“…Hence, energy efficiency technologies contribute various ways to sustained competitive advantage. Accordingly, our review supports the argument by Bunse et al [88], stating that energy efficiency contributes to the "triple bottom line"; attending economic, environmental, and social considerations.…”

Abstract:Research has identified an extensive potential for energy efficiency within the manufacturing sector, which is responsible for a substantial share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study is to enhance the knowledge of vital drivers for energy efficiency in this sector by providing a critical and systematic review of the empirical literature on drivers to energy efficiency in manufacturing firms at the firm level. The systematic literature review (SLR) is based on peer-reviewed articles published between 1998 and 2016. The findings reveal that organizational and economic drivers are, from the firms' perspective, the most prominent stimulus for energy efficiency and that they consider policy instruments and market drivers to be less important. Secondly, firm size has a positive effect on the firms' energy efficiency, while the literature is inconclusive considering sectorial impact. Third, the studies are mainly conducted in the US and Western European countries, despite the fact that future increase in energy demand is expected outside these regions. These findings imply a potential mismatch between energy policy-makers' and firm mangers' understanding of which factors are most important for achieving increased energy efficiency in manufacturing firms. Energy policies should target the stimulation of management, competence, and organizational structure in addition to the provision of economic incentives. Further understanding about which and how internal resources, organizational capabilities, and management practices impact energy efficiency in manufacturing firms is needed. Future energy efficiency scholars should advance our theoretical understanding of the relationship between energy efficiency improvements in firms, the related change processes, and the drivers that affect these processes.

“…Finally, the indicator system has to be flexible to adapt it to changing environmental conditions or other fields of application (Zwingel, 1997). Bunse et al (2011) describe a number of energy performance measures that were identified by interviewing industry managers as part of the IMS2020 project. These include:…”

Increasing energy costs, new environmental legislation, and concerns over energy security are driving efforts to increase industrial energy efficiency across the European Union and the world. Manufacturers are keen to identify the most cost-effective techniques to increase energy efficiency in their factories. To achieve the desired efficiency improvements, energy use should be measured in more detail and in real-time, to derive an awareness of the energy use patterns of every part of the manufacturing system. In this paper, we propose a framework for energy monitoring and management in the factory. This will allow decision support systems and enterprise services to take into consideration the energy used by each individual productive asset and related energy using processes, to facilitate both global and local energy optimization. The proposed framework incorporates standards for energy data exchange, on-line energy data analysis, performance measurement and display of energy usage.

“…For optimizing energy consumption of manufacturing processes, energy consumption awareness should be achieved first [9]. Monitoring and analysis of the energy consumption of machines are major steps towards increasing energy efficiency [10]. Some conventional production systems are not able to collect data on the amount of energy consumed in production processes [11].…”
