Energy Future, Why the pressure on energy


use will not go away
What is in your
future? • World energy consumption has risen 45% since 1980. It is projected to be
70% higher by 2030.
• Emerging markets (including China and India) account for more than 75%
of new demand placing new pressures on global resources. Meanwhile,
mature markets such as North America, Europe and Japan will also face
increased demand and limited resources. These mature markets will
continue legislating to reduce consumption, shift to alternative energy
sources, and improve energy security.
• Increased resources competition and political instability will cause oil and
natural gas prices to remain at or above current levels for the foreseeable
future. Coal will continue to be a cheap and plentiful resource especially
in emerging markets. This will maintain pressure on reducing emissions
and sustain the need for global climate change actions.
• More than ever, global warming is at the top of the agenda. Environmental
concerns and public opinion on climate change will drive continued actions
by legislators, opinion leaders, and special interest groups forcing industry
to respond.

The trends we see now will continue for the next 25 years.

Energy management yields significant rewards to the bottom line.


• Decisions on investment criteria and payback can be balanced against
the strategic sustainability vision of a company.

Energy success demands an organisational process that improves business


performance.
• Executive management must commit:
- Formulate, communicate and embrace an energy management policy.
- A champion committed and responsible to achieve results is needed.
- Capable to monitor and impact change throughout the organisation.
- Methods and tools to collect, analyse, and report energy information
are necessary.
- Detailed breakdowns are crucial to drive change.
- Legislation may demand disclosure.

How can I optimize my energy consumption and spending? 31

Diagnosing energy consumption and


cost allocation is a key first step to achieve
reduction.
• Energy Use Analysis solutions provide the
means to understand energy consumption of
all relevant utilities (Water, Air, Gas, Electricity,
Steam). Cost allocation and sub-billing reports
enable building or factory owners to hold tenants
and cost centres more accountable for energy
costs. Subsequent actions can reduce overall
energy usage by 8 to 10%!
In addition, minimizing risk and maximizing value
through secure stable electricity contracts
is a high priority for energy managers and
executives.
• Energy Tariff Optimization solutions can
have significant impact on overall utility costs.
Businesses can optimize the cost of their energy
if they have the knowledge and expertise to
negotiate advantageous supply agreements.
Maximum savings can be gained with strategies
to fully leverage the best available tariffs.
