Energy Efficiency
Environmental, cost and reputation benefits, monitoring and building, system, load, equipment, insulation, transport and travel controls.
How to prepare for EMC1 and EMC2
Learn the principle, find organisational evidence, trace aspect to impact, evaluate significance and controls, and recommend proportionate action.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Environmental, cost and reputation benefits, monitoring and building, system, load, equipment, insulation, transport and travel controls.
Exam cue: Identify the activity, environmental interaction, operating condition, pathway and receptor before selecting a control.
Concept 2
Establish a reliable baseline, prioritise major uses, reduce demand, improve controls and equipment, then verify sustained savings.
Exam cue: Prefer prevention and source reduction, then verify controls with suitable monitoring, records and review.
Concept 3
An efficient device may not reduce total use if operating hours, demand growth or poor controls offset the saving.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Giving a generic environmental measure without connecting it to the organisation, impact and applicable requirement.
Guardrail: Do not give a generic environmental measure without identifying the activity, pathway, receptor and method of verification.
Treating a policy, permit, contractor or item of equipment as proof that environmental performance is controlled.
Guardrail: Do not give a generic environmental measure without identifying the activity, pathway, receptor and method of verification.
