What Does a BEP Do?
A BEP understands both the internal and external factors that affect the success of these projects, from technical to operation, to market forces, regulations, and legislation. A BEP also understands how important energy decisions affect the organization’s energy-consuming systems, how these systems affect productivity and how these decisions can affect the organization’s financial profitability and bottom line. A BEP can present and justify these programs and projects for approval, and more importantly, understand how to compare projects that complete and make objective decisions on which projects should move forward with approval.
