2 ABREU TECHNICAL CORPORATION But, we preserve it! Training Structure Energy Management University of Turabo School of Engineering Puerto Rico Energy Center (PREC) December 2010 Preserving Our Energy Resources and Environment
3 Executive Summary The University of Turabo- School of Engineering is aligned with the latest tendencies toward effective energy management and systems reliability improvements. There are many energy management and conservation aspects that are taking place in today s business and government sectors in order to become competitive and to reduce operational expenses. Today s economy is forcing that residential, commercial, industrial and government sectors become more creative, innovative and efficient on the usage or utilization of energy sources. For these reasons, the University of Turabo, Puerto Rico Energy Center (PREC) and Abreu Technical Corporation (ATC) have joined efforts on the identification, development and implementation of educational programs with strong emphasis on energy conservation, renewable sources and energy efficiency. Also, this joined venture is focused on the search for new educational ways (methods) to provide students and professionals with an outstanding experience which will lead to improved and effective technical skills. The Puerto Rico Energy Center (PREC) is a technical research center that is administered by the University of Turabo; with the main objective of identifying the most efficient methods and ways on how to improve the energy utilization and conservation. Currently, there are many technical activities that are taking place at the PREC with respect to energy matters and efficient technologies. Also, it has supported the Puerto Rico Central Government and other organizations on the development of effective energy management design standards and methods. PREC has worked on the development of educational programs that are focused on energy concepts. Currently, is under the development of a graduate degree on Renewable Energy. As part of the strategic educational process, it was required the development of a well-structure energy management training program, to provide both theoretical and practical experience to the participants. For this reason, the University of Turabo and the Puerto Rico Energy Center (PREC) concluded that there was the need to have an energy consultant (energy auditor) or technical organization that has advanced technical expertise and experience to directly support the development process. During the initial phases of the training developmental phases, Abreu Technical Corporation was invited to be part of this educational program and a formal professional services contract (consulting & engineering) was extended for the development of the training program, including a technical laboratory. Originally, the training program and modules were developed for technical professionals but, ATC noticed that some non-technical professional were interested on the training program which could explode a new strategic sector. For this reason, the energy management training program was re-structured. Abreu Technical Corporation (ATC) is a business & technical organization that provides consulting services in Project Management, Energy Management & Conservation, and Continuous Improvements (Operational Excellence). (ATC) has developed several professional training programs that are aimed on the effective skills and leadership developmental process for professional individuals, business organizations, government sectors, healthcare companies, hospitals and electronic/electrical devices
4 producers. ATC founder, Eng. Angel Abreu, CEM; has more than fourteen (14) years of experience on different engineering and business sectors such as capital projects, energy conservation & efficiency; manufacturing processes, materials and logistics management; operational excellence and advanced engineering applications. He has worked with the PREC on the development of a strategic energy management training program which has been offered to more than 75 participants from different business sectors. The training program is divided into different modules that provide the participants with different theoretical energy concepts which make use of real business cases or hand-on laboratories. These laboratories are designed to provide the participants with the exposure to different energy systems, measurement devices, and energy auditing events. This integration is one of a kind within today s educational programs in the island.
