Global warming continues to accelerate. It is essential that we all (individuals,
government, organizations, etc.) make sustainable action for reducing carbon emissions for the future
of the planet and for the next generation. The global decarbonization is now on
the top list for every government, public institution, and private company. This article
contains a strategy to manage energy performance in an industrial site based on the research in an industrial pharmaceutical company in France. Most of the principles
also apply to non-industrial sites (e.g., administrative buildings). Several linked thematic are developed such
as organization, culture, communication, partnership, audits, project management,
cost control, metering, targeting, and monitoring. The concept of sobriety is also
studied in this article. The implementation and the adaptation of an energy performance
management through the years has led to divide by 2 the
carbon emissions (and costs) of the site in this study.
