Implementation Dashboard

Week 1–2: Energy Baseline

• Gather 12 months of historical energy data (invoices, readings)
• Organize data by location or system
• Document major events (facility changes, inefficiencies)
• Calculate total current energy spend as % of budget
• Identify preliminary high-consumption areas

Week 3: Policy & Targets

• Draft one-page energy policy (commitment, targets)
• Set target (e.g., "Reduce energy intensity by 5% annually")
• Secure CEO sign-off
• Secure CFO sign-off
• Secure Executive Sponsor sign-off
• Brief all site managers on policy
• Post policy visibly in facilities and on intranet

Week 4: Governance

• Appoint Energy Coordinator (dedicated role)
• Define monthly energy review participants
• Define quarterly business review participants
• Schedule all recurring meetings for next 12 months
• Communicate roles and responsibilities
• Document governance structure summary

Week 5–6: Monitoring Plan

• Define monitoring scope (incomer, HVAC, lighting)
• Identify potential platforms/vendors (3 options)
• Compare platforms on functionality, cost, integration
• Select platform and secure budget approval
• Issue purchase order and schedule installation
• Prepare site access and infrastructure requirements

Week 7: Installation

• Deploy sensors at all key measurement points
• Configure dashboards for site-level consumption
• Configure system breakdown (HVAC %, lighting %)
• Set up trend visualization (daily, weekly, monthly)
• Define alert thresholds (>5% deviation)
• Validate data accuracy and completeness

Week 8: Quick Wins

• Compile 2–4 weeks of monitored consumption data
• Create normalized baseline (per m², per unit)
• Analyze consumption patterns (peak, off-hours)
• Identify quick wins (HVAC, Lighting, Shutdowns)
• Estimate annual savings for each quick win
• Prioritize quick wins by ROI

Week 9–10: Documentation

• Document measurement frequency and responsibility
• Document data normalization methodology
• Document variance investigation process
• Document opportunity identification process
• Create templates (Monthly review, Opp evaluation)

Week 11: First Actions

• Hold first monthly energy review
• Review dashboards with site managers
• Implement quick-win actions
• Document implementation details and owners
• Set follow-up check-in dates

Week 12: Continuous Improvement

• Create opportunity log (spreadsheet/DB)
• Rank opportunities by ROI
• Select top 3–5 opportunities for implementation
• Schedule quarterly progress reviews
• Define success criteria (reduction %, savings)

• Schedule external audit for month 6–9
• Evaluate capital project ROI (replacements, etc.)
• Plan multi-year improvement tranches
• Communicate results to leadership (monthly)
• Maintain monthly energy reviews (non-negotiable)
• Plan for annual energy policy review
