An Energy Master Plan (EMP) can guide an organization in longer-range planning of energy cost reduction and control as part of their facility maintenance, management, and design. An EMP can even lead the energy budget to be recognized as a potential profit center and source of opportunity rather than just another business expense. An EMP moves beyond the confines of traditional engineering to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>energy procurement<\/li>\n<li>energy-related<\/li>\n<li>equipment purchasing<\/li>\n<li>measurement and verification (M&amp;V)<\/li>\n<li>staffing and training, communications<\/li>\n<li>setting energy consumption targets and tracking\/feedback loop systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The long-term perspective goes beyond simply cutting last year&#8217;s energy use. It makes energy awareness part of the everyday operation and &#8220;mindset&#8221; of the organization. If you\u2019re thinking this doesn&#8217;t apply to your firm or clients because you\u2019re too small, think again. This approach works for an organization as small as a single site to an owner with half a dozen small buildings to Fortune 100 companies. The effort and level of detailed varies respectively, but the approach is basically the same.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":438,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-blank-4.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-113","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","no-post-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/113","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=113"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/113\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":799,"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/113\/revisions\/799"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emra.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=113"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
