Energy management

Setting and implementing an energy management policy has helped ANZ National Bank achieve significant energy savings.

Part of their energy management programme, evaluated the lighting used in their premises. Installing more efficient lighting tubes has created a direct energy saving worth around $50,000 a year. Further savings were achieved in electrical maintenance, where costs have dropped from $150,000 a year to around $10,000.

Th is booklet outlines why and how schools can reduce energy use and cost. Why schools are considering energy efficiency is summarised in the introduction; how they are going about it is detailed in four case studies.

There are three planning templates and a schedule to assist schools. Those schools that have built energy efficiency into the curriculum have been especially successful in making change to their energy-use practices.

In a complex plant or business, energy information can be overwhelming. Energy management software allows organisations to monitor and report energy use, check it against benchmarks and target energy efficiency.

This case study outlines what is available.

Processing the energy bills for over 100 sites across New Zealand was a monster job. The sheer flood of paperwork meant there was little opportunity to check or analyse, especially when deadlines for prompt payment discounts were looming.

So, The Warehouse implemented an energy monitoring and targeting (M&T) system.
