The key takeaways are that energy exists in different forms and can be converted from one form to another. Energy management aims to optimize energy usage and reduce costs and environmental impact.

Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, electrical or other forms.

The objectives of energy management are to achieve optimum energy procurement and utilization, minimize energy costs and waste without affecting production, and minimize environmental effects.

INTRODUCTIO

N TO ENERGY
MANAGEMENT

What is Energy?
Energy is the capacity of the physical system to
perform work. Energy exists in several forms such as
heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential
energy, electrical or other forms.
According to the law of conservation of energy, the
total energy of a system remains constant, though
energy may transform into another form
For example, two billiard balls colliding, may come
to rest, with the resulting energy converting to sound
and perhaps a little bit of heat, at the point of
collision.

What is Energy Management?


The strategy of adjusting and optimizing
energy, using systems and procedures so as to
reduce energy requirements per unit of output
while holding constant or reducing total costs of
producing the output from this systems

Objective of Energy Management


1. To achieve and maintain optimum energy
procurement and utilisation, throughout
the organization.
2. To minimize energy costs / waste
without affecting the production and
quality.
3. To minimize environmental effects.

Why is it Important?
The Global need to save energy
Controlling and reducing
consumption at your organization
Reduce Costs
Reduce carbon emissions
Reduce risks

energy

How to Manage Energy Consumption


1. Metering your energy consumption and
collecting the data
2. Finding and quantifying opportunities to
save energy
3. Targeting the opportunities to save
energy
4. Tracking your progress at saving energy

Energy Management Objectives


Clarified
The basic objective of any Energy
Management System is to answer five
question:
1.How much energy is consumed
2.How is the energy consumed
3.Where is the energy consumed
4.When is the energy consumed
5.What is the quality of the energy
consumed

Principles of Energy
Management
To control the costs of the energy
function or service provided, but not
the MWh of the energy
To control energy functions as a
product cost, not as a part of
manufacturing or general overhead

To control and meter only the main


energy functions
To put the major effort of an energy
management program into installing
controls and achieving results

What is Energy Audit?


The verification, monitoring
and analysis of use of energy
including submission of technical
report
containing
recommendations for improving
energy
efficiency
with
cost
benefit analysis and an action
plan
to
reduce
energy
consumption.

Importance of Energy Audit


The three top operating expenses are energy
(both electrical and thermal) , labour and
materials.
Energy would emerge as a top ranker for cost
reduction
Primary objective of Energy Audit is to
determine ways to reduce energy consumption
per unit of product output or to lower operating
costs
Energy Audit provides a Bench Mark
(Reference Point) for managing energy in the
organization.

Types of Energy Audit


Walk-Through Audit
Utility Cost Analysis
Standard Energy Audit
Detailed Energy Audit

General Procedure for a


Detailed Energy Audit
Step 1: Building and Utility Data
Analysis
Step 2: Walk-Through Survey
Step 3: Baseline for Building Energy Use
Step 4: Evaluation of Energy Savings
