use will help identify opportunities to improve energy
performance and gain financial benefits. The audit will
establish a baseline and provide options for improving
energy efficiency.
STEP 2 Make a Commitment. No matter the size or
type of an organization, the common element of successful
energy savings is commitment. Make a commitment
to allocate staff and funding to achieve improvement.
To establish their energy program, leading organizations
form a dedicated energy team and institute an energy
policy.
STEP 3 Set Goals. Well-stated goals guide daily decision-
making and are the basis for tracking and measuring
progress. Communicating and posting goals can
motivate staff to support energy management efforts.
STEP 4 Develop a plan. Your organization is now
poised to develop a road map to improve energy performance.
Create a detailed action plan to ensure a
systematic process to implement energy performance
measures.
STEP 5 Implement the plan. People can
make or break an energy program. Gaining
the support of key people at different levels
within the organization is an important factor
in successful implementation. In addition,
reaching your goals frequently depends on
the awareness, commitment, and capability
of the people who implement the projects.
Evaluate the progress of the action plan as
compared to your performance goals. Update
the plan, identify best practices, and set
new performance goals as necessary.
Communicate
Your Way to
Energy Savings
To help employees
understand
the cost of their
actions, such
as leaving the
lights on at night,
effective communication
might
include calculating
the cost of an
hour of lighting
at full capacity.
Equate the potential
savings to
something meaningful
to your
organization.
Raise the importance
of energy
conservation
during Energy
