Energy Benchmarking and Performance Indicators
Decisions, Stakeholders Analysis, and Learning from Failures
5-Day Training Course
Course Overview
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
