2006 Industrial Energy Summit
The energy outlook for the United States has changed substantially over the last few years and stands as one of the most significant issues facing industry today. Manufacturers readily embrace energy conservation and efficiency, and are heavily investing in measures to reduce their energy consumption. However, energy management involves more than implementing efficiency projects. Individuals attending this one-day seminar will learn how to strategically manage energy as a resource not just as an overhead cost.
