The Guidelines have been prepared to highlight practical approaches and methods of implementing energy efficiency measures that could be achieved through adoption of the best practices in design, selection, monitoring, operation and maintenance of equipment and systems. The Part 1 of the Guideline covers a general category of electrical energy-use equipment, which is commonly used in the industries and selected equipment as follows:

• Transformer

• Fan and Blower
• Pump
• Air Compressor
• Lighting

The Guideline provides general approaches , standard values, guidance and case studies on energy conservation which will form the basis of internal benchmarking by manufacturers who embark on energy conservation. Industry or factory are encouraged to set their own internal goals on energy efficiency and energy conservation, improved productivity and profitability, conservation of natural resources and reduction of greenhouse gases in accordance with their facilities, operation and needs and suit with their own specific requirement. Through the use of the guidelines also, industry or factory will be able to determine their energy use performance of such equipment against industry standard values, formulate energy saving plan and establish best practices in their own operation, monitoring and maintenance.
