Question
Q.5. How benchmarking performance define?
Answer
Benchmarking performance is defined by comparing a facility's actual specific energy consumption against similar facilities, industry standards, or its own historical best performance, to quantify achievable savings potential.
Benchmarking performance is defined as the process of comparing a facility's actual energy performance indicators, such as specific energy consumption per unit of production output, against relevant external reference points (similar facilities in the same industry, or published industry best-practice figures) or internal reference points (the facility's own best historical performance), in order to quantify the extent of achievable energy-saving potential and set realistic, evidence-based efficiency improvement targets.
