What is SEM?

Strategic Energy Management (SEM) is a system of organizational practices, policies, and processes that creates persistent energy savings by integrating energy management into business practices – just like you would with quality assurance, safety, or productivity. SEM focuses on changes in daily operations that engage staff at all levels of an organization in energy efficiency activities.

  • Providing a clear pathway to increased productivity, operational efficiency, profitability and competitive advantage.
  • Enabling energy-intensive businesses to significantly reduce energy consumption.
  • Helping build strong partnerships and relationships between customers and energy efficiency program providers, resulting in increased velocity of capital projects.
