VLC - Energy Management - Launch of the FMA's Good Practice Guide

VIRTUAL LUNCHBOX CONVERSATION SERIES

Energy Management

Launch of the FMA's Good Practice Guide

Join us at this complimentary session as we launch the FMA's Good Practice Guide on Energy Management. This guide, which was supported through the Commonwealth Government’s climate solutions funding package, arms professionals with the information and resources needed to achieve more efficient energy outcomes across a range of facilities.

Better energy management delivers a wide range of benefits to businesses and workplaces – from improved comfort and productivity, to reduced operating costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

The guide can be used by facilities managers and building occupants to assess their energy management outcomes, develop and implement energy management strategies and projects, and assess the cost and benefits of energy management initiatives.

Key areas to be addressed:

• Energy management and the low-carbon future
• The important role of facilities managers
• Purpose of the Good Practice Guide

  PRESENTATION:  Demand Management Planning: Integrating Buildings into a Renewable Energy Grid

  The City of Sydney, Better Buildings Partnership has released a new, free, guide to demand management projects, called the Demand Management Planner. Electricity demand forms a large portion of most electricity bills and careful management of demand during peak periods not only cuts the electricity bill it can reduce emissions and contribute to the grid being more resilient during times of stress. The presentation will introduce the Demand Management Planner and the nine steps to successful demand management.
