 Environmental Considerations
The energy used by business and industry contributes
to:
– Global environmental problems
(climate change, acid rain, and ozone depletion)
– Energy security problems of a nation

Commercial and industrial energy use accounts for a large

share of :
– The CO2 released by burning fossil fuels
– The SO2 emitted by stationary sources

 Value of Energy Management

• In the U. S., Industrial energy intensiveness has

been reduced over 30% since 1973.

• There is a 30% to 50% improvement potential in the

energy efficiency of a typical commercial or
industrial facility.

 TQM & Energy Management
TQM – Total Quality Management
TQM - an integrated approach to operating a facility
- Energy cost control should be part of overall TQM program

TQM - based on principle that front -line employees

should have authority to make changes and other
decisions at the lowest operating levels of a facility
- Energy management is a natural part of TQM; if employees have
some training in energy management, they can make correct
energy decisions

 Energy Management
Energy management is the use of engineering and.
economic principles to control the cost of energy used to.
provide needed services in buildings and industries.
– Most savings in energy costs will come from improvements in
energy efficiency.
– Some savings will come from changing the patterns of energy
use, and possibly shifting to other sources of energy.
