Industrial Energy Utilization and Environmental Impacts

Organizational approaches to establish, implement, maintain and improve industrial energy and sustainability, including ISO 50001 energy management systems and lean principles. Approaches apply to all aspects of energy use and enable an organization to take a systematic approach to achieving continual improvement of energy and environmental sustainability performance. Implementation of lean practices prevents pollution, reduces waste and highlights opportunities to reuse. How to define, develop and manage sustainable solutions including core concepts associated with leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) and greenhouse gas inventory methods are covered. Topics will be discussed from an applied perspective of technology practices, management, responsibilities, and policies
