Exploring Energy Management
![Page 2: NEED Energymanagement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/55cf9021550346703ba32687/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What is Energy Management?
Energy management is doing more with the same amount of energy or less energy.
Energy management saves money and makes buildings more comfortable, healthy, and safe.

Efficiency vs. Conservation
Efficiency Energy efficiency
involves the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function.
Focuses on the equipment or machinery being used
One example is installing LED light bulbs throughout the house
Conservation Energy conservation
includes any behavior that results in the use of less energy.
Focuses on the behavior of people
One example is using daylighting through windows rather than turning on the lights

National ENERGY STAR® Program
Joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy
National symbol for energy efficiency
Products and/or buildings must meet certain standards to display label
For homes & businesses

How Efficient are U.S. Schools?
Average annual energy bill to run America's schools: $6 billion
A typical school district with 3,000 students spends $400,000 on energy per year.
The least efficient schools use 3 times more energy than the best energy performers.
Top performing ENERGY STAR® labeled schools cost $0.40/square foot less to operate than the average schools.
Luckily, energy is a manageable expense.
![Page 7: NEED Energymanagement](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070412/55cf9021550346703ba32687/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
When we look for ways to save energy in a school, we must keep in mind:
The health and safety of the occupants.
Indoor air quality – adequate ventilation.
The comfort of the occupants.

The envelope should limit:
The amount of thermal energy conducting through.
The amount of air that moves in and out of the building.

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
Energy Star bulbs rated at 25,000 hours.
Can use up to 50% less energy than a CFL.
Widespread use over the next 20 years could reduce lighting energy demand by 33%.
Currently more expensive to purchase compared to incandescent and CFLs.

Light MeterA light meter measures the amount of light in a space in units of foot candles. Spaces that are overly lit may be using more energy than necessary.

Hygrometer
A hygrometer measures relative humidity. Warmer air can hold more moisture, so if cold air is heated, it will feel very dry unless humidified.

Digital Thermometer
The digital thermometer can be used to tell if a room is of the appropriate temperature, and compare how spaces may be infiltrated by thermal energy or moving air. Waterproof versions can also help check the temperature setting of your water heating system.

Kill A Watt meter
This tool allows you to measure how much power (Watts) an electrical device uses at any given time. By changing the display, it will also measure kWh consumed over a period of time. The NEED Project
