Abstract on Energy Management and Sustainability
The growing demand for energy globally points towards making it a precious commodity
which needs to preserved through all initiatives. Therefore, it implies that energy management
concentrates on conservation and monitoring, not to mention the control of energy in an attempt
to mitigate the cost associated with its production. The production cost of energy is on the high
side for all nations globally. Based on this context, there is a need to have an effective and
sustainable energy sustainability model. Today, the oil serves as a major source of energy;
however, dependence on oil alone has resulted in the depletion of this resource, pointing towards
the need to have a more manageable energy management system for several reasons. First,
finding an alternative to renewable sources of energy which are being depleted can reduce the
economic burden appended to the cost of production. At the same time, this will help to reduce
the carbon footprint, which has disastrous environmental repercussions for the planet.
Admittedly, effective energy management needs to focus on increasing dependence on
sustainable energy. In this way, it becomes easier to protect the environment while leveraging the
economic benefits associated with energy management and sustainability. Consequently, by
addressing the optimal utilization of energy through sustaining models, it becomes easier to
contribute positively in green climate initiatives that are instrumental in the process of preserving
and addressing climate change which has affected humanity. Hence with a sustainable energy
2
model, it is possible to find better alternatives to renewable energy, which reduces the prevalence
of carbon footprint in the atmosphere.
Introduction
In contemporary times, the demand for energy is increasing due to an increase in
[3]
population around the world. Energy consumption levels are increasing around the world since
energy is used in a variety of ways in daily activities among people. Around the world,
populations are considering approaches to manage the usage of energy to ensure that sources are
not strained and that the available energy is adequate to meet the desired needs. The management
is linked with monitoring energy usage, and conservation of energy, for the purposes of lowering
the cost of energy in different avenues. Fossil fuels are considered reliable and cheap sources of
energy and are heavily used in production in many avenues. However, many quarters are
considering clean sources of energy since they are sustainable and possess various benefits
towards the environment (Chaudhary 249). Energy management is associated with utilizing
energy in the right ways by limiting energy wastage all the time. The approach involves reducing
energy demand by sourcing energy from sustainable sources through proper monitoring and
efficient use at all times. In many areas, there is a need for organizations to close all loopholes
which are likely to contribute to energy wastage while lowering all demands. There is a need for
an organization to take control of energy use and lower dependency on fossil fuels, thus realizing
the goals of sustainability.
Procedures for Energy Management and Sustainability
There are various procedures individuals could employ in pursuit for energy management
in contemporary times. Energy management is crucial since it ensures that individuals are likely
to use energy in the right ways while reducing instances which are linked to energy wastage.
3
Most of the procedures are applicable, and individuals and groups could implement them at all
times for the purposes of enhancing sustainability.
Reducing energy demands
Reduction of energy demand is one of the procedures towards the management of energy
on various fronts. The approach involves switching one energy at times when, or using energy
source at times when one is operating systems and turning the power off when they are not
operating certain equipment. A business could use energy to produce the same products or
services through measures such as bulk production of goods to lower energy demands (Mardani
et al. 218). In contemporary times, there is a need to lower energy demands through the
installation of programmable thermostats, whereby systems are likely to go off when not in use
(Schulze et al. 3701). The approach could play a role in lowering energy demand in businesses or
factories since energy could only be used when types of machinery are operating.
Reducing energy wastage
Energy wastage is a major approach associated with the loss of energy in plants and other
areas. Individuals could consider reducing energy wastage through the use of energy-efficient
equipment and machinery while in production. A lot of energy is used when individuals use less
efficient equipment since they lead to loss of energy (Mansouri et al. 47). Organizations need to
come up with various innovations for the purposes of implementing efficient solutions. There is
a need for organizations to replace high-intensity equipment and machinery since they consume
high amounts of energy at all times. The aspect of reducing energy wastage is linked to
engagement in energy conservation measures to ensure that huge amounts of energy are not
wasted. Organizations could procure less energy-efficient equipment, such as modern machines,
to reduce energy wastage (Mansouri 49). For instance, the use of light-emitting diodes would be
4
recommendable in many organizations since they require less energy to run compared to
traditional equipment, which uses high amounts of energy.
Monitor energy wastage
Monitoring energy use in organizations is an approach which organizations could employ
to evaluate the usage of energy in different periods. There is a need to take control of energy use
in organizations by evaluating the use of energy in different production periods (Meng et al.
1265). Individuals could evaluate the amount of energy used per a given period of time, such as a
week, two weeks, or a month. In such situations, companies could make proper planning in
production to ensure that less energy is used to produce certain goods or services. Monitoring is
a crucial aspect that enables proper usage since individuals are likely to notice when there is
increased demand for energy and make proper adjustments in energy usage (Mardani et al. 218).
Monitoring has been identified as a reliable approach to energy management since it allows
individuals to identify abnormal energy demands and thus employ the right approaches to reduce
demands or energy wastage.
Lower dependence on fossils fuels and reliance on clean energy
Energy management could be enhanced through reduced reliance on fossil fuels and
increased reliance on clean energy. In many avenues, fossil fuels are heavily used, and
individuals consider them reliable and accessible. The majority of machinery in businesses is run
on fossil fuels since they are affordable in different avenues (Schulze et al. 3701). There is a
need for companies to rethink the future and lower their consumption of fossil fuels. For
instance, there is the production of hybrid car systems, which is an indication that individuals
could use electric sources of energy to for production. Additionally, renewable energy sources
such as wind energy, solar and others are available options which organizations could consider
5
as sources of energy (May et al. 1467). Renewable energy sources are sustainable and less likely
to have negative impacts on the environment. Industries, homes, and other areas should consider
the usage of clean energy sources since they are sustainable and efficient in the long run.
