Abstract: Research and development centres, as an initial chain of industrial sectors, are amongst large energy consumers worldwide. Thus, implementing energy management system(s) in such centres would be beneficiary to both economy and livelihood of environment. Additionally, harbouring renewable energy sources play a key and strategic role in policies circumventing both energy production/consumption and environment. Accordingly, design of a unique and comprehensive management system, with the focus on research institutes and organisations, for both energy efficiency improvement and renewable energy production seems to be inevitable.
