Overview
Often operations personnel and energy managers are unaware of the opportunities available for energy and productivity savings in their steam systems, or they are unsure of the calculation procedures required to determine the savings opportunities. Steam system surveys can save energy and provide significant economical benefits to the building owner.
In this course, the student will learn how to assist operations personnel and energy managers in identifying significant opportunities to improve steam systems. Guidelines are provided for profiling individual steam systems with methods to estimate the fuel costs and operating characteristics of the facility along with identifying improvements in energy efficiency that translate to operational cost savings.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Steam System Survey Guide, ORNL/TM-2001/263 – May 2002, US-DOE Best Practices Steam Program.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of thirty (30) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
