Energy management as the management of innovation

S.D. Fawkes

Applied Energy, 1983, vol. 15, issue 1, 78 pages

Abstract: It is often said that investments in energy conservation are in some way low risk. This paper shows that like all investments they must, by definition, have elements of risk. It is part of the Energy Manager's role to manage these investments, which because of their novelty, are innovations. Consequently Energy Managers should consider themselves to be innovators and draw lessons from theories of the management of innovation. This paper indicates what can be learnt from these theories and suggests a basic, systematic model for energy conservation innovation.
