Energy Management
ISO 50001 ENERGY MANAGEMENT
• Energy management as a process that
involves optimization of energy use for the best
possible outcomes and taking steps for its
conservation.
• It also includes planning related to the production of
energy and its storage for future usage.
• So, the ultimate aim of this process is not only to save
the cost but also to achieve complete environmental
sustainability.
Energy management is the process of tracking and optimizing
energy consumption to conserve usage in a building.

Energy Management
Building Energy Management Systems monitor and control services such as heating, ventilation and air-conditioning, ensuring the
building operates at maximum levels of efficiency and removing wasted energy usage and associated costs.

Steps for Energy Management
• There are few steps for the process of energy
management:
1. Collecting and analyzing continuous data.
– As a rule of thumb: the more data you can get, and the more
detailed it is, the better it is.
– The modern approach to energy-data collection is to measure and
record energy consumption at short & regular intervals, like for
every (15-30) minute.
– Detailed interval energy consumption data makes it possible to see
patterns of energy waste that would be impossible to see
otherwise.
– Tracking all types of pieces of equipment like lifts, electric panels,
diesel generators, etc. for Energy Management System

Steps for Energy Management
• There are few steps for the process of energy
management:
2. Inspection or Analysis of energy data captured- Identify
optimizations in equipment schedules, set points and flow rates to
improve energy efficiency.
– The detailed data you have collected will be invaluable if it’s not
analyzed to quantify energy-saving opportunities.
– The easiest and most cost-effective energy-saving opportunities
typically require little or no capital investment.
– And this how you can do this-
a.) Use your interval data to calculate how much energy (in kWh) is used
each weekend.
b.) Estimate the proportion of energy that is getting wasted on a daily basis.
– Using the figures from (a) and (b), calculate an estimate of the total
kWh that is wasted each weekend.

Steps for Energy Management
• There are few steps for the process of energy
management:
3. Act accordingly to improve the energy consumption- Calculate return
on investment. Units of energy saved can be metered and calculated just like units of energy
delivered.
– Only by finding the opportunities won’t help you to save energy. One has to take action on
the basis of the data collected and findings done.
Repeat step two to
4. Keep tracking the complete process for continuous future continue optimizing
optimizations- Execute energy optimization solutions. energy efficiency.
– Once you’ve taken actions to save energy, it’s also important to find out how effective
your actions have been.
– Energy savings that come from behavioral changes need ongoing attention to ensure they
remain effective and achieve their maximum potential.
– If you’ve invested money into new equipment, you’ll probably want to prove you’ve
achieved the energy savings you predicted.
– If you’ve corrected faulty timers or control equipment settings, you’ll need to keep
checking back to ensure everything is still working as it should be.
– If you’ve been given energy-saving targets from above, you’ll need to provide evidence
that you’re meeting them, or at least making progress towards that goal.

Energy Management System/ Building
Automation
• An energy management(or monitoring) system(EMS) is an automation-based
system that consists of energy data capturing tools and display devices to
efficiently analyze the energy consumption for desired benefits.
• It solves the problem of lack of proper insights and unplanned saving
initiatives that results in unaccounted energy bills.

Energy Management System
• Analysis tells that energy managers across the globe are now changing their way of working towards
energy analysis.
• As per known figures, 67% of the managers pronounced that the data has affected their thought and
decision-making process.
• The impact was phenomenal where they were able to see savings graphs shooting up to a huge 17%
in just 12 months. And the entire project cost recovery was achieved in 14 to 17 months!.
• But managing energy consumption doesn’t have to be a full-time job. As you’ll achieve much better
results if it’s made a part of the regular routine.

Aspects of Energy Management
1. Facility Management
• Energy Management is a part of facility management.
• Energy management in commercial spaces involves steps to reduce electrical energy
consumption costs, but without compromising the quality of work.
• Save up to 29% of the total energy costs through the implementation of energy
management systems.
2. Energy Management in Logistics Operations & Transportation
• Energy management in Logistics implies choosing the right means of transportation,
routes, performing load optimizations, using fuel-efficient vehicles, and opting for
clean fuels.
• Around 15% of CO2 emissions worldwide are caused by road transportation
operations.
• So, implementing energy management here will not only save transportation costs but
also combat environmental damage and global warming.

3. Energy Management in Manufacturing Industries
• A lot of energy improvement scope also lies in industries. Ensuring best energy
practices in industries will save substantial costs, improve work efficiency, and
will provide a safe working environment. Following measures, if undertaken can
save energy inside the manufacturing plants.
• Replacing old manufacturing machines with modern energy-efficient ones,
• Proper planning of production and maintenance activities,
• Using innovative ways of energy storage devices e.g. lithium-based
electromechanical devices,
• Spatial plannings.
• Using energy-efficient technologies – Like Solar Panels, saving solar energy and
converting it into electricity for use in industries.

4. Energy Management in Energy Procurement Process
• The energy procurement process involves selling/purchasing energy units.
• The poor approach and transactional decisions here may result in increased energy bills
of an organization. So implying energy management here involves taking proactive and
smart buying decisions to save energy costs.
5. Personal Energy Management
• Personal energy management is about managing your physical activities, mental efforts,
as well as your emotional state throughout the day for a happier and healthy life.

Renewable Energy
• Renewable energy, often referred to as clean energy, comes from natural sources or
processes that are constantly replenished.
• For example, sunlight or wind keep shining and blowing, even if their availability
depends on time and weather.
• While renewable energy is often thought of as a new technology, harnessing nature’s
power has long been used for heating, transportation, lighting, and more.
• Wind has powered boats to sail the seas and windmills to grind grain.
• The sun has provided warmth during the day and helped kindle fires to last into the
evening.
• But over the past 500 years or so, humans increasingly turned to cheaper, non- renewable
energy sources such as coal and fracked gas.

Renewable Energy
• Solar Energy
• Solar systems are made up of solar panels (modules),
• a mounting system,
• and a solar inverter with
• computerised controller.
Solar panels produce DC electricity from sunlight.
Then the inverter converts the generated electricity into AC, so that it can be used in
the household. The computerised controller manages the solar system and
ensures optimal performance. If you want battery backup system or an off-the-grid
solar system, a battery is required.

Sustainable Material Selection
• In selecting building materials, it is recommended to use materials which are durable
and locally produced and obtained from renewable sources; the reasons being that:
– Natural materials are less energy-intensive and polluting to produce and contribute less to indoor air
pollution.
– Local materials have a reduced level of energy cost and air pollution associated with their
transportation, and can also help sustain the local economy.
– Durable materials can save on energy costs for maintenance as well as for the production and
installation of replacement products.
