Energy Management Plan & Policy
Why ?
Why do we need energy plans and energymanagement policies?Energy management plans and policies are effective
strategies to influence day-to-day operations andbehavioral practicesLow cost to implementCan yield appreciable energy and maintenance cost

Energy Management Plan Specifics
Mission StatementTo be implemented within each of the facilities and/or
campuses; will produce a safe and productiveenvironment for occupants, while simultaneouslyproviding prudent management of financial and energyresources.
Statement of ConcernsThe [City/County/District] is concerned with current and
projected energy costs and power requirements due tocurrent population growth patterns within the area.It is within the best interest of the [City/County/District]
to conserve energy and natural resources.

Acceptable Equipment ParametersEstablish uniform temperature set points for all spaces
Occupied/unoccupied
Monitor and ensure other building parameters (humiditylevels, CO2, etc.) are within acceptable limitsStart/stop times will be adjusted seasonally to avoid
unnecessary runtimesHoliday shut downsProcedure for handling comfort complaint

Alternative Energy SourcesPursue cost effective applications of alternative energy
sources including, but not limited to, PV Solar Arrays, SolarWater Reheat, and alternative fuels
Solar Thermal Pool Heating
Solar PV
WindGeneration

Energy Management Plan & Policy
Water Management ProgramEstablish a program to reduce water consumption. The followingconservation measures should be employed: Investigate the use of water conserving faucets, showerheads, and
toilets in all new and existing facilities.
Utilize water-pervious materials such as gravel, crushed stone, openpaving blocks or previous paving blocks for walkways and patios tominimize runoff and increase infiltration.
Employ Xeriscaping, using native plants that are well suited to the localclimate, that are drought-tolerant and do not require supplementalirrigation.
Utilize drip irrigation systems for watering plants in beds and gardens.
Install controls to prevent irrigation when the soil is wet from rainfall.Establish a routine check of water consuming equipment for leaks and
repair equipment immediately

Integration into Sustainability Planning
STEP 1 – Make a Commitment to Sustainability
STEP 2 – Assess Performance and Set Goals
STEP 3 – Create Action Plan STEP 4 – Implement Action Plan STEP 5 – Evaluate Progress and
Re-Assess STEP 6 – Recognize
Achievements Roadmap to sustainability
through Energy Management

Recap and SummaryEnergy plans can help realize increased cost savings
potential in conjunction with Energy EfficiencyprojectsAwareness and behavioral practices have minimal
upfront cost with appreciable impacts onconservation effortsThe success of the program is dependent upon
total cooperation from every level within thesystem; from the top down
