Implementation of energy management in the industrial sectors

Abstract

-Global climate change, scarce energy resources and the increase in energy consumption make action urgently necessary. For everyday life, suggestions and legal regulations have been created to deal with the scarcity of resources and sustainability. In industry, guidelines and laws regulate the handling of resources such as electrical energy. Controlled energy policy and "voluntary" reduction of energy demand, especially in energy-intensive companies, play a decisive role and offer the approach for a possible resolution of this tension through the application of an energy management system. In order to achieve the goal of efficient energy management, a constant individual review of the systems have to take place, for example with the help of the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle at short intervals, in order to offer continuous. This paper ex-amines whether the implementation of measures through standards, directives and regulations is sufficient to achieve the timely energy policy goals. Furthermore, it needs to be clarified whether energy management itself needs to be more in focus.
