Working Groups
To be used in tandem with the High Performance Portfolio Framework, this checklist asks questions examining whether or not a broader energy management system is in place at your company.
“Do you have an energy management focus in your properties?”
When asked this question, most office professionals respond with an emphatic “Yes.” But how does one define effective energy management? What specifi c actions represent a comprehensive program, and does this refl ect your firm’s efforts?
While there is no single approach that applies to all companies, there are some best practices generally acknowledged to give the greatest chance of success. Detailed in The High Performance Portfolio Framework, you may already utilize some of these key strategies, while others may be quite new, or defined a little more explicitly.
Use the checklist in thinking about your current practices, and consider the techniques you currently utilize.
Each question examines a specific situation, reflecting whether or not a broader energy management strategy is really in use. If the answer is “Yes,” you are most likely effectively deploying that technique. If “No,” then this highlights an area to focus on in building your implementation plan.
