This handbook is intended as a practical guide for environmental managers in industry and commerce to save resources such as energy, water and materials whilst also minimizing waste, saving money and protecting the environment. The principles and procedures used are those of Integrated Environmental Management (IEM), which takes account of BS7750 and EMAS, and compliance with European and UK legislation. IEM is an optimised decision sequence for retrofit conservation options, whereby a list of management decisions, in order of cost-effectiveness, is formulated. This list leads to an optimal project plan, in which each sequential decision leads to the best action currently available in economic terms. This approach enables environmental managers to adopt a ?no risk? investment policy, in which no further action is taken until financial savings arising from previous decisions have been realised. The plan effectively reinvests ?savings? so that no net capital outlay is required to reduce commodity costs. Thus the systematic application of IEM allows all necessary retrofits and modifications to technical activities to be financially resourced from within the environmental management project itself.
