Stage 1 - Audit

For the first time, Energy Manager gives organisations the power to show people their energy use on an individual or departmental basis. This means that corporate energy reduction schemes that are sometimes impersonal and remote are made far more personal and local to the individuals concerned. This leads to a greater sense of responsibility and ownership for your staff members and greatly helps with the complicated process of affecting behavioural change within your organisation.

Stage 2 - Manage

With the Enistic range of energy management solutions, it is not only possible to monitor energy consumption in the office, but also to actively manage it. This allows for control and management of office-based IT equipment, such as desktop computer systems and associated office peripherals including printers, photocopiers and vending machines. With this level of flexibility, you are able to start measuring how much individual pieces of equipment cost to run and begin the process of identifying the energy hogs within your organisation, as well as energy-sapping equipment which could be replaced with less energy-demanding and more environmentally-friendly equipment.

Stage 3 - Target, incentivise and motivate

Energy saving within organisations is often too impersonal as the only measurement that the company really has to play with is their electricity bill. Enistic Energy Manager gives an accurate breakdown of who in your organisation is using what electricity, and the cost of it in both carbon emissions and money.

By giving people ownership over their energy use, you start to influence their behaviour - nothing motivates more than having items billed back to their own P & L account.

If you set targets for the coming quarters to reduce your energy bill, Energy Manager is a precise tool to measure your progress and incentivise success.

Stage 4 - Report

If you want to improve it, you first have to measure it.

Companies that can’t measure their energy use accurately to individual / applicance level are going to struggle with achieving visible reductions in that energy use.

Using Enistic Energy Manager, staff will see exactly how much the electricity cost last month, what their target is this month and how they are doing with their own individual contribution. If they turn their PC off overnight, they will see the savings in the reports and can take ownership of those savings.

Stage 5 - Enforce

With daily personal reports about how each individual or department is performing against their targets, people are far more likely to engage with a programme of energy saving. Change can be effected with minimal managerial input, and success can be rewarded with prizes, such as home energy saving kits. Energy Manager's range of reporting tools gives a powerful message to help reinforce your messages about energy reduction.
