About Seminar (2 modules, 2hrs each)
This course was recorded from a live webinar that may include discussions from attendees.
This webinar provides you with an understanding of the basics of each of these efficiency programs, as well as to show you how to employ their methods -- either in part or in total -- for sustainable and increasing energy savings. You will leave the seminar with the specific tools you need to start using your new knowledge, including real-world project examples and results.
Organizations are increasingly realizing the power of applying systematic improvement and cultural programs for energy reduction. These programs are different from the classic energy audit based context, which would typically involve only a limited number of people. By contrast, the programs described in this training seminar characteristically employ a very broad group of people in a very specific and systematic way in order to reduce energy use. In fact, programs like 5 S andBehavioral Energy Change will likely involve everyone. This systematic, broader involvement makes possible both increased and longer lasting energy savings.
Buildings and facilities can use these programs to identify energy savings opportunities at all levels, including operator level -- something that can be overlooked with traditional energy audits. Very often adding just one of these programs, or even some of its core elements can serve to bridge the gap between simply identifying opportunities and ultimately taking effective energy-saving action.
Agenda
General Overview
- Why these programs
- The important universal change equation C = D + V + S• Defining and getting dissatisfaction
