Agenda
Opening Session: Welcome (8:00-8:20)
Introductory session: (8:20-9:00)
The objective of this session is to provide background context on IPEEC and the role of EMAK within IPEEC’s broader mandate. In order to make sure that we will be building on key outcomes and themes from the first Paris workshop, a summary of the discussions at the first workshop will be presented. In addition, a brief overview presentation on the range of joint activities that industry and governments undertake around the world to promote energy management will be made.
Session A: Managing Energy Use the Business Perspective (9:00-10:50)
The objective of this session is to understand how businesses approach energy management from a strategic perspective with other internal policies e.g. financing, communication and the level of delegation to energy managers as well as government policies. Four companies from different countries will make presentations on their companies’ activities in the area of energy management and the benefits which their companies implement through energy management.
Session B: Luncheon session on ISO 50001
How can ISO 50001 support both government and industry to promote energy efficiency? (11:15-12:15)
The objective of this session is to exchange views on how the introduction of ISO 50001 can facilitate energy management in a company and support the achievement of the goal of EMAK: the promotion of energy management in industry through the network of policy makers responsible for promoting energy management. After a presentation on the current status, a round table discussion consisting of discussants from both business and governments around the world will be held.
Session C: Some successful examples of energy management
What do energy managers need to know? (12:30-13:30)
The objective of this session is to provide policy makers with a better idea of the key elements for successful energy management. In this session, more specific experiences including obstacles, training and education and review processes in the implementing stage will also be shared. Three companies from different countries will make presentations on successful examples of energy management.
Session D: Round Table Discussions for Session A and C
Supporting Energy Management (13:30-14:15)
The objective of this session is to discuss how governments have supported energy management, and how they can further support such activities. Some of the speakers in Session A and C will be asked to present their views on how government can further support energy management in business which will be followed by an opportunity for discussants to provide their views, and interactive discussion.
Closing session (14:15-14:30)
The objective of this wrap up session is to summarise the discussions, and to provide some ideas on possible ways forward in terms of future workshops and other supportive activities to be undertaken by EMAK.
