STEP 1.2: Establish an Energy Team

Decisions affecting energy use are made every day by people. Creating an energy team helps to integrate energy management.

In addition to planning and implementing specific improvements, the team measures and tracks energy performance and communicates with management, employees and other stakeholders.

The size of the energy team will vary depending on the size of your organization. In addition to the Energy Director who leads the team and possible dedicated energy staff, consider including a representative from each operational area that significantly affects energy use, such as:

  • Engineering
  • Purchasing
  • Operations and Maintenance
  • Building/Facilities Management
  • Environmental Health and Safety
  • Corporate Real Estate and Leasing
  • Construction Management
  • Contractors and Suppliers
  • Utilities
