Group Takes UK Government To Task On Opposition To Energy Efficiency Directive
April 4th, 2012
Back in June of 2011, the European Commission proposed a new set of measures for increased energy efficiency, known as the European Energy Efficiency Directive or EED. The directive proposed three simple energy efficiency measures:
- Legal obligation to establish energy saving schemes for all Member States
- Public sector will be called upon to lead by example
- Major energy savings for consumers
The Energy Efficiency Directive is meant to get the European Union where it should and needs to be when it comes to energy efficiency. The UK Government currently opposes a binding 20% energy savings target that is included in the EED.
A collection of 18 businesses, green groups, and professional bodies have banded together to tell the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Davey, that the UK Government’s opposition to the energy savings target will slow the progress of wider environmental goals.
The UK Government’s position on the EED is proving to be confusing for many, and it seems that the coalition isn’t being as ambitious as many would wish when it comes to reducing energy consumption in public buildings. One concern that has been raised is that there is a lack of ambition when it comes to renovations needed for these public buildings to become more energy efficient..
There is no doubt that renovations to these buildings could certainly go a long way in making these buildings more energy efficient. The problem may be that the renovations are viewed as expensive and that may be causing the Government to back off from them as they are now. An alternative to pricy renovations would be an energy management system that can be put in place to monitor and control the energy consumption of existing systems in the buildings already. In fact, we’ve seen organizations reduce energy consumption by 30% through simply monitoring and controlling how and when energy is used.

Industrial Energy Consumption Expected To Reach 288 Quadrillion Btu By 2035
March 14th, 2012
In 2008 industrial energy consumption totaled to 191 quadrillion Btu. That number is expected to increase by roughly 50% by 2035 bringing industrial energy consumption to 288 quadrillion Btu. Along with the rise of energy consumption, energy costs continue to rise as well. With these enormous figures in mind you would think that companies and organizations would be placing energy management and energy efficiency near the top of their priority list, but that isn’t the case.
A recent report by Rockwell shows that many organizations don’t possess the skills, technology, or desire to monitor and evaluate energy consumption even at a facility level. This means that these organizations are unlikely to take an approach to energy management that allows them to accumulate energy consumption data of buildings and the rooms and resources inside those buildings to gain a better understanding of how they can reduce their energy consumption.
The sad truth is many organizations still look at rising energy costs and consumption as just part of the cost to do business. When in reality by monitoring and managing energy consumption these organization can reduce energy consumption by up to 30%, creating significant cost savings.
Energy management solutions are available that allow organizations to track energy consumption across multiple sites and facilities all the way down to individual rooms and resources. By compiling all of this data in easy to understand energy management dashboards organization can then begin to identify trends in the way they are consuming energy and adjust their behavior when it comes to how they consume energy.
Energy management can go beyond simply tracking an organization’s energy consumption. It can actually control energy consumption as well. Making sure that rooms that are left unoccupied don’t continue to consume energy. This is done by integrating occupancy detection devices with energy management systems.
High industrial energy consumption and costs are not just part of doing business. These numbers can be significantly reduced if organizations place energy management higher on their priority list.
