Overview
Energy conservation is an ongoing concern in industrial and commercial environments. It is important, therefore, to take steps to increase energy efficiency where possible. This interactive webinar provides concrete explanations and examples of how to keep your company’s energy usage under control.
After a review of basic energy and electricity concepts, we will discuss various ways to reduce energy consumption and maximize profits. In particular, we will look at utility rate schedules, energy performance contracting, lighting and daylighting, HVAC systems, cogeneration cycles, energy monitoring systems, renewable and emerging energy technologies, and energy audits.
This webinar is relevant for professional engineers of any discipline, as well as technicians, facilities managers, and other professionals who want to enhance their understanding of energy and utilities concepts.
