Energy Management:

Energy management is the art and science of optimum use of energy to maximise profits (minimise
costs) and thereby improve the economic competiveness.
The energy should be used efficiently, economically and optimally.
Energy management can also be defined as the science involving planning, directing, controlling the
supply and consumption of energy to maximise productivity and comforts and minimise the
energy costs and pollution with conscious, judicious and effective use of energy.

The energy management involves strategy, policy, organisational changes, energy audit, energy
conservation measures, administrative actions, training and awareness programmes, monitoring of
energy conservation efforts etc.
Energy management is an important management function of every organisation (like production,
finance, marketing, planning, and design). Energy organisation must have a written energy
management policy document and the top management must be committed to implement the energy
policy. The energy objectives must be known to energy executive and supervisor. The energy must be
monitored vis-a-vis the production.
Steps for Energy Management:
Energy management involves the following basic steps:
1. Energy management as Policy and Commitment.

2. Selection of energy manager and defining his responsibilities;

i. Energy planning,
ii. Monitoring energy consumption,
iii. Planning energy conservation,
iv. Implementing energy conservation measures,
v. Achieving energy conservation objectives.

3. Formulation of energy strategy and energy conservation plan.

4. Bring awareness and involvement at various levels by means of training programmes, workshops,
communication, in-house journals.
5. Introduce suggestion scheme and award scheme.
6. Appoint energy audit team/consultants.
7. Obtain report on energy conservation measures.
8. Establish practice of monitoring energy consumption and effectiveness of energy conservation
measures.
9. Adopt new technology measures.
10. Adopt recycling of scrap, avoid wastage etc.
11. Carry out modifications, retrofitting or replacement of existing plant/machinery so as to save
energy.

Objectives of Energy Management:

1. Objectives of supply side:

To formulate energy strategies, plan energy supply on short term, mid-term and long term basis and to
ensure adequate supply of various forms of secondary (usable) energy to various consumers in the
allocated geographical zone with minimum cost and minimum environmental pollution, to regulate
energy flow.
2. Objectives of End-user side:
To select optimum energy forms for consumption and to optimize energy consumption of each form
of energy for reducing energy costs and for improving productivity, standard of living and
environment.
In accordance with this generic objective, every end-user organisation should have an energy
objective statement in written form as a management policy statement. This is an obligatory function
for every organisation on supply side and demand side in individual and national interest.

Part -2 ( energyplus houses)

The fastest and least expensive way to slow climate change : is use less energy.

Thermographic photography offers clues to where energy is being wasted in older houses.

Scientists have reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few
years ago and the consequences could be serious if you don’t keep reducing emissions of carbon
dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere

The average US households produces about one £50 of carbon dioxide a day by doing commonplace
things like turning on air conditioning or driving cars.

How to close could we come to a lifestyle the planet could handle?

How?
Convert half of all light bulbs s to compact fluorescent this would reduce carbon dioxide emission
from lightings.

Turn off computers when not in use

Adapter plugs keep using power even when the appliances they are connected to are turned off.

Water heater alone consumes 12% of the houses energy

Using energy star labelled appliances would help reduce carbon footprint

A Walmart pilot supercentre in Las Vegas consume up to 45% less power than similar stores in part
by using evaporative cooling units ready and floors high officiant C refrigeration and natural light in
shopping areas.

Because aircraft exhaust is released at high altitude scientists say it has a greater impact on climate
then the same emissions at ground levellight is shopping areas.

Focus should be on better insulation in house is more efficient lights in offices better gas mileage in
cars and smarter processes in industry

Yet efficiency in the end can only take us so far , to get the deeper reductions we Must replace fossil
fuels faster with renewable energy from wind farms ,solar plants geothermal facilities and biofuels
,we must slow deforestation which is an additional source of greenhouse gases and we must develop
technologies to capture and bury carbon dioxide from existing power plants . efficiency can buy us
time perhaps as much as two decades to figure out how to remove carbon from the worlds diet

Sweden has already pioneered carbon neutral houses ,Germany affordable solar power ,Japan full
efficient cars and Netherlands prosperous cities are filled with bicycles.
