Energy efficiency in industry

Module 4: Energy management and policy

The last module handles energy management and energy economy. Experience shows that projects which are often technically promising, fail at the management level.
The first lectures are dedicated to energy management systems, monitoring and sustainable energy. In the second part of the module project management and financial aspects of energy management are discussed. The setting up of an energy accountancy system and data analysis is treated. The last part of the module treats the policy and legislation framework of energy on an international scale. The impact of policy instruments on costeffectiveness and project feasibility is dealt with. Again, practical cases and industrial experience are highlighted by case presentations.
