Introduction
The purpose of this course is to stimulate and motivate the participants to think about how energy efficiency-enhancing measures and technologies available could be implemented in industrial facilities and installations to optimize their performance and improve their operation efficiencies. Energy efficiency saves money, increases the resilience and reliability of the electric grid, and provides environmental, community, and health benefits. Reducing energy consumption and energy efficiency is also good for the planet. It can help to reduce air and water pollution from coal- and gas-fired power plants and avoid negative impacts on critical ecosystems. Energy efficiency delivers several environmental benefits. It notably reduces GHG emissions, both direct emissions from fossil fuel combustion or consumption, and indirect emissions reductions from electricity generation.
Objectives
This course includes the most practical energy-saving measures in the different industries and the building sector Also this course is intended to help participants learn the science and main principles behind renewable energy, energy efficiency, and carbon reduction. Develop the technical capabilities and expertise and problem solving-ability critical and crucial to helping industry and government agencies to reduce energy-related carbon emissions and combat climate change and develop an Energy Management system and a set of practices that create a culture of continual improvement in the energy performance process and achieve energy, cost savings and use useful tools to track energy use and make informative decisions and help to implement energy saving practices.
