June 5, 2012: DOE Selects Teams to Train Certified Practitioners in Energy Management
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Manufacturing Office has selected two teams led by Georgia Tech Research Corp. and UL DQS Inc. and granted them licenses to train certified practitioners in energy management systems. These licenses allow the teams to provide energy efficiency skills, tools, and technology training and the necessary expertise to implement the new International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 50001 energy management standard for industrial plants and commercial facilities.
Selection of the two winning teams was the result of an open nationwide competition. UL DQS Inc. partnered with Schneider Electric, ARCADIS, and Integrated Renewable Energy to provide training expertise, and KRILLO Consulting Partners and UL University to provide design and delivery logistics. The second team — consisting of the Georgia Tech Research Corp. and the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) — draws upon a network of energy efficiency experts to market and deliver certified practitioner training.
