COMPANY ENERGY EFFICIENCY METHODOLOGY
Step 5 Task 5b: Evaluation meeting with top management

 


An evaluation meeting between the Team and top management is necessary to formally close the first round of energy efficiency projects. But a second purpose is to gain their commitment to continue with energy efficiency.

At this 2-4 hour meeting discuss the following:

  • Results of the implemented options and how to communicate these internally and externally (see Company examples on how to do this)
  • How to continue to improve the company’s energy efficiency by agreeing with top management
    • Additional options for implementation (ranked 2 under task 3b)
    • Additional options for further investigation (ranked 3 under task 3b)
    • New focus areas to carry out more assessments (e.g. based on the list of possible focus areas from task 1d)
  • How to integrate energy management throughout the company’s systems by agreeing with top management actions needed under the six categories of the Energy Management Matrix (see Worksheet 3)
    • Policy and systems
    • Organization
    • Motivation
    • Information systems
    • Training and awareness
    • Investment

Therefore this evaluation meeting could also be used as a first meeting with top management (task 1a) as part of a new cycle. See Company examples for examples from companies that participated in the GERIAP project on how they managed the evaluation meeting with top management.
