Module 2: Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act Flashcards
IDENTIFICATION
Means reducing the consumption of energy by producing or using less of it. It is “the prevention of the wasteful use of energy especially in order to ensure is continuing availability.” It involves using less energy by adjusting your behaviors and habits.
Energy Conservation
It is doing more with the same amount of energy or less energy. It involves the use of technology that requires less energy to perform the same function.

Energy Efficiency and Conservation Law of the Philippines
RA No. 11285 - Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act of 2019
An act Institutionalizing Energy Efficiency and Conservation, Enhancing the Efficient use of Energy, and Granting Incentives to Energy Efficiency and Conservation Projects.
RA No. 11285 - Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act of 2019
Refers to a professional who obtains a certification as a CECO after demonstrating high levels of experience, competence, proficiency, and ethical fitness in the energy management profession, and who shall be responsible for the supervision and maintenance of the facilities of Type 1 designated establishments for the proper management of energy consumption and such other functions deemed necessary for the efficient and judicious utilization of energy under this Act.
Certified Energy Conservation Officer (CECO)
Refers to a licensed engineer who obtains a certification as a CEM after demonstrating high levels of experience, competence, proficiency, and ethical fitness in the energy management profession, and who shall be chosen by Type 2 designated establishments to plan, lead, manage, coordinate, monitor, and evaluate the implementation of sustainable energy management within their organizations;
Certified. Energy Manager (CEM)
Refers to a private or public entity in the commercial, industrial, transport, power, agriculture, public works, and other sectors identified by the Department of Energy (DOE) as energy intensive industries based on their annual energy consumption in the previous year or an equivalent annual index; the amount of consumption is indicated in this Act and subject to adjustment by the DOE as it deems necessary.
Designated establishment
Refers to any electric cooperative, private corporation, government-owned utility, or existing local government unit (LGU) which has an exclusive franchise to operate a distribution system including those whose franchise covers economic zones.
Distribution utility
Refers to the agency created through Republic Act No. 7638, otherwise known as the “Department of Energy Act of 1992”, and whose functions were expanded by Republic Act No. 9.136, otherwise known as the “Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001”
Department of Energy (DOE)
Refers to all types of energy available commercially including natural gas (liquid natural gas and liquid oil gas), all heating and cooling fuels (including district heating and district cooling), coal, transport fuels, and renewable energy sources.
Energy
Refers to the evaluation of energy consumption and review of current energy cost to determine appropriate intervention measures and efficiency projects in which energy can be judiciously and efficiently used to achieve savings. It may refer to a walk-through audit, a preliminary audit, or a detailed audit.
Energy audit
Refers to individuals or entities certified by the DOE who have proven credibility and competence to conduct an energy audit: Provided, That the guidelines in the certification of energy auditors shall be developed by the DOE upon consultation with stakeholders
Energy auditor
Refers to the reduction of losses and wastage in various energy stages from energy production to energy consumption through the adoption of appropriate measures that are technologically feasible, economically sound, environmentally-friendly, and socially affordable.
Energy conservation
Refers to the periodic report submitted to the DOE by Type 1 and Type 2 designated establishments, distribution utilities, and the transmission utility with regard to the National Energy Efficiency and Conservation Plan containing, among others, energy consumption, energy loss, and status of energy use: Provided, That the comprehensive contents of the report shall be specified by the DOE.
Energy Consumption and Conservation Report (ECCR)
Refers to the way of managing and restraining the growth in energy consumption resulting in the delivery of more services for the same energy input or the same services for less energy input.
Energy efficiency
Refers to the office to be established in each LGU mandated to oversee and monitor the implementation of their respective Local Energy Efficiency and Conservation Plan (LEECP), which may be part of the planning and development office.
Energy Efficiency and. Conservation Office (EECO)
Refers to the head of the EECO responsible for overseeing the implementation of the LEECP at the local government level, who may be designated from the existing personnel of the LGU
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Officer (EEC Officer)
Refer to projects designed to reduce energy consumption and costs by any improvement, repair, alteration, or betterment of any building or facility, or any equipment, fixture, or furnishing to be added to or used in any building, facility, or vehicle including the manufacturing and provision of services related thereto: Provided, That such projects shall be cost-effective and shall lead to lower energy or utility costs during operation and maintenance
Energy efficiency projects
Refers to all individuals and entities which consume energy to include households, industrial and commercial customers, power plants, distribution utilities, and transmission utilities.
Energy end user
Refers to the Philippine Energy Standards and Labeling Program (PESLP) which requires manufacturers to attach an energy label on their products to inform consumers about the energy performance and efficiency of the product
Energy labeling
Refers to the process of designing and implementing an optimal program of purchasing, generating, and consuming various types of energy based on the end user’s overall short-term and long-term management program, with due consideration of factors including costs, availability, economics, and environmental impact.
Energy management
Refers to a juridical entity that offers multi-technology services and goods towards developing and designing energy efficiency projects, delivering and guaranteeing energy savings, and ensuring cost-effective and optimal performance. Their services include energy supply and management, energy financing, technical engineering expertise and consultancy, equipment supply, installation, operation, maintenance and upgrade, and monitoring and verification of performance and savings.1âшphi1 Their goods include lighting, motors, drives, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, building envelope improvements, and waste heat recovery, cooling, heating, or other usable forms of energy control systems.
