ENERGY SYSTEMS EFFICIENCY COURSE (Best Practices and Management).

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. 

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This 2-Day Best Practices course on energy conservation/efficiency improvements contains tips, techniques, and Best Practices in Energy Management for improving energy efficiency in commercial and industrial buildings. The Best Practices provided in this course illustrate some of the most innovative strategies/technologies, as well as, the NO-COST/LOW-COST basic practical approaches.

OBJECTIVES: After this vital course, participants are assured of success in the thoughtful planning and implementation of enercon program and energy efficiency improvements 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 Saving 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 be attained through no-cost or low-cost projects that also enhance the indoor environment of buildings. Besides energy cost savings, efficient energy management provides several less tangible financial benefits, such as, safe and productive work environment, etc. Also, recent studies have linked efficient energy management to stock market performance.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS TRAINING-SEMINARS (June - August 2013). 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.

The Continuing Update and Refresher Education (CURE)

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.

JUNE -- AUGUST 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.
