2. STANDARD ORGANIZATION AND REGULATIONS MANUAL (SORM)
The Shipboard Energy Manager (SEM) is a collateral duty in the OPNAVINST D SORM { SHIPBOARD ENERGY MANAGER (SEM)}:
BASIC FUNCTION. The SEM is the commanding officer‘s advisor on underway and in-port energy conservation initiatives.
DUTIES, RESPONSIBILITIES, AND AUTHORITY. The SEM promotes energy efficient ship operations during underway missions and in port supporting the Secretary of the Navy's efforts to reduce total energy consumption on naval ships. The SEM shall be trained in accordance with guidance established by TYCOMs and implement an energy conservation training program.
ORGANIZATIONAL RELATIONSHIPS. The SEM reports to the commanding officer.
Energy Awareness is to be included in Indoctrination as per OPNAVINST D SORM, {6.2.6 ORIENTATION BILL, para d(2)(l)}:
Indoctrination shall include, briefings and counseling on the following: Energy awareness/environmental control rules.

3. Why Operational Energy Management Matters
Increased state of readiness
What’s in it for the U.S. Navy?
Increased fuel for steaming hours
Increased ship endurance range
Decreased machinery maintenance
What’s in it for your ship?
Increasing Energy Efficiency, Reliability, & Security = More Capable Navy

5. *Note graph assumes that a ship will use 70% of it’s fuel capacity.
Fuel Management
20 knots = 4,274nm range
25 knots = 2,928nm range
Transiting at 25 knots vice 15 knots reduces max range by 46%
30 knots = 2,074nm range
15 knots = 5,370nm range

6. Transiting at 20 knots vs 21 knots burns 12.88% LESS fuel
Fuel Management
Fuel burn is exponential
10 Knots = BBLs/Hr (TS)
15 Knots = BBLs/Hr (TS)
20 Knots = BBLs/Hr (SP)
25 Knots = BBLs/Hr (FP)
30 Knots = BBLs/Hr (FP)
Transiting at 20 knots vs 21 knots burns 12.88% LESS fuel

9. Everyday Energy Management
Thermostats: Thermostat settings for most spaces, including messing and berthing on US Navy ships is 67 degrees F. Setting the thermostat below the proper temperature can lead to spaces being simultaneously heated and cooled, which is very energy inefficient. Un-qualified personnel shall not adjust thermostats.
A/C boundaries: Make sure to secure A/C boundaries on the interior and exterior of the ship. A/C boundary doors should be fully latched down, and doors that do not close properly should be documented.
Plug Loads: Whenever an electronic device is plugged in, it adds to the ship’s electrical load, which increases energy consumption. Reduce plug load by unplugging electronic devices when not in use and by shutting off electronic devices whenever possible. Using a power strip will allow you to turn off multiple appliances when not needed.
Lighting: Secure lighting in unmanned spaces and minimize the number of lights on in spaces that are occupied.

10. Adopting a Culture of Smart Energy Management
