CADDET Analyses Series 19, May 1996
A significant reduction in energy use in commercial buildings (up to 50%) can be achieved cost-effectively through a combination of energy management techniques and existing energy efficient technologies. That is why countries, through IEA programmes such as Energy Conservation in Buildings and Community Systems (BCS) and CADDET, are collaborating to facilitate and accelerate the introduction of new energy conservation and environmentally sustainable technologies into buildings and community systems.
An effective building energy management system is essential to ensure that energy savings are sustained while ensuring an indoor environment that maximizes the comfort and performance of occupants. To be successful, an energy management programme demands full organizational commitment, at both the management and occupant levels, a dedicated and knowledgeable energy manager, and a set of effective tools to audit and justify energy measures based on life-cycle cost.
This report presents these important elements of the energy management system and highlights their application and success through concrete examples from a number of countries.
