Complementary Approaches 5% - 7% 12% - 14% 25% - 30% Reviewed and approved by Dr. Wayne C. Turner, PhD, CEM, author of Energy Management Handbook, Seventh Edition. Lilburn, GA: The Fairmont Press, Inc., 2009
Complementary Approaches Mechanical solutions take an important, but different approach to saving energy than Energy Education’s behavioral program:
Consider the Energy Pyramid “No person would ever consider building a pyramid with the peak first. Rather a pyramid is built with the base first and then progressive layers are added until we finally get to the peak.” “Energy Conservation is largely based on behavioral practices to use in a more efficient manner…it is essential to have the cooperation of all people involved with the organization or enterprise for energy conservation to be successful.” “When the energy pyramid is built with energy conservation as the base…then we will be saving energy, saving money, decreasing dependency on imported energy, and improving the environment for this generation and the following generations. That’s a winning combination!” Dr. Dennis Buffington, P.E., CEM, CBE Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering Pennsylvania State University

Energy-Saving Recommendations • First, hundreds if not thousands of recommendations are made to reduce consumption of electricity, natural gas, water, and other utilities.
Energy Education’s Process Second, Energy Education implements a powerful, proven process that consistently turns recommendations into real savings. OurTransformational Energy Management®processchanges consumption behavior by focusing on four critical components…
Coordination + Communication 2 • Communication is key to behavioral change • Everyone who uses energy must be part of the solution • This program will not require lots of extra meetings and time • Must balance the cost of energy with the value it generates • Communication is primarily done one-on-one
Leadership + Focus 3 • Energy Education Specialist (EES) to be hired • Paid for from savings the program generates • Provides hand-on support for your program • Trained by Energy Education • On-site training • National conferences Energy Education Engineers and Consultants Your Energy Education Specialist Your Staff, Board Members & Community
Measurement + Verification 4 • You keep the score! • License utility accounting software (EnergyCAP® Pro) • Software is based on industry standards for measuring savings • Data is entered by the EES directly from utility bills • Adjustments are made to account for non-program variances • Reports show reduced consumption and savings from behavioral changes
