On 27 January 2026, OPTIMISE successfully conducted an In-House Workshop on EECA Awareness and Energy Efficiency Improvement for Industry for Hartalega NGC Sdn Bhd, with 31 participants in attendance. The programme was designed to support industrial organisations in strengthening EECA awareness while building practical capability to identify, quantify, and implement energy efficiency improvement opportunities—particularly within day-to-day operational and maintenance environments.
Building EECA Readiness and Operational Capability
As organisations prepare for upcoming energy efficiency compliance expectations, the workshop provided clear guidance on how relevant elements of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act (EECA) apply in an industrial context, and what internal planning is needed to support effective implementation. Beyond compliance awareness, participants were equipped with practical analytical tools and methods to improve energy performance and validate savings from retrofit measures.
Workshop Outcomes
By the end of the session, participants were able to:
- Determine the applicability of relevant EECA elements to their organisational context
- Communicate EECA key requirements and their impacts on business operations
- Plan and prepare actions required to comply with the EECA
- Analyse and target heat recovery opportunities, including retrofit strategies to improve efficiencies
- Perform regression analysis to correlate key variables against energy consumption
- Evaluate energy savings from retrofit and energy improvement measures using the Cumulative Sum (CUSUM) approach
Participant Feedback
The workshop received strong feedback for its practicality and relevance to industrial operations:
- “Very informative and suit and met the daily operation of glove manufacturing operations and maintenance towards sustainability.”
- “This course especially helpful to understand the concept of where to capture the potential energy saving points from a process and then how to quantify the savings into measurable units and graph for easy understanding.”
- “Trainers are knowledgeable in the field and convey their knowledge effectively through great presentation and explanation.”
- “Impressed with the background and expertise of trainers, and the practicability of the learned tools with relation to energy saving.”
Driving Sustainable Performance Through Practical Energy Management
This in-house programme reaffirmed the importance of embedding energy management capability within operational teams—so energy efficiency improvements are not only identified, but also quantified, communicated, and sustained. With structured planning and the right tools, organisations can strengthen both compliance readiness and measurable operational performance.
