May 26, 2008—A new book and software package promise to change the way organizations view energy costs.Energy Budgets at Risk (EBaR): A Risk Management Approach to Energy Purchase and Efficiency Choices, published by John Wiley and Sons, introduces a new process that enables organizations to manage energy price risk and identify efficiency investments that save more than they cost.
EBaR translates energy efficiency investment analysis into the same risk management used by CFOs and financial administrators to evaluate other investments.
An EBaR strategy allows most organizations to realize cash flow increases of 30 percent of energy costs even after paying amortized costs of efficiency investments. according to the company.
The book includes a 50-page appendix that identifies potential energy-efficiency savings at readers’ facilities based on the widely used MAISY utility customer databases.
