Conference Overview
The first step to managing the rising cost of energy use is to understand your facility energy use and identify opportunities for energy savings. This course will introduce you to resources that are available to help measure your baseline energy use and compare that to other comparable facilities. You will learn how to rate your facilities energy performance and hear about energy efficiency benchmarking tools and programs that are available including whole building assessment and plant energy profiling. Speakers represent NationalGrid, NStar Electric and Gas, Western Massachusetts Electric, the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
