Another project funded in 2007 will develop an energy management decision support system to help water utilities make better decisions for sustainable energy management. “Decision Support System for Sustainable Energy Management” (project #4090), which began in January 2008, will design the decision support system to identify economic, environmental, and social issues and impacts (i.e., triple-bottom line approach). The project will also develop the necessary parameters and methods for analysis to evaluate energy management options. A significant component of this research is integrating the knowledge related to existing tools in areas such as financial costs and the benefits of energy management into a coherent, analytical process. In this way the decision support system will help utilities make energy-management decisions that meet triple bottom line objectives. The project is a collaboration between Water Research Foundation, the Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, the National Center for Atmospheric Research, and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
