PWP, in partnership with Burbank Water & Power and Glendale
Water & Power, invites its commercial customers to attend FREE workshops on state-of-the-art energy-saving
equipment.
Reserve your seat now for any one or all of the following
six workshops:
WORKSHOP 1:
Save Energy, Save Money: Introduction to Energy Efficiency and
Rebates
Wed., Sept. 10,
2008
8 a.m. - noon
Burbank Buena Vista Library at 300 N. Buena Vista Street in Burbank,
CA
Learn easy ways to reduce energy
usage and how to use utility programs, rebates, and incentives to
help reduce costs. This workshop provides tips on how to save money
on lighting, air conditioning, motors, controls, refrigeration, and
other equipment. Additional topics include how to read your electric
bill and complete your own energy audit.
WORKSHOP 2:
Adjustable Speed Drives
Wed., Oct. 29,
2008
8 a.m. - noon
Location:
Burbank Recycling
Center, 500 S. Flower Street, Burbank [map]
Find out about the choices
available and relevant issues regarding the use of adjustable speed
drives with electric motors, and the energy cost savings and other
benefits made possible by this technology.
WORKSHOP 3:
Air Handling System Efficiency
Tues., Jan. 6,
2009
8 a.m. - noon
Location:
Burbank Buena
Vista Library, 300 Buena Vista Blvd., Burbank [map]
Learn how to minimize the cost of
your commercial facility’s central air conditioning system while
keeping the facility comfortable. Major topics include variable and
constant air volume systems, adjustable speed drives, ventilation,
economy cycle and other efficiency opportunities. With the companion
course “Chilled Water System Efficiency,” this class provides the
foundation for a strong understanding of central plant air
conditioning systems. Class includes a case study that examines
typical variable air volume retrofit economics.
WORKSHOP 4:
Chilled Water System Efficiency
Thurs., Feb. 5,
2009
8 a.m. - noon
Location: TBD
Chilled water systems, which
provide cooling for commercial and industrial facilities, often
account for a major portion of the energy consumed in these
facilities. Attendees will learn how technology improvements can
reduce energy costs by more than half. Topics include chiller
machinery, refrigerant options, the impact of using variable speed
for compressors, system pumps, and cooling towers. In addition, a
case study will be presented that shows how an energy-efficient
chiller was selected. With the companion course “Air Handling System
Efficiency,” this class provides the foundation for a strong
understanding of central plant air conditioning systems.
WORKSHOP 5:
Cooling Tower Efficiency
Thurs., April 9, 2009
8 a.m. - noon
Location: TBD
This course will address several
cooling tower efficiency measures and other issues, including
cooling tower sizing, approach control strategies (efficient fan
operation), water treatment (including ozone), and water
conservation. This course includes a case study exercise that works
through an example of how a cost-effective and efficient cooling
tower was selected.
WORKSHOP 6:
Energy Management Systems (EMS)
Thurs., June 18, 2009
8 a.m. - noon
Location: TBD
Attendees will learn how to
maximize savings using the most current technology in HVAC control
methods. This course will explore a systematic approach for
identifying, designing, and planning an EMS, as well as
communication networks, conducting equipment studies, conceptual
system design, and cost/benefit analysis. This seminar is
recommended for those who have some understanding of HVAC systems
and want to know more about the potential operating cost savings
with an EMS.
