissions and undesirable
environmental effects

Carbon emissions from energy use dominate the total

greenhouse gas emissions of most organizations

Reducing carbon footprint helps build a ‘green’

image thereby generating good business opportunities

Sound energy management - integral part of carbon

management, helps organizations in effective overall
environmental management
Some important roles and responsibilities of Energy
Management Cell.

Prepare an annual activity plan and present to

management concerning financially attractive investments
to reduce energy costs

Establish an energy conservation cell within the firm with

management's consent about the mandate and task of the
cellInitiate activities to improve monitoring and process
control to reduce energy costs
Responsibilities of Energy Managers
1.Prepare an annual activity plan and present to management concerning financially attractive investments to reduce
energy costs.
2.Establish an energy conservation cell within the firm with management’s consent about the mandate and task of
the cell.
3.Initiate activities to improve monitoring and process control to reduce energy costs.
4.Analyze equipment performance with respect to energy efficiency.
5.Ensure proper functioning and calibration of instrumentation required to assess level of energconsumption directly
or indirectly.
6.Prepare information material and conduct internal workshops about the topic for other staff.
7.Improve disaggregating of energy consumption data down to shop level or profit center of a firm.
8.Establish a methodology how to accurately calculate the specific energy consumption of various products/services
or activity of the firm.
9.Develop and manage training programme for energy efficiency at operating levels.
10.Co-ordinate nomination of management personnel to external programs.
11.Create knowledge bank on sectoral, national and international development on energy efficiency technology
and management system and information denomination.
12.Develop integrated system of energy efficiency and environmental upgradation, Wide internal & external
networking.
13.Co-ordinate implementation of energy audit/efficiency improvement projects through external agencies.
14.Establish and/or participate in information exchange with other energy managers of the same sector through
association.
