METHODS FOR

CONSERVATION
 ENERGY COST AND
CONSUMPTION DATA
The first step consists in collecting useful data for
characterizing the energy consumptions of an
industrial plant. We can essentially distinguish
four types of variables which can be collected.

• consumption data

• production data

• environmental data

• technical (users) and operational data

 ENERGY COST AND DATA ANALYSIS
The aim of this step is to analyze and to give an an
interpretation that allows transforming data into useful
information for energy management purposes. At this step
a standard spread sheet is adequate for many applications.
The main analyses concern the following aspects;

Primary energy sources comparison

Specified energy consumption

Current and past comparisons

Time series analysis

Energy consumption

ENERGY FORCASTING AT SUB-METERING ENERGY

PLANT LEVEL USE

The core of the methodology is the

definition of a consumption Sub-metering is a viable option for primary

forecasting model that allows metering where it is not possible or

identifying the specific advisable to interfere with the existing

consumptions of different fiscal meter. For this purpose, a sub-

Moreover it provides the reference

ENERGY BUDGETING AND ENERGY MONITORING
CONTROL AND CONTROL
• This technique is relatively simple, but

Another important feature of very effective to identify energy savings

(downward trending line) or higher rates
energy management and of the
of consumption (upward trending line). If
presented methodology is the energy performance of a building or
planning for future energy of an industrial process is consistent, its

demand. Energy budgeting is an actual consumption will be roughly equal

to the expected values (however
estimate of future energy
calculated). In some periods actual
demand in terms of fuel consumption will exceed expected one
quantity, cost and environmental and in others it will be less, but in the
long term the positive and negative
impacts (pollutants) caused by
variances cancel out and their
the energy related activities.
cumulative sum (‘CuSum’) will remain
roughly constant.
 QUIZ
1-6.) WHAT ARE THE 6 METHODOLOGY

7-10.) As a future mechanical engineers, what can you

contribute to improve the methods in energy management?

11.) What is the first step in methods for energy

management?

12.) This step aims to analyze and interpret data

13.) It is a viable option for primary metering where it is

not possible or advisable to interfere with the existing fiscal
meter.

14-15.) Give any type of variables that can be collected.
