The Energy Management Challenge for Owners of Many Buildings
Energy costs in most buildings are escalating year-on-year. Owners are keen to reduce these costs. However, energy consumption reduction efforts never seem to succeed in the medium and long term.
This is illustrated in Figure 1. Sometimes, the management or owners of buildings will raise urgent concerns about energy costs. This can lead to reductions of energy in the short term, but, when management focus returns to other issues more directly related to the main mission of the business, energy consumption normally returns toward previous levels and costs tend to rise year on year.

- How do you get energy expertise and technical support to the sites at modest cost?
- How do you achieve energy savings quickly?
- How do you help managers who are consumed with critical day-to-day business issues to support efforts to reduce energy cost at the sites?
- After an initial active phase, how do you maintain staff enthusiasm about energy savings?
- How do you prevent your energy management programme losing direction over time?
- How do you continue to reduce energy consumption and cost, year after year?
These problems are overcome with Enerit's innovative approach.
