Explore how serious steam system incidents often begin with subtle warnings. This session examines the real-world conditions and behaviors that lead to injuries and failures, and how to recognize and prevent them before they escalate.
Explore how blowdown heat recovery systems capture and reuse thermal energy that would otherwise be wasted, improving overall boiler plant efficiency while reducing fuel consumption, water usage, and operating costs.
Timothy Unruh, NAESCO's Executive Director, is our guest speaker to discuss the basics of ESPCs and ideas for future ESPCs! The Energy Service Company (ESCO) business has been around for 40+ years and continues to thrive today. We will start by reviewing the basics of the industry and its Energy Savings Performance Contract (ESPC) product. Included with this will be a case study to show how it really can work. After establishing a solid foundation, we will move into some new thoughts about ESPCs and where they could go. We will cover project leveraging, the role of Grid-interactive Efficient Buildings (GEBs), Energy as a Service and NAESCOs new efforts to secure legislation for our Sustainable Capital Improvement Project (SCIP). Learning Objectives: Understand how an ESPC works. Understand the role of Financing in building projects Realize the opportunity for Leveraging funds in an ESPC Learning how new contract structures can benefit building retrofit projects
