The muscle power of a company's personnel, when compared to the total energy expenditure, corresponds to the level of engineering error, which has led to the complete rejection of this factor in practice. In this article, the general function of energy consumption by the enterprise is considered to be the sum of technological sector costs and the energy costs of personnel. Three norms of energy consumption of human labor are applied: physical, economic using macroeconomic indicators, and economic of an institutional nature. The main goal of our study is to assess the energy costs of human labor using various approaches and to test the statistical significance of the impact of the obtained results on the overall energy intensity of a given enterprise. Using the method of the Box-Wilson multifactorial experiment, a study of the influence of factors on the total consumption of energy resources was carried out. It is proven that labor costs in the energy aspect, even when measured by the physical method, have a statistically significant effect. The physical method should be recommended as the primary approach for industrial enterprises. Underestimation of the energy parameters of living labor creates the risk of irresponsible consumption and production.
