Your team is divided on energy efficiency priorities. How can you align everyone for maximum impact?

Prioritize first by what you can do with what you've got, then again by costs savings, do those. Then your wishlist versus ROI versus time. Plan those.

En matière d'economie d'énergie,je pense qu'il est assez facile d'aligner son équipe en leur expliquant que la première priorité est de faire marcher le bon sens en travaillant d'abord sur les actions dans le domaine de la sobriété énergétique, qui ne coûtent rienet qui relèvent de notre comportement responsable; en parallèle, on monte les dossiers relatifs aux activitéds dans le domaine de l'efficacité énergétiques, qui recquièrent des investissements mesurés et on planifie les gros investissements dans le renouvelable.

Begin by gathering insights from each team member to understand their perspectives and concerns regarding energy efficiency. Facilitate open discussions where everyone can express their views on what they believe are the most critical energy-saving measures. This step helps in identifying common ground, potential synergies, and the root causes of any disagreements. Additionally, it ensures that everyone feels heard, which is crucial for team cohesion and buy-in.

A melhor forma de tornar a equipe mais comprometida com as metas de eficiência energética é justamente o caminho a mesma propõe soluções e obrigações para si, de modo, que as metas sejam constituídas através do seu comprometimento e nos casos que for necessário cabendo as lideranças aprimorar metas e objetivos.

Once you have a clear understanding of the different viewpoints, establish clear, specific, and measurable energy efficiency objectives. These objectives should align with your organisation's broader sustainability goals and be framed in a way that resonates with the various concerns raised by team members. By linking objectives to both company wide goals and individual team concerns, you create a shared purpose that everyone can support.

With objectives in place, work collaboratively to identify and prioritize the actions needed to achieve these goals. Use criteria such as potential impact, feasibility, cost-effectiveness, and alignment with organisational priorities to rank these actions. It’s important to ensure that prioritisation is a collective decision, possibly using tools like a decision matrix or voting system to ensure fairness and transparency.

After prioritizing actions, allocate the necessary resources such as budget, personnel, and time to the highest priority tasks.This allocation should reflect both the importance of the actions and the capacities of your team members.Ensure that resources are distributed in a way that supports the most impactful initiatives while also addressing any team members’ concerns about resource constraints. Clear communication during this stage is vital to prevent any feelings of inequity or neglect.

Implement a robust monitoring system to track the progress of your energy efficiency initiatives. Regular check-ins and progress reports will help in ensuring that the team stays aligned with the set objectives. Use key performance indicators (KPIs) that reflect your energy efficiency goals and provide transparent feedback on how well the team is performing. Monitoring also allows you to celebrate quick wins, which can boost morale and reinforce commitment.

Principalmente no diz respeito as mudanças e atualizações normativas, estas podem surgir como oportunidades de redução de custos, cabendo aos líderes dos projetos de eficiência energética analisar as oportunidades de redução de custos frente a ajustes no perfil de ajustes contratuais, gerando assim, uma poupança de recursos para investimento em projetos com demandas financeiras maiores.
