Did your organization meet its annual energy efficiency or CO2 targets? Have you been able to track continuous energy efficiency improvements? If your answer is no then perhaps it’s time to reconsider how you are measuring your energy savings and performance. Without energy performance indicators, it’s like navigating in the dark, you just don’t know where you’re going. You might have implemented the energy efficiency measure, but how can you be sure it actually works?”
This Energy Benchmarking and Performance Indicators training course will cover analysis of different metrics for benchmarking the energy performance of both buildings and production assets. Benchmarks should not only focus on a single most important indicator, but a more diverse range of indicators could help users of benchmarks to take the correct actions. Too few indicators may lead to wrong decision-making. Furthermore, too many indicators lead to fogginess and also to wrong decision-making. Hence the training course will have a balanced approach to indicators.
This Energy Benchmarking and Performance Indicators training course will highlight:
- Integrating benchmarking resulting into improvement and objective setting processes
- Benchmarking definitions and scope
- Assessment and integration of indicators
- Multiple criteria weighted method for decision making
- Learning from failures and major disasters in the energy sector
This training course is intended to achieve raising awareness about current debate and research related to energy consumption at a strategic level. It will also relate stakeholder theory, decision analysis, benchmarking and root cause analysis to the energy sector,
At the end of this Energy Training Centre training course, you will learn to:
- Assess and benchmark the performance of their own organization
- Conduct a benchmarking exercise and use the results to identify and plan opportunities for improvement
- Understand the current agreed metrics on energy consumption
- Develop a decision analysis model for policy selection
- Apply benchmarking of key performance indicators in the energy sector
The training course will include real-time case studies with emphasis on the energy sector. The training course will combine presentations with interactive practical exercises, supported by video materials, activities and case studies. Delegates will be encouraged to participate actively in relating the principles of asset management to the particular needs of their workplace
This Energy Benchmarking and Performance Indicators training course will have a significant impact on the organization. More specifically:
- Understanding of energy, benchmarking and key performance indicators
- Learning from Major Disasters. Understanding risk and resilience management
- Enhance decision-making with goals and criteria & show how to measure and rank them
- Continuous Improvement and the learning organization
- Application of multi criteria decision-making (MCDM) to practical cases that include risk and decision analysis
Participants will gain valuable knowledge and experience. More specifically:
- Establishing importance or priority to rank the alternatives is a comprehensive & general way to look at the problem in a formal manner
- Capability of identification, ranking and selecting appropriate key performance indicators for energy consumption
- Application of advanced techniques for resilience modelling and root cause analysis
- Understand the application of balanced score card to formulate and operationalise strategy
- Appreciate the capabilities of decision analysis software to perform what-if sensitivity analysis
