Implementing an Energy Management Plan not only helps the environment but it also plays a vital role in maintaining a business’ economic viability and establishes creditability with business sustainability stakeholders. The Energy Plan provides a holistic review of a facility’s energy use characteristics and provides a road map to implement the most effective methods to reduce energy use, thereby reducing operating costs and carbon footprint and establishing a cornerstone for sustainability.
To develop an Energy Plan, it is necessary to understand the facility’s energy use characteristics and evaluate:
This process will generate a list of recommended, cost-effective energy efficiency measures and facility upgrades that will provide a road map to reduce energy use, operating expenses, carbon footprint, and, in many cases, improve the health and productivity of the building's occupants. Each of the identified opportunities will be justified using life-cycle cost methods, specifically net present value analysis that weigh initial capital cost and future operating and maintenance cost. In addition, identified energy saving equipment changes may be eligible for utility and/or state energy program rebates and tax credits. These incentives are designed to offset apportion of the added cost of purchasing qualified energy-efficient equipment.
