Disney’s Enterprise Energy Management Systems
Abstract
Disney’s Enterprise Energy Management Systems integrates com-
mercial energy management systems with custom web-based energy
information systems. This technology-based solution is used throughout
the Walt Disney World Resort organization by administrative managers,
engineering, operations and maintenance staff, and cast members. Using
Disney’s energy information system, each Disney business unit’s energy
usage is continually measured using a “utility report card.” This spe-
cial report format stokes some healthy competition between the areas
by ranking them based on their energy usage target. Disney’s energy
management system is used to control the energy usage of air condi-
tioning and lighting systems. Building tune-ups are used to continually
adjust the energy management systems to match the facility operational
requirements. This combination of people and technology has resulted
in a sustainable energy management program at the Walt Disney World
Resort. The goal of this chapter is to show how these technical systems
all work together to drive Disney’s energy management efforts
