Guidelines for the Integration of Cleaner
Production and Energy Efficiency
From Cleaner Production and Energy Efficiency
to integrated CP-EE:
Cleaner Production (CP) and Energy Efficiency (EE) are established
and powerful strategies helping enterprises throughout the world
to reduce costs and generate profits by reducing waste. Integration
of CP and EE provides synergies that broaden the scope of their
individual application and give more effective results-both environmental
and economic. CP-EE integration is the subject of UNEP DTIE's
CP-EE Manual, published as a fully navigable CD-ROM.
What's in the Manual?
The Manual provides a methodology for integration-useful to managers
and technical staff alike-coupled with a set of 'tools' that CP-EE
practitioners can use directly in the field.
The Manual is in three parts, with 'hyperlinks' allowing users
to go straight to the sections most relevant to their needs.
Part-1
Lays the foundations for CP-EE integration, introducing its benefits
and developing a five-step methodology. Users are then walked
through the 18 tasks that make up the steps, helped at each step
by a 'Running Example' in the form of completed Worksheets taken
from an actual CP-EE assessment. The worksheets are an important
tool for CP-EE assessment and the Manual provides fully editable,
blank versions that users can print and adapt to their own needs.
Part-2
Contains two Technical Modules. The first Module provides background
information on energy-using systems that will help in identifying
areas of focus for CP-EE assessments and includes further editable
Worksheets. The second presents Energy Efficient Technologies.
Part-3
Is the Manual's tools and resources section. It includes: Checklists;
Thumb Rules; Measuring Instruments; and an extensive list of Information
Resources. A fully operational version
of UNEP's 'GHG Indicator' is an additional feature of the tools
section. Users can access this spreadsheet-based calculator to
compute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from their facilities.
Who can use the Manual?
Concerns such as reducing waste, saving money or reducing GHG
emissions should be shared by everyone in an enterprise. By combining
a methodology that encourages involvement of staff at all levels
with factual information, technical data and practical tools,
the CP-EE Manual fosters everyone's involvement and allows both
technical specialists and managers to take effective action.
Features of the CD-ROM format
Hyperlinks are provided throughout the Manual, allowing users
to navigate smoothly and easily within the Manual itself and to
access tools that are either on the CD-ROM or are Internet based.
For example:
- Hyperlinks on the 'Contents' page and 'Bookmarks' allow users
to jump straight to the topics of their choice
- Editable, blank worksheets can be opened individually by simply
clicking on the corresponding Completed Worksheet in the Manual
- UNEP's 'GHG Indicator' can be opened directly from the Contents
page or from a link in the Manual
- Hyperlinks connect directly to Internet resources.
