FREE Local Energy Efficiency Training - Learn How to Conduct an Energy Audit
October 27th 2009 Class Sponsored by South County Energy Efficiency Partnership
Santa Barbara, CA— Local professionals are invited to attend the free training "How to Conduct an Energy Efficiency Site Survey” which will be held on October 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Goleta Boys and Girls Club, 5701 Hollister Avenue in Goleta. Registration is required.
This course is provided by Southern California Edison and is sponsored by the South County Energy Efficiency Partnership (SCEEP) -- local governments in partnership with Southern California Edison to help our community save energy, money and the environment.
“How to Conduct an Energy Efficiency Site Survey” is designed to help building owners, maintenance professionals, business owners and facility managers learn how to perform an on-site assessment of potential opportunities for energy efficiency and cost savings. Participants will become familiar with common energy systems like HVAC (Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning), lighting, and refrigeration and field equipment such as motors, fans and pumps. Participants will also learn how to estimate the potential energy savings options through case studies. After the lecture, the class will perform an on-site survey of a facility.
“How to Conduct an Energy Efficiency Site Survey” is being held at the Goleta Boys and Girls Club, an organization that is saving thousands of dollars per year, thanks to a retrofit project sponsored by SCEEP. SCEEP retrofitted the gymnasium lights at both the Carpinteria and Goleta Boys & Girls Clubs, resulting in greater energy efficiency and cost savings.
“Because we were given the opportunity to participate in SCEEP’s retrofit project, we are now saving almost $3,000 a year on our electricity bills,” said Michael Rattray, CEO, United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County. “In these difficult economic times, these savings are a tremendous help for any nonprofit organization. And we’re reducing our environmental footprint as well, with the help of SCEEP.”
“How to Conduct an Energy Efficiency Site Survey” is a free training held primarily for local professionals and there are limited seats available. Those interested in attending can make a reservation by calling (626) 812-7537 or (800) 336-2822 ext. 42537.
