Interested Parties Affected or concerned with organization’s energy performance • Government entities • Customers • Employees • Neighbors • Others
Examples • Objective: Reduce facility-wide energy consumption 15% by 2020. • Objective: Reduce facility electricity consumption 10% over the next two years. • Target: By end of 2018, reduce electrical energy consumption in administrative operations 2% from 2015 baseline. • Target: Reduce compressed air consumption to allow one compressor to be taken off-line in January 2019. • Target: By end of 2018, reduce natural gas consumption in boiler operations 1% from 2015 baseline.
Success Factors • Stated objectives and targets should be:
Group Activity #2 • What are your organization’s current energy related objectives or targets? • How are these translated for your facility, or department? • How are these communicated to personnel? Contractors? How: Work in your teams Time: 10 minutes What: Answer questions Record answers in notes section of Task 11 We will debrief in class
Energy ReviewNavigator Task 13Improvement Projects: action plans
Navigator Task 13 • Determine: • Actions • Time frames and • Responsible parties • Define verification method • Communicate expectations • Document and update • Take action Improvement Projects Coincides with ISO 50001 - 4.4.6
Relationships Policy Overall direction relative to Energy Performance Objective Supports Energy Policy Objective Long term - Specific Target Specific Measurable Target Achievable Relevant Target Timed Supports Objective Action Plan Was it successful? Action Plan Who? What? When? Action Plan Is it on track? Action Plan Is it complete?
What is Required? Timeframes
Best Practices Define Actions • Ensure actions are well defined, provide sufficient detail • Ensure tasks are assigned to a single person, as opposed to a group or department • Identify any necessary document, process or procedure revisions required by the project • Train employees or contractors on changes implemented due to the project • Continue monitoring and measurement of the project parameters to ensure sustained improvement • Communicate benefits to stakeholders
Best Practices Schedule and Complete Actions • Ensure timeframes set in the plan are reasonable and achievable • Assign responsibility and resources to actions based on required timeframes • Hold regular meetings to review current progress & update plan • Review and update the action plan as necessary • Assign additional resources when needed
Communication & Success Factors Communication Action plans are used as a basis for regular communication with: • Energy team members • Non-team members responsible for implementation tasks • Management regarding status and required resources • Rest of the organization, e.g. internal newsletter • Outside stakeholders, e.g. customers, shareholders
Group Activity #3: Action Plans You have been tasked with developing an action plan for one of the identified opportunities. • Establish an action plan for one of the SEUs identified yesterday. • Fill in the worksheet for the selected opportunity. How:Work in your groups Time:20 minutes What: Use the Activity 13 worksheet Debrief as a full class
Navigator Task 16 • Determine operating & maintenance criteria • Operate & maintain equipment accordingly • Communicate controls to personnel • Operational Control • Coincides with ISO 50001 - Section 4.5.5
Operational Controls: Definition Operational Controls are all the procedures, tools and guidelines that promote the efficient and uninterrupted functioning of critical equipment. Examples include: Criteria - parameters • Operational • temperature, • pressure, • Amperage • Maintenance • Filter replacement • Lubrication • Vibration Procedural- instructions • Operational • Oven start up/shutdown • Paint booth down draft • Peak shaving • Maintenance • Leak repair • Cleaning • Equipment tuning/calibration
Developing Criteria Sources of Criteria: • Manufacturer’s recommendations • System personnel or operational manuals, including automated controls • Minimum process or system requirements • Service personnel suggested operating/maintenance practices • Statistical process control • Benchmarking performance of similar equipment • Guidance from energy system experts (can be in energy assessments) • Internal expert’s suggestions • Past issues or problems
Operational Criteria Operating criteria: • Occupancy time • Temperature • Pressure • Humidity • Control schemes • Set points • Others
Maintenance-Definitions • The primary purpose of maintenance has traditionally been to maintain reliability & availability. • However, effective equipment maintenance also enhances energy efficiency. • Reactive maintenance will undoubtedly waste energy • The cost of the energy will often be more than the cost of the maintenance (also a different budget!) • All significant energy users need to be maintained correctly • Applies equally to external service contracts
Maintenance Criteria & Factors Maintenance criteria: • Filters • Lubrication • Tune-ups, adjustments Maintenance factors: • Operating schedules • Inspection methods & intervals • Start up & shut down frequency • Severity of service
Communication of Controls • On-the-job training • Work instructions or operating procedures • Classroom training • Posted list of specified settings • Logbooks • Email in corporate intranets Identify SEU affected personnel, then….
Operational Control Implementation Methods Procedure Based: • Procedures or work instructions • Equipment logbooks • PM Schedule • Equipment operating procedures • Checklists • Bulletin board postings • Technology Based: • Control systems/HMIs • Alarm/alert systems • Computer automated activities • Preventive maintenance system Training Based: • Maintenance training • Operations training • Contractor training • Better Plants INPLTs • You may already have many operational controls in place – if so, leverage them for energy management!
Barriers to Effective Operational Controls • Implementing controls that are not easy to use, understand or communicate (controls not user-friendly) • Forgetting to include maintenance criteria in addition to operating criteria • Infrequent communication of operational controls – need to tell employees and contractors • Not checking control effectiveness regularly • Failing to improve ineffective controls • Cultural – getting staff accustomed to doing something new
Value to the Organization • Significant savings with small or no capital cost • Sustains Energy Savings • Control energy spending by controlling highest cost uses • Improves uniformity of process • Continuity of processes during personnel changes • Allows operators to help with energy savings
Group Exercise #4: Operational Criteria For the SEU you used in the last activity, brainstorm the operational & maintenance criteria needed to operate & maintain the SEU in an efficient manner. Using the worksheet, list the key operating criteria and maintenance criteria completing any relevant column. How: Work in your groups Time:20 minutes What: Complete SEU Operational Criteria worksheet Record operational criteria in the activity worksheet. We will debrief as a full class. What will it take to complete Navigator Task 16?
