Conference Educational Tracks INTRODUCTION TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY | Conservation Improvement Program overview and natural gas price update. Learn about CenterPoint Energy's commercial and industrial rebates for energy efficient natural gas equipment and hear a natural gas price update. Advanced boiler optimization: Look beyond the boiler system and consider the following equipment and processes to improve the efficiency of your system without replacing your entire boiler system: ultralow excess air burners, advanced burner controls and oxygen trim, sensible heat economizers, latent heat condensing economizer systems for multiple boilers, condensing economizer control systems, draft controls for energy efficiency (stack dampers), turbulators, boiler tuning, and steam trap repair/replacement. Steam trap system maintenance and how it can save you money. Learn how determining a maintenance plan for your system's steam traps can help you save money and energy by getting your system to operate at maximum efficiency. | NATURAL GAS VEHICLES (NGVs) | Natural gas vehicles (NGVs) 101:This session will focus on the reasons for using natural gas vehicles for your fleet -- they provide economic benefits, there is an abundant domestic supply and are they environmentally clean. You'll also learn about compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling options, tank placement, natural gas advantages and pricing. Building a business case for NGVs: From equipment and cost, to operation and maintenance, this session will help you will learn how to make a business case for incorporating natural gas vehicles into your business' fleet - ultimately saving your business money. Natural gas vehicle customer panel: Hear how KwikTrip, Inc., is incorporating natural gas, compressed natural gas and liquified natural gas into its business plan, from their own vehicle fleet to adding the infrastucture for public use. | TECHNOLOGIES/INNOVATION WITH NATURAL GAS EQUIPMENT Industrial refrigeration heat recovery opportunities:
Many facilities that use industrial refrigeration systems are increasingly focusing on identifying operating principles and technologies that can effectively improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their utility infrastructure. Since refrigeration is often the single largest energy consumer in food production and storage facilities, it is a natural target for efficiency improvements, as well as a source for heat recovery opportunities. This presentation discusses the opportunities and limitations of recovering heat from the refrigeration system. Unleashing the power of sustainable technology – heating and cooling with natural gas :
Learn about the features, benefits and merits of heating and cooling with natural gas, project applications, current installations, LEED and proven successes. Custom rebate projects:
Discover how you can save energy and money using CenterPoint Energy's custom rebate program. You'll hear real-life examples of custom projects and learn how to receive a custom rebate dollar amount in seconds with a new calculator tool created by CenterPoint Energy technical sales engineers. | |
