Drive Energy Cost Savings with YOUR Team of Energy Efficiency Practitioners!
Making energy efficiency part of a continuous improvement program requires an investment in training project teams in the knowledge and tools necessary to identify opportunities, develop solutions, and justify investments. Our Energy Efficiency Practitioner Program brings the systematic approach of LEAN manufacturing to the world of energy efficiency. Your team will learn how to conduct an energy survey, incorporate their findings into a value stream map, identify projects with the greatest potential for savings and then present implementation justification to management.
Schedule
Day 1: Introduction to Energy Management & Opportunity Survey
- Includes classroom instruction, data collection, and an energy efficiency walkthrough survey.
- Collection and review of utility bills; assignment of “Homework” for Days 2 & 3.
Day 2: Facility Process Analysis: Current State Energy Stream Mapping (“as is”)
- Trend analysis of utility bills to discover hidden cost savings opportunities
- Development of an energy map that identifies how energy is used, converted, and wasted at your facility.
Day 3: Facility Process Analysis: Future State Energy Stream Mapping (“to be”)
- Update the map with the opportunities identified during the survey and initial mapping exercise.
- Develop a list of opportunities prioritized by difficulty of implementation, estimated project costs, and energy savings. A project “champion” will be assigned to each identified project.
Day 4: Energy Kaizen Day
- Mentoring Day: A Purdue TAP Energy Efficiency Specialist will assist individual team members with data collection, calculations, and project justification to fully scope the selected projects.
Day 5: Project Presentations, Implementation and Certification
- The program will conclude with your team presenting to management business case analyses of projects and investments it has selected for implementation.
