SEM Collaborative: Ongoing Challenges and Opportunities
ET Showcase: Applying Strategic Energy Management in Manufacturing Facilities
8/01/2017 12:00PM - 1:00PM|
Please join the Washington State University Energy Program on Tuesday, August 1, 2017 from 12:00 to 1:00 PM Pacific Time for “Applying Strategic Energy Management in Manufacturing Facilities”. This no-cost webinar is part of Bonneville Power Administration’s Emerging Technologies Showcase series. Click here to register. Strategic Energy Management (SEM), a system of practices and policies that supports achievement of persistent energy savings by integrating energy efficiency as a core business practice, continues to excite interest nationwide. Attend this webinar to learn about the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance’s (NEEA) SEM website and regional SEM Infrastructure, and Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) Energy Smart Industrial (ESI) Program. NEEA’s website, www.semhub.com, launched in early 2017, puts tools and resources into the hands of program administrators and utilities in order to bring SEM to their customers. A BPA ESI Program case study demonstrates how an industrial customer is able to apply principles of continuous improvement to energy management to reduce energy costs. A question and answer session follows the presentation. Sponsored by the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), these webinars bring you the latest information about emerging technologies, practices, and tools that BPA is considering for future research opportunities or focus areas. For more information contact info@E3TNW.org. All webinars are recorded and available on the E3T website, www.E3TNW.org and Conduit, www.ConduitNW.org.
