As a result, you can see the dark brown ceiling with white ceiling elements and silver pipes stretching across the entire ceiling in the background. In the lower left part of the background, you can see several office desks and glass partitions. You can also see a man sitting with his back to the viewer. On the right, in the background, you can see more glass partitions, more office desks and chairs and a white wall with two large bright windows. The entire background is blurry, as the photo focuses on the man sitting at a white office desk with a light grey laptop in the foreground, from which the photo was taken. The man is wearing a light blue shirt with a dark blue jumper over it and black square glasses. His hair and beard are greying, and he is smiling as he talks to a customer about their Energy-Management-Minute-Review provided by ista.

What is energy management?

Energy management revolves around systematically monitoring, controlling and improving energy consumption. The aim is to prevent waste, reduce costs and increase efficiency. Data, technology and smart strategies play a central role in this, ensuring that energy is used as effectively as possible and that sustainability goals are within reach.

 

The most important aspects of energy management:

  • Monitoring and control: Track consumption, identify waste and provide data for better decision-making.
  • Data analysis: Identify patterns, trends, and inefficiencies in consumption data to find targeted savings opportunities.
  • Optimisation: Adjusting equipment settings, improving processes and applying efficient technologies.
  • Cost reduction: Reduce total energy costs by reducing consumption and waste.
  • Environmental responsibility: Reduce CO₂ emissions and support sustainable business practices.
  • Compliance: Meet legal requirements and internal sustainability targets.
  • Business resilience: Limit the risks associated with energy price fluctuations.

In short, energy management is a proactive approach that delivers cost savings, environmental benefits and greater operational efficiency. It provides the data and strategy needed to effectively monitor changes, identify problematic assets and implement solutions. Ultimately, your organisation will save money on the energy needed to maintain continuity and on overall operational expenditure.
