The US Department of Energy (DOE) sponsors Energy Saving Assessments (ESAs) through the Save Energy Now (SEN) program. As part of this, the DOE fully or partly sponsors 3-day teaching assessments of various energy-intensive systems for industry, including pumping, fans, compressed air, process heating and steam systems.

Go Sustainable Energy has DOE pumping system Energy Experts on staff, and has conducted several pumping system assessments at large industrial sites. Industrial facilities with large pumping loads may be eligible for DOE sponsored assessments. For more information, please see the DOE’s website (below) or contact us.

Go Sustainable Energy is happy to conduct these teaching assessments for other pumping-intense facilities, such as water or wastewater treatment plants. However, these teaching assessments would not be eligible for DOE funding.

The Building Operator Certification (BOC) program is a multi-day course which certifies facility and maintenance staff on energy-efficiency principals of building energy use. The program is also promoted by the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, and is offered in the Midwest states of Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Missouri. In Ohio, the BOC program is administered by the Ohio Public Facilities Maintenance Association (OPFMA). Go Sustainable Energy has BOC instructors on staff for the 101 Building Systems Overview, 102 Energy Conservation Techniques and 104 Efficient Lighting Fundamentals courses. The following links provide information on the program and its sponsors:

Energy use is very dependent on operational procedures, occupant behavior, purchasing practices, design principles and other daily decisions. Ultimately, energy efficiency principals must be incorporated into these processes. Therefore, Go Sustainable Energy offers educational workshops for facilities and maintenances staff, occupants and other staff.
