This online training (via MS Teams) provides practical tools for evaluating and implementing cost-effective energy projects in manufacturing. Participants will learn to apply Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) and explore topics such as utility rate structures, power factor analysis, load shifting, and compressed air systems. Through real-world case studies and hands-on exercises, attendees will learn how to analyze energy cost drivers, interpret data, and align energy efficiency initiatives with long-term financial and sustainability goals.

The course is taught by Dr. Ethan Languri, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, licensed Professional Engineer (PE), and Director of the Industrial Assessment Center at Tennessee Tech University.

Ideal for plant managers, engineers, energy and sustainability professionals, and decision-makers, the course awards a certificate of completion and qualifies for self-reported professional development hours.
