Evaluate Progress

Evaluating progress includes formal review of both energy use data and the activities carried out as part of the action plan as compared to your performance goals.

Evaluation results and information gathered during the formal review process is used by many organizations to create new action plans, identify best practices, and set new performance goals.

Key steps involved include:

Measure results - Compare current performance to established goals.

Review action plan - Understand what worked well and what didn't in order to identify best practices.

Regular evaluation of energy performance and the effectiveness of energy management initiatives also allows energy managers to:

Measure the effectiveness of projects and programs implemented

Make informed decisions about future energy projects

Reward individuals and teams for accomplishments

Document additional savings opportunities as well as non-quantifiable benefits that can be leveraged for future initiatives.
