Buildings account for nearly 40 percent of the energy consumed in the United States, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that about 30
percent of the energy used in commercial facilities is wasted. Reducing this waste requires a thoughtful energy management program that meets current efficiency standards and supports greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. In Partnership with EMA, this two-hour virtual training, you will explore a step-by-step approach to managing a facility’s energy demand and consumption. Through data gathering, system assessments, and analysis of real-world scenarios, you will practice identifying savings opportunities and performing calculations to evaluate both energy and cost impacts.
You’ll leave this session able to:
• Describe the importance of proactive energy management in buildings.
• Interpret codes, standards, and local ordinances that shape energy use.
• Establish energy baselines and perform benchmarking.
• Explain the ASHRAE audit process, including Levels 1, 2 and 3.
