Does your facility have a strategy for energy management?

Dayton Power & Light presents

Workshop on Strategic Energy Management (SEM) and Advanced Lighting Controls

July 17, 2018, Dayton, OH at the University of Dayton

Industry Expert Led Training for Energy Cost Reduction

The Ohio Center (OCIEE) is sponsoring a workshop on Strategic Energy Management and Advanced Lighting aimed at improving energy efficiency and operations. These sessions provide energy champions with best practices and methods for monitoring, planning, tracking and impacting energy consumption.

The two-part workshop on “Introduction to Strategic Energy Management” and “Advanced Lighting and Controls” will cover:

  • Benefits and building blocks of Strategic Energy Management (SEM)
  • How to achieve results with SEM at your facility
  • The latest improvements in advanced lighting and lighting system controls

The Strategic Energy Management or SEM workshop features the holistic and data-centered methods for generating energy savings and improving system performance. This methodology is consistent with lean, six sigma, and other continuous improvement approaches.

The afternoon workshop will review the current developments in the field of advanced lighting, particularly the newest approaches to lighting system controls.

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.
