Energy performance baseline

A facilities team has monthly energy bills and production records, but management needs to understand whether consumption is changing because of operating activity or equipment performance. The baseline must give facilities and finance a common basis for comparison.

Illustrative scope of work

• Assess utility, metering and activity records for coverage, consistent units and time periods.
• Identify significant energy uses and the variables that could affect comparison.
• Define a reference period, indicators and review responsibilities. Record data gaps and improvement priorities.
