Development of Management Model for Energy Conservation in Industrial Business Buildings
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to: investigate components of effective energy conservation management in industrial business buildings, develop a relevant management model, and generate an energy conservation guidebook for the predetermined purpose. The Delphi technique was employed by recruiting 22 experts as the sample group. The consideration for the handbook content was conducted through the focus group discussion by 14 experts. The research tools consisted of an interview form and a set of questionnaires. The statistics used to analyze the data consisted of frequency, percentage, median, and Interquartile Range (IQR). Consequently, the framework for the management model constitutes 4 main components and 23 sub-elements. The major components can be divided into 4 aspects, each of which contains their respective sub-elements. These essential components feature: 1) Planning (with 5 sub-elements), 2) Organization management (with 5 sub-elements), 3) Leadership (with 7 sub-elements), and 4) Control (with 6 sub-elements). The suitability assessments by the experts showed that the panelists reached a consensus on overall appropriateness and implementation feasibility. Furthermore, the model handbook is suitable for energy efficiency management in industrial business buildings as well as different types of building classifications.
