Follow these steps for successful energy management

• 1. Link energy into key management systems, e.g. ISO 14001, greenhouse gas emission reduction programs, quality systems or occupational health and safety systems.
• 2. Get control over energy use, make sure energy is bought economically, and promote good housekeeping and waste reduction.
• 3. Measure and monitor energy performance, and compare it with previous years as well as internal and external benchmarks.
• 4. Report energy performance simply and clearly to line managers, supervisors and senior management in a format integrated into other planning and business reporting. Back up investment requests with data and a realistic business plan. Take credit for achievements.
• 5. Ask staff for their suggestions and ideas and share the credit for achievements with those who contribute. This motivates people, creates enthusiasm and leads to more success.
• 6. Promote achievements to senior management and staff to generate more support and enthusiasm.
