An updated framework for consistent, effective Strategic Energy Management programs.
The Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) has released updated Strategic Energy Management (SEM) Minimum Elements, providing guidance for program administrators, implementers, and other energy professionals working to design, deliver, and strengthen SEM programs.
The Minimum Elements establish a common foundation for what it means for a facility or organization to practice SEM. By defining essential energy management practices, they support consistency across programs, improve communication with participating organizations, and help expand the adoption and impact of SEM.
As energy management programs evolve to address changing industry needs, including decarbonization and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions, shared frameworks like the CEE Minimum Elements remain an important resource for the SEM community.
SEM Collaborative is pleased to share this updated resource as part of our commitment to advancing effective SEM practices, supporting industry collaboration, and connecting energy professionals with tools and guidance that strengthen their work.
