Abstract

In April 2006 a co-operation between a motor fabrication and the FHTW Berlin Department of Engineering 4, Industrial Environmental Informatics course was initiated. The aim of the project was to meet the following goals: 1. Activity based allocation of energy flows; 2. Identify saving potential; 3. Monetary valuation of saving potentials.

This paper gives an overview on the proceeding in this co-operation project. In detail it shows how the relevant data was raised, which role the knowledge of co-workers played, respectively the communication with them and how the project could be successfully completed.
