3.7 Identify people who may have a significant impact on energy consumption
What is this?
There are a number of people in all organisations who have a significant impact on your energy use. These people need to be identified and their level of training or competence evaluated to ensure that they understand their role and the influence they have on energy use.
How to implement
These people can include the following:
Operators of large energy using equipment or processes. They are typically in a position to have a direct significant impact on energy use by how they operate the equipment or process. They typically include boiler and other large utility system operators.
Manufacturing or production process operators.
Manufacturing or production process managers and engineers.
Maintenance personnel including crafts people and their supervisors and engineers. In many cases this also includes external service technicians who carry out maintenance on your SEUs.
Security, cleaning and safety personnel. They typically see facilities in a different way and at different times to most employees. They are often aware of energy waste out of normal working hours.
People who can influence others. This category includes managers, supervisors, team leaders, etc. It is important that they understand their roles from an energy perspective and that they use their positions to positively influence others in the organisation.
People who design and/or purchase energy consuming equipment and projects.
Once the relevant people have been identified, you need to check their knowledge of their role regarding energy use.
Where you identify gaps in their knowledge, you need to plan, deliver and document the relevant training to fill in these gaps.
Identify these people for each SEU.
