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! #energy #energymanagement #12daysofchristmas #energyexpert #b2benergyexperts
