A Resource Efficiency Manager (REM) or Resource Conservation Manager (RCM) is a designated individual acquired by an agency to support its energy and resource efficiency program. The REM's or RCM's sole focus is to bring about reductions in the cost of energy, water, natural gas, fuel oil, refuse disposal and any other utilities. This is done through improved use practices, greater attention to utility billings and rate structures and the installation and use of resource management equipment.

If you are responsible for a facility with an energy budget of $1 million or more, a Resource Efficiency Manager can carve out significant savings for your company or agency. Working onsite, Resource Efficiency Managers find and fix wasteful practices and promote energy awareness. A premise of the program is that energy savings will cover the manager's salary. Typically, benefits far exceed that threshold expectation.
