Energy Management Training Study

Abstract

This study lays the foundation for profit improving, cost effective energy management programs. Faced with rising energy costs and fuel shortages, many industrial leaders are emphasizing the growing need for cost reduction through energy management. However, many managers are not adequately informed of potential energy saving techniques to support an effective energy management program. This study, consisting of an energy manual and an interactive computer program, sensitizes people to the present energy situation, discusses the design and implementation of energy management programs and analyzes four major energy saving techniques--power factor improvement, demand control, temperature control, and ventilation control.
