Book Synopsis Energy Management in Business by : Kit Oung
Download or read book Energy Management in Business written by Kit Oung and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-02-28 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The business benefits of lower energy consumption are clear: lower energy costs, energy tax avoidance, selling excess CO2 credits, immediately adding savings to the bottom line and improved competitiveness. However, with a need to focus on day to day business management activities, implementing energy reduction programmes stretches the capabilities and know-how of responsible managers. Kit Oung’s Energy Management in Business is an expert's guide to energy reduction. It covers four important aspects of managing energy: strategy for successful implementation, available tools and techniques, generating sustainable quick wins and active management involvement. This book offers distilled practical concepts with real life case studies chosen to build insight, and illustrate how managers and engineers can relate to a broad range of energy reduction opportunities. We take energy for granted, like the air we breathe. We need to engage employees with energy management in two ways. In a more general sense, for those using energy for normal working practices, awareness and behaviour change are key. For those with more direct influence over energy using systems, engagement is also fundamental. Energy Management in Business places the process firmly in the context of commercial and industrial business practice. The book is an excellent companion for any organisation seeking ISO 50001 certification and a reduced energy consumption, as well as those that simply wish to better understand the options, strategies and risks that every business now faces.

Download or read book Zero and Net Zero Energy written by Getu Hailu and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-11-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing concern about fluctuating energy prices, energy security, and the impact of climate change. Buildings are amongst the primary energy consumers in the world. This fact underlines the importance of targeting building energy use as a key to decreasing any nation's energy consumption. According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Research Strategic Plan 2010-2015, even limited deployment of Net-Zero-Energy buildings within this timeframe will have a beneficial effect by reducing the pressure for additional energy and power supply and the reduction of GHG emissions. The building sector is poised to significantly reduce energy use by incorporating energy-efficient strategies into the design, construction, and operation of new buildings and retrofits to improve the efficiency of existing buildings.
Book Synopsis Energy Reduction Strategies for Existing Air Force Healthcare Facilities by : Jose Israel Ramos
Download or read book Energy Reduction Strategies for Existing Air Force Healthcare Facilities written by Jose Israel Ramos and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal buildings are required to reduce 30% of their energy use intensities (energy use per square foot) by 2015 and 37.5% by 2020. Additionally, 15% of federal buildings are required to achieve an Energy Star Rating of 75 or above by 2015. Despite rigorous efforts, current Air Force healthcare building performance reveals only a 15% decrease has been achieved from the 2009 baseline levels and only 12% of the building inventory holds the Energy Star Rating. Projections similarly reveal full compliance by 2020 may not be achievable, therefore, the need for a comprehensive and more robust effort is proposed. This thesis seeks to develop a road map for the Air Force's 68 existing healthcare buildings towards compliance by 2015. A methodology has been developed that leverages the Air Force's state-of-the-art energy efficiency strategy, the building energy performance analysis for 68 healthcare facilities including ten in-depth case studies, and multi-agency interviews to produce the road map. Strategic energy management plans, building system retrofits, whole building retro commissioning, occupant behavior and medical equipment plug loads and standby loads have been assessed. Investment costs, energy savings, and return on investments present timeline objectives intended to deliver a comprehensive strategy towards energy savings in Air Force healthcare facilities by 2015. Findings indicate that an energy master plan that incorporates a systematic building diagnostics approach targeting HVAC equipment and system operations as the most effective strategy. The results reveal that HVAC retrofits and implementation of no cost measures such as temperature setpoints and setbacks collectively reduce building energy use by 85% and energy use intensities by 50% by 2015. Projections include a total budget request of $43.5 million, annual cost savings of $4.1 with a 9.4% return on investment.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buildings are the largest energy consuming sector in the world, and account for over one-third of total final energy consumption and an equally important source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Achieving significant energy and emissions reduction in the buildings sector is a challenging but achievable policy goal. Transition to Sustainable Buildings presents detailed scenarios and strategies to 2050, and demonstrates how to reach deep energy and emissions reduction through a combination of best available technologies and intelligent public policy. This IEA study is an indispensible guide for decision makers, providing informative insights on: cost-effective options, key technologies and opportunities in the buildings sector; solutions for reducing electricity demand growth and flattening peak demand; effective energy efficiency policies and lessons learned from different countries; future trends and priorities for ASEAN, Brazil, China, the European Union, India, Mexico, Russia, South Africa and the United States; implementing a systems approach using innovative products in a cost effective manner; and pursuing whole-building (e.g. zero energy buildings) and advanced-component policies to initiate a fundamental shift in the way energy is consumed.
Book Synopsis Good Strategy Bad Strategy by : Richard Rumelt
Download or read book Good Strategy Bad Strategy written by Richard Rumelt and published by Currency. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Good Strategy/Bad Strategy clarifies the muddled thinking underlying too many strategies and provides a clear way to create and implement a powerful action-oriented strategy for the real world. Developing and implementing a strategy is the central task of a leader. A good strategy is a specific and coherent response to—and approach for—overcoming the obstacles to progress. A good strategy works by harnessing and applying power where it will have the greatest effect. Yet, Rumelt shows that there has been a growing and unfortunate tendency to equate Mom-and-apple-pie values, fluffy packages of buzzwords, motivational slogans, and financial goals with “strategy.” In Good Strategy/Bad Strategy, he debunks these elements of “bad strategy” and awakens an understanding of the power of a “good strategy.” He introduces nine sources of power—ranging from using leverage to effectively focusing on growth—that are eye-opening yet pragmatic tools that can easily be put to work on Monday morning, and uses fascinating examples from business, nonprofit, and military affairs to bring its original and pragmatic ideas to life. The detailed examples range from Apple to General Motors, from the two Iraq wars to Afghanistan, from a small local market to Wal-Mart, from Nvidia to Silicon Graphics, from the Getty Trust to the Los Angeles Unified School District, from Cisco Systems to Paccar, and from Global Crossing to the 2007–08 financial crisis. Reflecting an astonishing grasp and integration of economics, finance, technology, history, and the brilliance and foibles of the human character, Good Strategy/Bad Strategy stems from Rumelt’s decades of digging beyond the superficial to address hard questions with honesty and integrity.
