Implementing Energy Efficiency Projects: From Concept to Contractor

You may suspect that the old equipment in your facility is using too much energy, and perhaps new equipment is worth the investment. On the other hand, why make a change when the old equipment is still running… kinda. So, how do you know what to do?

This workshop will present several options that are available to help you survey and assess your current situation and to develop a plan for implementing energy efficiency projects. These activities represent different ways to assess a project, from the simple and high-level to more complex and detailed studies.

These options also can be implemented to help you weigh your choices, determine an appropriate, economically viable direction to take, and after implementation, measure the savings. They include:

• Screening audit

• Preliminary energy assessment

• Feasibility study

• Design-build criteria

• Startup and commissioning

This workshop will present examples of each of these tasks and will discuss ways to justify the investment involved.
