What’s Sustainable Energy Management
• Sustainable Energy Management is the process of managing the energy
consumption in the organisation to assure that energy has been efficiently
consumed.

• It covers all aspect of energy consumption in the organisation and involves not
only machines or equipment that consume energy but also looks for the best
operation from the operators.

• To set up effective energy management in the company, you have to start from
top to bottom.
What’s Sustainable Energy Management
(cont..)
• A company structure and policy that support the energy management activities
are the most importance components of a successful energy management

• Apart from that, an energy manager who fits into the company structure will be
the one who drives all mechanism to get the best results.

“With good company structure and policy, the energy manager will be able
to achieve his/her energy management goals”
Principle of The System
• A sustainable energy management system need full support from all levels of
staff in the organisation. The principle of the system is very much to focus on how
to get the support from both the organisation and staff.

• A good system has to:

• Comply with wider organisation objectives/goals
• Be able to raise staff awareness and get involvement from all staff in the organisation
• Develop organisation and staff knowledge
• Support the continuous improvement process in the organisation
• Be able to integrate with standard working procedure or other quality systems in the
organisation
Benefits of Sustainable Energy Management
System
• It will assist the company:
• Setting up systematic energy cost management to achieve energy cost saving
• Reducing operation and maintenance cost
• Increase staff awareness fro energy conservation and waste minimization
• Developing organisation and staff knowledge in energy management
• Setting up an energy target & plan
• Setting up M&V procedure
• Preparing energy reporting system
• Supporting other quality systems such as ISO 140001, Total Quality Management, TPM etc.
 “Without sustainable energy management system, the
organisation will not be able to control and maintain the saving result”

 B.Organisation Preparation

• After understanding the current status of organisation, the

energy manager will be able to make recommendations to
improve all elements of the energy management system.

• Normally, the tasks in this stage will consist of:

- Define an energy policy
- Set up an energy management committee or team
- Indentify Energy Accounting Centres (EACs)
- Prepare process mapping for each EAC
- Indentify control paramaters (energy data) for each EAC
(input/output)
 B. Organisation Preparation
(cont..)
- Set up the overall energy index, and appropriate energy index for
each EAC.
- Determine the overall energy baseline and energy saving target
(overall for each EAC)
- Measure and record control parameters (energy data)
- Data Analysis (using energy index or energy scatter diagram or
CUSUM technique)
- Prepare an operational guideline for each EAC
- Conduct awareness training for all staff
- Control the overall energy index and energy indexes for each EAC by
follow up recommendation in operational guideline
 C. Implementation of Energy
Conservation Measures (ECMs)
In order to achieve energy saving target, ECMs has to be
identified and implemented. There are five main tasks in this
step:

Set up Sustainable
Conduct energy audit Select ECMs that have
Improvement Team
(preliminary or been identified in
(SITs) to implement
detailed audit) energy audit
each ECM

Conduct technical
training for
Set up budget and

implementation plan

 D. System Integration

• The last step of roadmap is to integrate energy

conservation practice into the working procedures of the
organisation so that continuous improvement will be
achieved.
 D. System Integration (cont..)
There are five main tasks in this stage:

Conduct
Set up post- system
audit and training (to

Set up understand
