3. What is energy management?
The first target in an energy
management programme is to
raise
awareness
of
energy
consumption and work out exactly
where you might be able to make
improvements. By measuring and
analysing your current usage, you
can identify areas of wastage and
come up with measures to make
energy savings.
The Enistic Energy Manager Starter
Kit is suitable for use on all office-
based electrical equipment, such
as
desk-based
PC
systems,
photocopiers, printers, vending
machines,
audio
or
visual
equipment, televisions, plasma
screens and servers. With this level
of flexibility, you are able to start
measuring how much individual
pieces of equipment cost to run
and
begin
the
process
of
identifying the energy hogs within
your organisation. This information
can
be
used
to
encourage
behavioural change and, over
time, to replace certain devices
with
more
energy-efficient
equipment.
Once targets have been set for
reducing the energy bill and
carbon emissions, it is important to
be able to track the impact of any
behavioural
or
infrastructure
changes,
through
ongoing
monitoring.
Quick savings are usually possible
for most organisations, simply
through
behavioural
changes.
Extensions to your Enistic kit can
easily be purchased as required, to
allow
you,
for
example,
to
automate certain equipment (such
as PCs or overhead projectors) so
that they turn off automatically
overnight and/or at weekends.
Further savings can be made
through longer-term projects, and
ongoing monitoring will help
ensure
that
an
organisation
continues
to
make
progress
towards its targets.
