Stage 3: Sustaining performance
The third stage, 'sustaining performance', involves implementing whatever systems and procedures are necessary to, at least, maintain the performance improvements achieved in the earlier stages and, preferably, support a process of continuous improvement thereafter. Typically, this means setting up and operating a Monitoring and Targeting (M&T) system.

It is important to recognise that, before implementing an M&T system, careful thought should be given to both the information requirements within the context of the levels of energy consumption to be managed and the possible mechanisms for collecting the data and for monitoring and reacting to the information produced.

As part of the Energy Centre service, we will use our experience to specify and implement an M&T solution that is efficient and effective from both a cost and an operational point of view.
