ENERGY MANAGEMENT - THE HUMAN ASPECTS OF ENERGY CONSERVATION.

A discussion is presented of the human and people aspects of energy conservation and expands the concept that the correct attitudes and motivational forces are highly significant towards achieving substantial conservation for minimum cost. Energy should be treated just as any other human or material resource and the fact that it cannot be seen is no reason for management to overlook, as frequently happens, their responsibilities to control and adequately supervise its usage. All too often the responsibility for energy costs is that of the Chief Engineer, who usually produces it efficiently, only to see it used less so. Examples are given of the scope achieved through application of a dynamic and positive Energy Management Program.
