The Premier Energy Training Workshop and Exposition for Federal Agencies!
Session Details — Grand Canyon
1. Selling Energy Efficiency and Energy Efficient Products to the Federal Government
| Speakers: | |
| Track: | Grand Canyon |
| Date/Time: | Monday, 8/4/2008, 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM |
Take-Aways:
Different programs within the DOE have decades of experience with promoting tools, products and training opportunities that can be applied towards improving the energy efficiency of Federal facilities. These resources, along with several successful examples, will be identified for the audience.
Description:
The Federal government is a leader in the development and use of energy efficiency technologies. During this session participants will learn how DOE assists manufacturers with developing new technologies, how FEMP assists with the purchase of energy efficient products and the concerted efforts by agencies, ESCOs, and staff from the National Laboratories have demonstrated that Energy Savings Performance Contracts can be a useful vehicle for deploying innovative emerging technologies. This course will discuss the policies, tools, training and resources that are being used to make Federal facilities more energy efficient.
