Introduction to Strategic Energy Management

August 22, 2018, Cincinnati, OH at Anderson Center

Overview

The Ohio Center for Industrial Energy Efficiency in cooperation with Ohio’s Investor-owned utilities has been conducting energy efficiency training programs since 2009. We would like to invite you to a one-day session that will provide an overview of Energy Management Systems. This Seminar, conducted by Graphet Data Mining will focus on those Strategic Energy Management elements that can help any organization continuously improve their energy performance, reduce operating costs and improve their bottom line.

The Full-day Training Event is scheduled for Aug 22, 2018 from 8 AM to 4 PM.

The objective is to learn best practices for measurement, data collection, analysis and reporting that help drive process and operational efficiencies for energy intensive systems. This session benefits site management personnel, decision makers and energy champions.

Please register and find out how energy champions at other sites are incorporating these approaches into their culture to drive actions for efficiency and cost reduction. There is no cost to attend the workshop and lunch is included.
