Compressed Air, Boilers (i.e., energy uses offering the most potential for energy efficiency; processes; plant, equipment, fixtures, fittings; buildings and building services; raw materials; water use (energy associated); other services, such as transport).
Energy Drivers: Production Units, Occupancy, Floor Area, Degree Days. (i.e. relevant variables affecting energy use)
Energy Baseline: Electrical (MWhs) Production CG Leads line meter, Electrical (kWhs) Lighting meter, Electrical (MWhs) HVAC meter, Natural Gas (MMBtu) Boiler meter. (i.e. direct metering of SEUs or grouped metering of similar energy use; processes plant, equipment, fixtures, etc.)
EnPIs: Electrical (MWh) Production Quantities, Electrical (kWhs) Lighting Occupancy , Electrical (MWhs) HVAC Degree Days, Natural Gas (MMBtu) Boiler Production units, Total MWhm floor area. (i.e. EnPIs that directly assist in monitoring targets)
Benchmarking: should establish the baseline energy use for each SEU identified in terms of EnPIs, benchmark my EnPI values against best practice EnPIs for similar processes, and benchmark my EnPI values against those of my colleagues in other sites.
Objectives & Targets: Set your targets relative to the Benchmark and best practice guidelines, this may also be tied to corporate targets or legal requirements. (Remember if you don’t know where you want to get to, you won’t know when you’re there!)
Explaining this process brought the customer to consider the “higher level of thinking.”
Bottom line: The customer had plenty of the metering data but needed to integrate this data into an energy management system following Energy Planning – (Steps - and the “ISO mind-set”), to set realistic and achievable objectives and targets.

At Enerit his responsibilities include the delivery and implementation of Enerit ISO energy management software to end customers and partners. He works closely with the internal development team providing feedback on software improvements and direction of Enerit products. He also participates in EU research and development projects focusing on implementing ISO in different sectors. Enerit is focused on developing innovative IT and Software services for energy management. Enerit is the first company in the world to provide comprehensive software for large energy users to implement the international standard in Energy Management ISO . It is the only systematic energy management solution that helps its users convert energy information into dynamic integrated organization-wide action plans to get teams working together to drive down energy costs.
