Energy Efficiency Fundamentals

Course Description This course offers an overview of the energy dilemma and why energy efficiency is the quickest, cleanest, most effective solution. It explains where 72% of energy is consumed and how up to 30% can be saved through passive and active energy efficiency. Course Outline Course Objectives At the completion of this course, you will be able to: Describe how a facility uses energy Discuss the cost of energy Participate in various energy efficiency incentives Identify and prioritize energy efficiency projects Recognize Schneider Electrics role in the area of energy efficiency Agenda Introduction Energy use breakdown The cost of energy Energy efficiency incentives Typical energy projects How to prioritize energy efficiency projects Schneider Electrics contribution to energy efficiency Summary Assessment Survey
