Defining corporate energy policy and strategy to achieve carbon emissions reduction in non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations
Finnerty, Noel; Contreras, Sergio; Sterling, Raymond; Coakley, Daniel; Keane, Marcus M. (University of Maribor Press, 2017-07-05)Research on the components and characteristics of long-term energy policy and strategies in large organisations is limited. Non-energy intensive multinationals do not face the environmental regulations required by their ... -
Development of a Global Energy Management System for non-energy intensive multi-site industrial organisations: A methodology
Finnerty, Noel; Sterling, Raymond; Coakley, Daniel; Contreras, Sergio; Coffey, Ronan; Keane, Marcus M. (Elsevier, 2017-01-25)For multi-site organisations, informed decision making on capital investment aimed at improving energy performance and cutting carbon emissions, across a global site base, is a complex problem.

Diagnostics and intervention methods for façade retrofit of post-WWII non-domestic buildings in Europe for energy efficiency
Zuhaib, Sheikh; Hajdukiewicz, Magdalena; Keane, Marcus M.; Goggins, Jamie (NUI Galway, 2016-08-29)The growing demand of deep façade retrofits in refurbishment projects across Europe, is often accompanied by low-energy targets and architectural attributes. Factors like variability in context, material, environment and ... -
An energy management maturity model for multi-site industrial organisations with a global presence
Finnerty, Noel; Sterling, Raymond; Coakley, Daniel; Keane, Marcus M. (Elsevier, 2017-07-27)Literature reviewed suggests energy maturity models are in their infancy in the energy management sector, with little practical guidance for their implementation in multi-site organisations. In addressing this gap, this ... -
