Training Overview

THIS EVENT REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED

In these challenging economic times with rising energy costs effectively managing your building’s energy performance is good business. There are many energy efficiency practices and technologies available to building operators; however, the greatest impact is achieved when an entire building’s energy consumption is considered as a whole. This holistic approach fosters comprehensive, integrated solutions that leverage all available efficiency opportunities. The first step to managing energy is to understand your facility’s energy use and identify opportunities for energy savings.

About the Sponsoring Organizations: National Grid, NSTAR, Cape Light Compact and Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnerships have joined together to sponsor this series of three workshops. Each utility offers a comprehensive commercial building benchmarking and assessment program. The programs’ common goals are to help customers assess the energy performance of the entire building (across fuels), take action to make the building more efficient and to sustain that efficiency over time. Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership supports the utilities’ efforts through training and the development of energy efficient technology and tools to the commercial and industrial sector.

Benefits

	offer a strategy for mining energy savings and managing energy performance in your building,
	acquaint you with EPA’s ENERGY STAR benchmarking tool for benchmarking your building,
