Training Overview
The primary goal of the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Steam System Specialist Qualifi cation workshop is to equip participants to be fl uent in the appropriate use of the BestPractices Steam Tools Suite, which includes the Steam System Scoping Tool (SSST), Steam System Assessment Tool (SSAT), and Steam System Survey Guide. The 3E-Plus Insulation Appraisal software tool will also be introduced. The workshop will be two-and-a-half days long. The fi rst two days will cover the lesson materials. Numerous in-class problems will be worked and discussed so that class participants will understand the applicability and limitations of the BestPractices Steam Tools. On the third morning of the workshop, the Specialist Qualifi cation examination will be offered. Class participants that pass the examination (85% examination grade or above) will be designated as BestPractices Steam Qualifi ed Specialists, and their names and contact information will be listed on the US DOE BestPractices website.
