There is one task associated with this Step:

• 2.10.1 Select opportunities (projects) for implementation

2.10.1 Select opportunities for implementation

Your organization needs to undertake projects to achieve the specific energy objectives and targets established in Step 2.9. However, it is unlikely that management can provide resources for all of the potential projects on your list of energy opportunities.

Review the list of prioritized energy opportunities developed in Step 2.6. When selecting a project for implementation, consider the following:

• The energy objectives and targets you have established,
• The estimated energy savings associated with implementation of the project,
• Organizational constraints, such as
  • Funding requirements or limitations
  • Availability of personnel time (both internal and external, as applicable)
  • Available resources, such as in-house expertise
  • Effect on other organizational priorities

Using this information, select the projects that are feasible for your organization to implement and that will enable it to meet your stated energy objectives and targets. In Step 2.11, you will develop detailed energy management action plans for the selected projects.
