Energy Management
Erwin Serafica
2020
Energy management is a cost-effective and proactive solution to track, optimize and save energy and in the process mitigate climate change. Energy management can include the following:
a. Monitoring the quantity and pattern of energy use;
b. Quantifying reduction of energy consumption; and
c. Implementing measures to decrease energy requirements without sacrificing productive applications and services.
Managing energy consumption will first and foremost require a fundamental change in mindset; it may start from simple actions such as turning off appliances, using energy-saving devices and appliances such as LED bulbs for lighting or highly efficient variable frequency motors (known as inverter motors) for air conditioning and refrigeration.
Energy management also involves looking at the big picture such as making investments in retrofitting building envelope and cooling systems, financial modelling and planning to estimate future operational cost reduction targets, and/or tapping accredited Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) to facilitate your energy audits and planning.
