Event Description

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Plants Program and Oak Ridge National Laboratory are offering Better Plants Bootcamps to drive decarbonization and strengthen energy management practices within US companies. The Bootcamps were created to educate attendees on the key aspects of industrial decarbonization and energy efficiency. The events offer participants opportunities for extensive, hands-on learning, networking with peers, and interactive sessions with leading experts. Attendees will also learned about how to use diagnostic equipment along with DOE’s free software tools for identifying energy and carbon savings opportunities and quantifying cost savings. 

The Better Plants Energy Bootcamp, taking place on February 24 – 28, 2025, will cover topics including: improving energy efficiency of common energy systems, establishing an energy management system, enhancing and sustaining manufacturing facilities’ energy performance, and developing decarbonization roadmaps. 

Learning Outcomes -

• Fundamental principles and concepts of common industrial energy systems
• How to identify opportunities in major energy systems
• How to use diagnostic equipment to take energy measurements
• How to access and utilize DOE’s free energy management/assessment software tools
• The components needed to establish a world-class energy management system 
• Understand how energy impacts carbon and how to develop a decarbonization roadmap

Note: The number of participants for this bootcamp is limited to 65, so please register as soon as possible!
