Abstract :
Due to increasing energy costs and the demand to lower CO2 emissions in the production, companies try to integrate a continuous energy efficiency improvement process. By implementing the energy value stream analysis, an optimized improvement process can be established which leads to a more efficient production. This approach shows a practically optimized method. It enables a holistic analysis of the energy productivity and helps to identify and to realize sustainable solutions. Furthermore this structured improvement process leads to a higher transparency of energy consumers.
