ES2 Behavioral Program Webinar: Updates to PSO’s Energy Efficiency Incentives

Did you know that utility company incentive programs are assessed and redesigned every three years? 2016 marks the beginning of a new three-year program cycle, so it’s important for each organization’s energy management staff to learn about the new incentive opportunities and parameters.

This webinar will discuss the new utility incentives that will be provided by PSO for the next three years. A PSO representative will introduce the incentives available for commercial buildings in PSO’s territory, what has changed from the old program, and how to apply for an incentive.

Organizations that have issued a purchase order to ES2 in order to enroll in the behavioral program are invited to register for this month's energy manager webinar. Please register at least one hour in advance of the webinar.

Energy Saving Tip: Help Keep Your Equipment, and Savings, Around for Awhile

In addition to reducing the cost of building ownership, regularly scheduled operations and maintenance (O&M) tasks can reduce energy consumption while simultaneously increasing the comfort and health of your occupants. Equipment manufacturers typically provide detailed instructions for regular maintenance. These should be aggregated and developed into a plan that integrates existing duties. This will not only help to reduce labor costs, but will also improve coordination between various staff members. Tasks should include:

  • Changing filters.
  • Adjusting belt tension.
  • Lubricating bearings.
  • Cleaning coils.
  • Servicing equipment according to the manufacturer’s specifications.

 

For more information, refer to the FEMP Operations & Maintenance Best Practices Guide, which is also available in Teamwork
