Why Energy Management?

Energy is a critical component to your organization’s operations. It’s important to realize that energy is something that can be managed and controlled; it’s not a fixed overhead cost. Energy management helps to reduce your organization’s energy costs through improved energy performance and optimized use of energy sources and energy-related assets. No matter how large or small your organization, implementing some form of energy management can be a key step to save energy, cut costs, and stay competitive.

Energy management is a culture for continual improvement of energy performance and efficiency that’s integrated within an organization’s normal business practice. It positions an organization to achieve energy and cost savings through informed decision making and the implementation of energy saving practices for facilities, processes, equipment and operations.

Organizations of all types, including commercial, industrial, and government facilities, can most effectively manage their energy by implementing an energy management program. The benefits of energy management include:

Improved profits
Reduced energy costs
Improved processes
Reduced emissions
Reduced risk to energy price fluctuations

Implementing an energy management program will help your organization ensure these benefits are continuous, rather than one-time results. Given today’s increasingly competitive global market, proactively and strategically managing energy can be vital to your organization’s long-term success. Learn how the DOE eGuide can help.
