Abstract:
This paper aims at analyzing the energy management
activities for commercial buildings of a financial
service company in South Africa by energy efficiency
in terms of performance, operation, equipment
and technology (POET). The sustainability of
a general energy management program is discussed
within this POET framework. As an application of
this discussion to the commercial building scenario,
the award winning energy management program of
this financial service group company is featured
from the POET perspective of energy efficiency. The
case study shows that the POET based framework
can not only cover all major energy management
activities, but also identify further energy efficiency
improvement opportunities.
