2013 ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS TRAINING-SEMINARS (January - March)

The Continuing Update and Refresher Education (CURE). For a more educated and fine-tuned workforce to face the triple crises of ENERGY, ECONOMICS, AND CLIMATE CHANGE.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY: The MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE SOURCE OF THE PRESENT AND FUTURE ENERGY DEMAND! This is because the efficiency of every energy system and component can be improved. The following training-seminars will show how.

JANUARY -- MARCH 2013 SCHEDULE

One of the best approach to successful cost-cutting is for the Corporate Management to have a serious commitment and policy of Energy Efficiency Improvements in their offices, factories, buildings, facilities, and vehicle fleet. Instead of laying off workers for cost-cutting, management can "layoff" energy wastage and utilize a higher energy efficiency.

In view of the rising energy costs, declining energy supply, and the destructive effects of Climate Change/Global Warming, the need to increase Energy Efficiency is of great importance nowadays. Waste energy in the form of heat, carbon monoxide, incomplete combustion, smoke, plus the Greenhouse Gas emissions (CO2), etc., destroy our environment due to the phenomenon of Global Warming. If we don't take corrective actions now, our inefficiencies and little concern for the environment will ultimately destroy our businesses, the fruits of our labors, and finally destroy our very own lives! 

Your business profitability, if not its very survival, is now threatened by the escalating energy costs, and its destructive side effect we call Climate Change.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS AND CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT COURSE (May 24--25, 2012)

To Combat the Triple Crises 
on Energy, Economics, and Climate Change!

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This 2-day best practices course on Energy Efficiency and Productive Conservation contains tips and tools for improving Energy Efficiency in existing commercial and industrial buildings. The course provides the tools and techniques that illustrate some of the most innovative strategies and technologies, as well as, some of the most successful Energy Efficiency Improvements case studies.

OBJECTIVES: After this vital course, participants are assured of success in the thoughtful planning and implementation of enercon program and energy efficiency management in their respective companies.

METHODS OF INSTRUCTION: (1) Multimedia presentations (powerpoint, videos, and animations). (2) Case studies. (3) Question and Answer Open-Forum.

WHY THIS COURSE... Undertaking energy efficiency measures can reduce energy consumption - and thus, utility bills - by 30 % or more. A 30 % reduction in energy consumption can lower operating costs by $30,000 per year for every 50,000 square feet of office space. 

The best part is that these improvements to energy efficiency can often be attained through no-cost or low-cost projects that also enhance the indoor environment of buildings. 

Besides energy cost savings, energy efficiency management provides several less tangible financial benefits. Recent studies have linked energy management to stock market performance. But the best benefit of all, is that we help reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions, thereby mitigating Climate Change/Global Warming.

SAFETY SUPERVISION AND LEADERSHIP COURSE (January 24 - 25, 2012)

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This 2-day supervisory course is designed to develop the supervisory and leadership skills of supervisors. As an "agent of the employer" the supervisor assumes the responsibilities of the employer to the degree he or she has been given authority. This course will introduce you to some of the basic employer responsibilities to OSHA law, and the obligations the employer and employees have to each other. Fulfilling these obligations is a function of competent management and leadership: the theme throughout the entire course. The supervisor bears the greatest responsibility and accountability for implementing the safety and health program because it is he or she who works most directly with the employee. 

OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to: (1) Apply successful management and leadership principles to make sure their employees enjoy an injury- and illness-free work environment. (2) Take immediate, direct action to make sure that his or her work area is safe and healthful for all employees. (3) Develop a proactive safety and health system that employs strategies that not only meet OSHA requirements, but far exceed them.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Safety officers, safety committee members, or every supervisor who is getting into the occupational safety and health field as part of their responsibility.
