Energy management and the application of energy consumption reduction methods is high on the priority list of South Africa’s electrical supply utility, Eskom. One of Eskom’s Demand Side Management (DSM) recovery plan steps was the establishment of a subsidy programme for energy auditing and energy efficient lighting. A need arose to implement new lighting designs and to improve existing lighting systems. These improved lighting systems are used as recommendations in Energy Audits to achieve lighting efficiency and energy consumption reduction. It also highlights and promotes cost effective designs and energy management. New and better lighting methods are developed and researched to increase returns, domestically and in industry. This also highlights the importance of energy consumption reduction. This paper also discusses an Energy Audit conducted at a school in Worcester by the Service Learning and Development (SLD) unit of the Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Electrical Engineering Department in Bellville. The SLD delivers a service to the community, to improve their standard of living and to provide training to electrical engineering students. The aim of the project was to recommend energy consumption reduction methods.

According to the input-output table and energy consolidated balance sheet of 2002 and 2007, compiled physical-value energy input-output table of six major departments and then analyzed direct energy consumption index and completely energy consumption index of Jiangsu province. Using index decomposition method and SDA method, analyzed influence of changes in technical efficiency and structure on the energy consumption intensity fluctuation respectively from the whole and each department, conducted comprehensive evaluation index to comprehensively evaluate and analyze six major departments in Jiangsu province, so as to find out the main cause of the energy consumption intensity changes in Jiangsu province, and then according to the energy consumption reduction target in the “12th Five-Year” plan, we put forward relevant countermeasures:adhere to structure, technology and management energy saving carrying out together, put the industry as the main attack direction of energy saving and encourage and support enterprises to increase investment in science and technology.
