Energy Efficiency Measures and Production Resources: Towards an Integrative Classification Framework for Decision Makers

Energy Efficiency Measures and Production Resources: Towards an Integrative Classification Framework for Decision MakersThe adoption of energy efficiency measures (EEMs) is a significant area of concern for today’s industrial organisations. Whilst literature on this subject has soared in recent decades, there remains a gap in understanding the extent of their impact on an organisation’s operations as well as the manner, and whether, they are adopted in the first place. This paper provides a preliminary attempt at addressing these concerns by investing attention into the notion of production resources as a mechanism through which a deeper appreciation of EEM impact on operations could be provided through the development of a generalised decision-making framework. We end this paper with conclusions and areas for further work.
