Workforce Development
EII strengthens the manufacturing workforce through hands-on training, workshops, and peer-learning opportunities. Participants develop practical skills to identify and implement energy-saving measures, enhance operations and maintenance, and apply best practices that drive sustained performance across energy-intensive systems.
This training guides manufacturers through establishing an energy management system based on the ISO 50001 standard. Participants use tools like the 50001 Ready Navigator and EnPI Lite to analyze energy use, set baselines, and begin implementing continual improvement.
Designed for industrial refrigeration systems using ammonia, this training covers compressor basics, condensers, evaporators, and defrost optimization, while helping participants identify energy-saving opportunities specific to these systems.
Focused on compressed air systems, this training drills into system fundamentals, controls, air treatment, distribution, and identifying inefficiencies. Participants learn to assess their own systems and model savings using DOE tools.
This hands-on learning method enables cross-functional teams to physically walk through their facility, map energy flows, uncover waste and low-cost savings opportunities, and turn findings into actionable improvement projects.
This training addresses industrial fan systems, covering system basics, performance assessment, and optimization practices using software tools like MEASUR to identify energy-saving potential in fan-driven loads.
Designed for chilled-water and other process-cooling systems, this training covers fundamentals of system operation, modelling with tools like CWSAT, and quantifying efficiency opportunities in large cooling loads and associated equipment.
This training offers deep insight into industrial heating systems–including ovens, furnaces, kilns, and dryers– teaching participants how to assess heat balance, use diagnostic tools, apply waste-heat recovery, and model energy improvements.
For manufacturing facilities with significant liquid flow systems, this training covers pumping fundamentals, system curves, variable speed operatio0n, and use of diagnostic tools to uncover inefficiencies and cost-saving measures.
This session focuses on industrial steam systems: generation, distribution, end-use, recovery, and optimization. Participants learn how to model their steam operations, evaluate losses, and prioritize efficiency opportunities using DOE tools.
This training helps manufacturers identify non-energy waste (material, process, operational) and link waste reduction to energy and cost savings. It empowers teams to apply lean and continuous improvement frameworks to support efficiency and operational excellence.
Targeting water-intensive operations, this training covers methods to benchmark, measure, and reduce water use, integrate water-energy cost savings strategies, and identify opportunities where water efficiency drives broader operational improvements.
