'Compulsory reading in any organization seeking to reduce its energy consumption.' Luc Hens, International Journal of Environment and Pollution ’...There is an urgent need to build capacity in sound energy management and this book aims to do just that. It is a well written guide to energy management which covers the operational and strategic levels, as well as tools and techniques for the energy manager. The many flow charts and diagrams help illustrate the text and the many case studies help the reader see the application of the techniques of energy management in real situations...’ Dr Steven Fawkes ’Anyone with an interest in the energy sector will be able to follow and understand the basic principles presented in the book. In this respect the book certainly provides a framework for thought and implementation. It satisfies its initial purpose of introducing and analyzing the topics of energy management and present energy reduction opportunities in the business context. It is therefore an excellent source for practitioners, academics, students and anyone in general who wishes to gain a deeper understanding of energy management and the benefits/risks that businesses face.’ SEEJE Magazine, Issue 21, 2013 ’... the book is an excellent guide to the background and the practicalities of the implementation of energy reduction programmes. It introduces all necessary concepts to the busy manager and environmental expert. It offers this information in a most readable and accessible way, also for non-experts.
