ABOUT THE COURSE

This course caters to Building Operators, Energy Engineers, Energy Managers, Technicians, Facilities Managers, Energy Professionals, Sustainability Managers and other industry stakeholders who are interested in enhancing their understanding of the concept of energy and utilities, and would like to learn about methods, best practices and strategies for reducing energy demand, energy consumption and energy costs in an industrial, commercial, transportation, and residential environments.

Pertinent statistical data for all of these sectors are discussed to help the participants appreciate the significant energy cost differences among these four sectors. The importance of our faceted energy outlook is explained and discussed. This course addresses, in depth, usage, cost and conservation of energy in its more common forms such as electrical, compressed air, fuel/natural gas, steam, and heat, etc. This course will familiarize attendees with various ways of reducing energy cost through well planned, specific and results oriented projects and proven methods of operation.

The instructor-with years of experience in energy project implementation and energy program/process development–shows how substantial energy cost reduction can be achieved with little or no capital investment, and in some cases, how cost of energy can be minimized without making substantial reductions in actual energy consumption.

Some of such projects can be pursued in collaboration with and through sponsorship of local utility companies and incentive programs. Some of the myths associated with electricity and gas contracts are exposed. Energy audits and tools needed to perform audits are discussed. Energy Management Systems and Energy Monitoring Systems, are covered. The attendees will also be, briefly, introduced to some of the more proven renewable energy alternatives. The audience is engaged through Q&A, classwork, and ad hoc discussions pertaining to the topic. Board acceptance guarantee.

Learning Objectives - Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Apply principles and concepts associated with common forms of energy (electric, hydrocarbon, compressed air, steam, stack heat, etc.) in an industrial or commercial environment to assess the energy intensity and energy productivity differences between alternative manufacturing and process systems, with a clear understanding of the physics and engineering fundamentals of energy in its various forms.

• Apply energy engineering metrics - associated with different forms of energy, i.e. electrical, hydrocarbon fuel energy, heat energy, pressure energy, etc. - to quantify how much energy is being consumed and how efficiently energy is being utilized in operations and facilities of various types. Examples of energy metrics include MMBtus, MMBtus/ton or product, kWh, kWh/ton of product, Joules, etc.

• Identify, evaluate and implement high value energy conservation opportunities based on energy facts, energy engineering principles, application of SCADA, Supervisory Controls and Data Acquisition, type Energy Management Systems (EMS). Develop architecture and design of EMS systems for specific energy measurement, real-time monitoring – and in some cases – energy conservation related control applications.

• Know the symbiotic relationship between energy efficiency and equipment sustainability. Apply proven energy engineering and equipment sustainability best practices that can minimize overall energy intensity and enhance equipment durability in industrial, commercial and residential facilities, and in transportation arena.

• Apply a four-faceted approach in the development of corporate or facility level energy management plan. This four-faceted approach includes: (1) Focus on Energy Productivity Improvement, (2) Focus on Energy Cost Minimization, (3) Focus on Energy Supply/Source and (4) Energy Storage.

• Apply Power Factor and Load Factor improvement engineering principles and methods to enhances electrical power quality, electrical energy productivity and electrical equipment sustainability. Calculation of power factor and load factor will be illustrated in addition to quantification of the benefits realized through these efforts.

• Distinguish between high efficacy and low efficacy lighting systems on the basis of watts/lumen or watts/foot-candle and apply coefficient of utilization approach in the design and specification of facility illumination systems – all, ultimately precipitating in lower overall energy intensity.

• Apply proven best practices in the HVAC realm to achieve optimal HVAC system operation and higher energy productivity.

• Apply proven best practices in the operation and maintenance of compressed air systems to maximize their utilization and to minimize energy intensity associated with compressed air generation, distribution and consumption.

Why you shouldn’t miss this seminar – How this seminar can benefit your organizations, what is unique about this course:

• Are you responsible for reducing the energy intensity, or increasing the energy productivity, in your operations or those of your clients’, and you feel inadequately prepared to lead the effort; or perhaps you don’t know where to begin? Then, this seminar is a must.

• Do you, as an engineer, facility manager or energy manager, feel that your knowledge and understanding of larger energy cost reduction opportunities needs enhancement? Then you must not miss this proven and frequently updated seminar.

• Do you feel that financial justification of energy conservation projects is an “uphill battle” in your organization? Then, this seminar will give you the opportunity to air you challenges and frustrations. You will learn about some proven approaches – both technical and financial – for successful energy project funding and implementation.

• How often do you get a chance to attend a course or a seminar that is presented by the author of the books on the subject matter? In this seminar, you will have the opportunity to interact and learn from Bobby Rauf, the author of the texts, titled: (1) Thermodynamics Made Simple for Energy Engineers, and (2) Electrical Engineering for Non-Electrical Engineers. (Copies of these books are available at additional cost).

• As an engineer, energy professional, facilities manager do you find the concept of power factor, the application and benefits of VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives), application of EMS (Energy Management Systems) – as energy conservation measures – elusive? Then, this seminar will present an excellent opportunity to remedy that.

• So, as a plant engineer, facilities manager or energy professional, you know that the compressed air is a costly resource from energy point of view, yet, you are not sure where to begin short of performing audits and hiring “experts” to curb the cost associated with the operation of large air compressors and minimization of compressed air wastage. This seminar will show you practical, common sense and proven best practices to make a measurable difference, with the least amount of\ cost.

• Some seminars and courses end up being monotonous monologues from the presenter to the audience. Not this one. In this seminar, you will get an opportunity to air questions, share your success stories in the energy arena, learn how to avoid costly mistakes, through discussions with the instructor and other members of the audience.

Who should attend:
• Licensed Professional Engineers, who need to meet the annual or biennial license renewal PDH (Professional Development Hour) or CEU (Continuing Education Unit) requirements. This energy seminar couples engineering concepts and knowledge with energy conservation concepts and best practices.

• Facility Managers, Engineering Managers, Building Operators, Energy Professionals,, Project Managers and other executives who feel a need to enhance their energy engineering knowledge, to make informed decisions on energy projects or programs.

I had had it with cheaply functioning wine bottle openers!
Color: Silver, Number of Items: 1
I like a manually functioning wine bottle opener. This one is smooth and easy to use and I didn't feel like I would cut my finger when removing the cork from the opener. Would definitely recommend!

A Surprisingly Premium, No-Nonsense Corkscrew That Just Works
Color: Silver, Number of Items: 1
I’ve gone through more corkscrews than I care to admit. Some cute, some clever, some that looked great on the countertop but absolutely fell apart the second they met a stubborn cork. This opener immediately impressed me with how solid and dependable it feels. The zinc alloy gives it a weight and sturdiness that you notice the moment you pick it up, and it has that “built to last” vibe you don’t usually get at this price point. What I love most is that there’s no learning curve, no gimmicks, and no unnecessary parts that will eventually loosen or snap. It’s the kind of tool that feels familiar but elevated. The turning mechanism is smooth, controlled, and surprisingly effortless, even on older bottles where the cork can be unpredictable. The wings rise evenly, don’t wobble, and give you a ton of leverage, so removing the cork feels almost too easy. It also doubles as a great bottle opener, and I appreciate that it actually feels like a bottle opener you can trust rather than a flimsy add-on tucked in as an afterthought. If you want something flashy for your bar cart, this may not be the centerpiece. But if you’re looking for a reliable, heavy-duty corkscrew that quietly outperforms the pretty ones, this is it. An incredibly solid value and easily one of the most dependable openers I’ve owned.

Classic design and good sturdy quality
Color: Silver, Number of Items: 2
Let's just address the elephant in the room. My family says I am cheap, but I call it thrifty. Either way, I bought a couple of cork screws earlier that left like they would break at any moment when pushing down the arms, and after a few bottles, one arm did bend. So this time, i paid attention to the reviews and chose these cork screws as the review said they are solid quality. The review was correct. This design is pretty fool proof and easy for anyone to use. You do not need super human strength to pull the cork. Just remove the foil, screw the sharp coil into the cork until the arms have reached the top of their range, the place the bottle on a hard surface and push both arms down. Easy peasy. The bad openers I mentioned earlier did not have anything on the opener arms and the metal was thin. It did not provide a good feel. These cork screws have thicker arms and have a rubber grip on them which provides a much more comfortable operation. I would definitely recommend these cork screws for quality and value.
