B2B Energy 12 Days of Christmas – Day 9
Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening, and welcome to Day Nine of B2B
Energy’s 12 Days of Christmas!
Day Nine is
where we start to expand the world of energy management. The key to unlocking
this world is one simple task, and as you know, both Jeremy Carter and I talk
about this regularly: carrying out an energy assessment.
Focus on
what the building is actually doing, on how the people within the building are
using energy, and take a comprehensive view of your energy management efforts
within that space. This approach falls under the principle of review in the
four principles of energy management.
An energy
assessment includes walking the perimeter of the building, assessing the top
floors, and working your way down through the building. Pay close attention to
the plant rooms, focusing on heating, cooling, lighting, power, energy
management, and, of course, water. After assessing the plant rooms, turn your
attention to the metering areas—identify what’s been installed for gas,
electricity, and water, and gather that information.
While you
walk around, be on the lookout for immediate, low-cost opportunities to
improve, as well as medium investment options and potential capital expenditure
needs. All this data will then be compiled into an action plan, which will help
guide your efforts on a monthly basis, supported by the energy dashboard we’ve
discussed previously.
This energy
assessment will form the foundation of your energy management strategy. If you
want to learn more, there are plenty of energy experts who are happy to answer
any questions, including myself and my close friend Jeremy Carter. I’ll be
sharing his contact link in this post so you can reach out to him directly.
Thank you,
and Happy New Year to you all!
