An energy management system helps organizations better manage their energy use, thus improving productivity. It involves:
- developing and implementing an energy policy,
- setting achievable targets for energy use, and
- designing action plans to reach them and measure progress.
A company may choose to achieve the set target of energy efficiency through either of the following ways:
- implementing new energy-efficient technologies,
- reducing energy waste or
- improving current processes to cut energy costs.
- Adopting renewable energy or using sustainable materials.
