As global sustainability management trends evolve, there’s a renewed focus on energy management and its role in decarbonization.
Constantly changing variables—such as weather, technology, operations, and employee behavior—can have a major impact on the effectiveness of energy management programs. Without the right data, analytics, software and expertise, many companies struggle to devise and implement holistic energy management programs, resulting in lower savings, suboptimal energy performance, and higher carbon emissions.
According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), energy accounts for over 70% of all global GHG emissions. So, before considering alternative or renewable energy sources, which often come at a premium, organizations must first reduce their demand-side consumption. To maximize long-term energy savings, align company leaders, departments, and employees through robust engagement activities to plan a holistic, transformative strategy rather than siloed projects.
In the earliest tactical stage, organizations create a business case around energy efficiency, analyzing consumption and spend data to uncover outliers and build a plan for targeted energy management solutions, procurement criteria, and behavioral changes. As strategic energy management becomes part of the organizational culture and organizations realize savings from early projects, companies can expand their efforts to increase energy savings across their portfolio and reduce carbon emissions. Once organizations have well-established energy management practices, they will be positioned to take a closer look at their value chain and integrate renewable energy solutions into their energy portfolio.
