This two-hour online seminar provides strategies for building organization-wide consensus support for energy improvements.
AIA Learning Units Eligible
This course has been approved by AIA for continuing education credits. The Association of Energy Engineers is now an approved training provider within the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education Systems (CES) Registered Provider program. The AIA requires that its registered architect members earn 18 Learning Unit (LU) hours of continuing education credit annually (eight hours of which must be related to Health, Safety, and Welfare topics and four of those eight in Sustainable Design) to remain in good standing. Architectural boards in 40 states, 10 Canadian Provinces, and 19 countries have implemented mandatory continuing education (MCE) for re-licensure.
You can participate in the seminar from your office, home, or anywhere you have access to the internet and a phone. You'll have opportunities to interact with your instructor and colleagues in real time during the live two-hour teleconferencing session.
About the Seminar
Virtually all facilities have potential energy savings, and energy engineers can prove it. But do the directors of finance, operations, procurement, maintenance, and other departments understand what the solutions entail? The key to implementing energy improvements is to demonstrate to other department managers "what's in it for them" should they support these efforts. This is done by showing how the net benefits of energy improvements will filter down to a facility's bottom line. Doing this will help to overcome departmental resistance to spending a dime that in reality will result in the entire organization's saving a dollar. The successful energy manager's agenda becomes a hub from which win-win solutions are distributed across departments. Instead of competing internally, departments then work collectively to improve their organization's external competitiveness.
