Establish operational and energy baselines to support efficiency diagnosis, improvement choices, and results verification.
Start with a measurable problem
Select equipment or a system, compile operating hours, production output, and existing energy data, then confirm measurement points and the observation period.
Establish consistent comparison conditions
Products, loads, shifts, and environmental conditions can all affect energy use. Analysis and improvement verification need to retain the relevant production context.
Turn the question into a measurement scope
Define equipment and system measurement boundaries and retain operating time, load and relevant conditions. Use a consistent before-and-after method so changes in hours or load are not mistaken for energy savings.
