Commercial energy-conservation workshops: 1981. Final reports

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5186843
A series of commercial energy management workshops were conducted in four Louisiana cities (New Orleans, Metairie, Shreveport, Baton Rouge) to encourage and facilitate energy conservation in office buildings, apartment buildings, grocery stores, malls and shopping centers and commercial buildings. A multi-faceted marketing program to generate attendance was developed and implemented. Five different energy management workshop manuals were developed, and workshops covering the five different commercial sectors were held in the targeted Louisiana cities. The workshops were well received by the participants attending them, and there were requests by many of the participants for additional similar workshops as well as other specific categories of workshops such as solar, life cycle costing/energy economics, and computerized energy management systems. Energy savings evaluation forms returned to the Department of Natural Resources indicate a majority of those attending the workshops have implemented a new energy management program or updated a current program as a result of attending one of the workshops. Consideration should be given to expanding the commercial workshop program to other Louisiana cities as well as to conducting specific category workshops on subjects such as solar, life cycle costing/energy economics, computerized energy management systems.
