Are You Meeting Your Energy Efficiency Potential?
Are you interested in reducing your energy usage and saving money? Join us
Wednesday July 18th at 1:00 EDT
to learn about benchmarking your organization's energy usage, the benefits of energy performance contracts and common energy efficiency measures that can reduce costs.
- Learn about energy benchmarking: Benchmarking energy usage allows an organization to compare its energy performance to itself, its peers or other established norms. Since "you can't manage what you don't measure," benchmarking helps building owners identify opportunities for savings and measure the success of efficiency improvements. Carrie Webster, the Energy Manager for Henrico County, will share information on how Henrico benchmarked their building energy use and how they are using the information to meet their Energy Plan goals.
- Learn about the benefits of energy performance contracts (EPC): Nick Polier with the Virginia Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy will discuss how to implement an EPC, what to look for in an energy services company and highlight successful EPCs in Virginia.
- Learn about energy saving practices: The North Carolina State Industrial Assessment Center provides free energy, productivity and waste assessments to small and medium sized industrial facilities through funding provided by the US Department of Energy. Dr. Stephen Terry will share some of the most common energy recommendations the Center has suggested in the 600+ assessments it has completed. To date, the Center's recommendations have exceeded 9 trillion BTU's in energy saving with an estimated savings of $101 million.
