We are a team of researchers at the TransFIRe Hub (Transforming Foundation Industries Research and Innovation Hub) at Cranfield University, where we are investigating the benchmarking of energy use in manufacturing processes. With the multitude of metrics available to measure energy consumption and utilisation, it is imperative that we have a set of criteria in place to help choose the most useful metrics for our purpose.

In this survey, we present a series of metrics used to represent energy consumption and utilization, and ask for your input on how well they align with a set of established selection criteria in the context of your organisation’s use.

Your participation in this survey will play a vital role in the development of effective methods for improving energy efficiency and promoting environmental sustainability in the manufacturing industry. As an expert in your field, your opinion is invaluable to us. Thank you for taking the time to participate.

The survey will take 5-10 minutes of your time.

Please follow this link to access the survey:  https://qfreeaccountssjc1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_5oiTEJhVGVDkWvs

The survey will stay open until the 12th February 2023.

Your input is much appreciated!

Dr Shoaib Sharfaz, Cranfield University – TransFIRe researcher
