Is it true that electrical power and energy saving implementation projects are not based on Project Management principles these types of projects are driven on self created management principles
Eneregy savings project are best achieved via energy auditting of new existing projects (Building). This can be done via analyses of convensional power, plug loads, bio-climatic designs and analyses, technical assessment of renewable energy integration into the building energy mix and investigating the behavioral aspects of the end users.
when discussing project management and interactions with any other field of knowledge, i like always to refer to time, cost and quality. some people can argue risk as well but i like to suggest that any controlled risk is a quality nonconformance or deviation. Therefore, i would study these 3 dimentions and for your study purposes i may add sustainability.
