Industrial Energy Management Using the Practical Energy Management Approach
The United States state of Wisconsins Focus on Energy program is a public benefits program that educates businesses on how they can reduce their energy use and costs. The program attempts to impact energy saving projects and provide sustainable market changes through the use of educational tools, direct technical support, and financial incentives for projects. As a part of this effort the Focus on Energy industrial program developed an energy management tool called Practical Energy Management (PEM). This tool is modeled after the MSE 2000 ANSI standard for energy management. The PEM approach includes a binder and CD designed to provide tools to reduce the time required for a company to implement an energy management program or enhance their existing program. The approach helps a range of company motivations from those looking to just use a basic system for energy management to those companies that want to integrate energy management into an ISO 14000 program. Through this process the Focus on Energy program is attempting to provide a sustainable increase in the market demand for energy efficiency. PEM provides two critical objectives to encourage this market demand. First, it provides immediate results with easy identification of economical efficiency projects with spreadsheets that help quantify energy savings from best practices for sixteen different common systems and develop a project priority approach. Second, it addresses the development of a long-term energy management plan that includes continuous improvement components. This paper will describe the PEM tool, how over 700 companies have been trained to use PEM since 2004, and the recent case study results of using PEM to organize the efforts of energy teams at several large industrial facilities.
