Energy Performance Management in an Industrial Site: Definition and Application of a Specific Methodology for Carbon Emissions Reduction
- 1 University of Bourgogne, Dijon, France
Abstract
Global warming continues to accelerate. It is essential that we all (individuals, government, organization s, etc.) make sustainable action for reducing carbon emissions for the future of the planet and for the next generation. The global decarbonization is now on the top list for every government, public institution, and private compan y . This article contains a strategy to manage energy performance in an industrial site based on the research in an industrial pharmaceutical company in France. Most of the principles also apply to non-industrial site s (e.g., administrative buildings). Several linked thematic are developed such as organization, culture, communication, partnership, audits, project management, cost control, metering, targeting, and monitoring. The concept of sobriety is also studied in this article. The implementation and the adaptation of an energy performance management through the years has led to divid e by 2 the carbon emissions (and costs) of the site in this study .
