40 Building Occupancy Training If your building is going green, CleanEdison is here to support that effort. Our Building Occupancy Training addresses one of the most difficult challenges facing green building efforts: the people involved, from tenants to maintenance and property staff. Buildings do not need comprehensive energy retrofits to save money. In fact, changing the behavior of occupants to conserve energy is an immediate cost-saving measure with a much shorter payback period than more extensive retrofit work. On the other hand, the most energy-efficient and technologically advanced building systems are no good if the occupants of the building do not act in accordance with them. CleanEdison s Building Occupancy Training provides a set of realistic, energy-efficient best practices that will help to reduce overall energy consumption. In this customizable-course, CleanEdison will cover the key behaviors that influence energy efficiency; such as heating controls, window shades, indoor air quality, energy conservation, and waste management policies. There is quick and immediate potential for cost savings in these areas, the proper training is essential to ensure that everyone involved is acting together in a coherent manner. A 2010 study by Mckinsey & Company found that behavior modification can result in immediate savings of 2-4% of annual costs. For buildings that spend large sums on their electricity, heating and cooling bills, the payback period of this training is often only a few months, and can lead to significant savings down the road. In order to make this course customizable to any situation, it has been broken up into modules that can be stacked to provide a comprehensive program, or focused to address a certain problem. CleanEdison s Building Occupany Training consists of any number of the modules listed below: Building Occupancy Training υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ 2-Hour Modules Why Building Occupancy Training? Green Building Survey, & Competitive Differentiator Alternative Energy Concepts Energy Conservation Successful Implementation Water Conservation Lighting Conservation Heating and Cooling Conservation υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ υυ 1-Hour Modules Indoor Air Quality Management Waste Management Programs Green Site Design and Maintenance Sustainable Transportation and Commuting Sustainable Purchasing of Goods Purchasing Policy & Sustainable Consumables Environmentally-Friendly Cleaning plocyy Sustainable Pest Policy ASHRAE Standard Training The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard is a national standard of codes that provides minimum requirements for energy audits and high-performance green buildings. ASHRAE energy audit standards include; Level 1 Preliminary Energy Use & Walk-Through Analysis, Level 2 Energy Survey and Engineering Analysis, and Level 3 Detailed Analysis for Capital-Intensive Modifications. By establishing mandatory criteria in all topic areas of green building, and by providing a compliance path to the International Green Code, ASHRAE is quickly becoming the blueprint for sustainable building and design. ASHRAE covers extensively six topic areas: Site Sustainability, Water Use Efficiency, Energy Efficiency, Indoor Environmental Quality, Building s Impact on the Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Construction and Plans for Operation. 38

41 Corporate Sustainability and Leadership Sustainable practices are those that decrease the amount of energy and resources necessary to create a product or service. Businesses in every any industry can benefit from defining the wasteful elements of their processes and systematically working to correct those flaws. CleanEdison s Corporate Sustainability and Leadership Training will preserve value with less work, reduce waste and improve both customer and environmental value. Properly implemented management philosophies have been proven to lead to reduced operating expenses, higher quality products, and proven measurement tools to evaluate progress over time. Trained staff and managers increase productivity, decrease waste and lead to more profitable businesses. The forces of sustainable consciousness and resource scarcity are making environmental responsibility a necessity, not just a strategy, for major corporations. It is becoming increasingly difficult to simply re-brand products to be green, as the public gradually becomes more wary of greenwashing and starts to pay attention to corporate responsibility indices, such as Innovest s 100 Most Sustainable Companies in the World or the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. In fact, there is a growing body of research that indicates that companies that are successful in implementing and reporting environmental improvements command a market premium in their industry. Moreover, natural resource shortages are expected to affect the core business objectives of most corporations, as forces such as population growth and climate change strain availability often earlier than most companies expect. However, even the most enthusiastic and genuine efforts can be bogged by challenges and setbacks. It can actually be quite difficult to evaluate which green initiatives should be pursued, how to properly implement these programs within the overall business plan, and how to measure tangible benefits. While most companies have detailed records of their cost and revenue streams, environmental costs are often hidden and are considered an ongoing and unavoidable expense of operating a business. While physical resources and labor expenses are often linked directly to products or services, the costs for electricity, real estate, space heating, water, and other environmental expenses tend to be considered overhead costs. Lean is a set of tools that assist in the identification and steady elimination of waste. As waste is eliminated quality improves while production time and cost are reduced. The Lean manufacturing is a variation on the theme of efficiency based on optimizing flow, increasing efficiency, decreasing waste, and using empirical methods to decide what matters, rather than uncritically accepting pre-existing ideas. Six Sigma is a set of tools and strategies for process improvement originally developed by Motorola. Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, including statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization who are experts in these very complex methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follow a defined sequence of steps and has quantified financial targets. A Six Sigma process is one in which % of the products manufactured are statistically expected to be free of defects. Although originated to improve manufacturing processes and eliminate defects, it application has subsequently extended to other types of business processes as well. CleanEdison s Quality Process and Methodology Trainings will help business achieve the high standards of Lean Six Sigma and other project management methodologies. This will lead to a more successful business through continuous improvement, reduced waste and more efficient processes.
