Abstract: In this paper, the bases of the theory and practice of energy management in non-domestic buildings are examined. The focus of interest is divided into three related sections. First, the present British government's thinking on the management of energy is set against its formulation of energy policy as a whole. Then the types of measures that are currently being implemented to reduce and regulate fuel consumption in non-domestic premises are reviewed. And finally, attention is addressed towards two of the current government's favoured solutions for bringing about the management of energy--the introduction of [`]energy managers' and the application of micro-electronics to monitoring and controlling the use of fuel. The principal objectives pursued in the paper are to provide both an introductory overview and a critical appraisal of what is being said and done in Britain in the name of managing the consumption of fuel in non-domestic premises.
