Your staff’s involvement and support are vital to a successful energy management program.  Gaining that support requires an understanding of the systems and processes.  With a little guidance, your own personnel can become the most important part of your energy management effort. Casolari & Associates can develop training programs tailored to your specific needs.  These are not canned programs, but training sessions designed around your own systems and operations.  Examples of the programs we can develop for you include:

• Utility Tracking

Casolari & Associates can train your personnel on the proper tracking of energy usage and costs.  We can help you develop a database of energy information that will facilitate the preparation of accurate energy forecasts and budgets.   Then we can show you how to gain the greatest benefit from the data. Reliable energy data will also be important to the evaluation of energy related projects and programs.
 

• BAS Optimization

Many facilities have Building Automation Systems (BAS) that are under utilized.  Casolari & Associates can show your personnel how to monitor and optimize these systems.  This is more than identifying and programming system points. It is understanding the underlying system operation and knowing how to make full use of the system capabilities and data.  When operating properly, a BAS will help to improve comfort, reduce operating costs, and assist maintenance operations.
 

• Lighting Management

One of the most visible, but neglected, systems in many facilities is the lighting system. Casolari & Associates can develop the processes and teach your personnel how to manage lighting systems to reduce overall costs while taking full advantage of lamp and ballast manufacturer’s warranties.
