Introduction:

The purpose of this project is to research the energy management plan and suggest the alternative solution to saving the energy and cut the expenses on electricity bill.

Work Completed from Oct 7 to Oct 25, 2013:

During this period, I finished the literature review. In this section, I have to search the previous work of energy management result. There are few companies voluntarily adopted an energy plan have achieve major energy intensity improvement. Some examples include:

• United Technologies Corp. (UTC) reduced global GHG emission by 46% per dollar of revenue from 2001 to 2006, and is now seeking an additional 12% reduction from 2006 to 2010.
•  Dow Chemical achieved a 22% improvement (saving US$4 billion) between 1995 and 2005, and is now seeking another 25% from 2005 to 2015.
• Toyota’s North American Energy Management Organization has reduced energy use per unit by 23% since 2002; company-wide energy efficiency improvements have saved US$9.2 million in North America since 1999.

Next, I need to finish the third chapter of my project which includes methodology and making corrections for second chapter. This will be completed by Nov 15, 2013. I will then write the conclusion and management implications for the final paper. The entire project should be completed by the third week of Nov 2013.
