Towards a Model for Typology of Energy Management Strategies

Today, energy management plays an important role in every organization. Previous studies about energy management consisted mostly of how to design the strategies for energy management.In this article, in accordance with the grounded theory methods and the information gathered from the knowledgeable specialists in energy management, we brought out the models of energy management strategies and sub-systems. On the basis of information gathered from petrochemical companies and oil refineries companies whose energy intensity is published in Hydrocarburs Energy Balance (published by Iran International Energy Study Ins-“IIES”), the existence of any correlation between strategies of energy management and business strategies and energy performance in organizations is studied.Structural equation modeling showed that correlation exists between strategies of energy management and business strategies and energy performance in organizations.
