FEMP First Thursday Update Covers Strategies for Renewable Energy Deployment

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) will present Strategic Portfolio Planning for Renewable Energy Deployment: REopt, a new First Thursday Update webinar on January 7, 2015, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. 

This First Thursday Update will provide current information about how to develop a strategic approach to enterprise-wide renewable energy deployment, including systematic approaches to meet agency-wide strategic sustainability goals. This update will offer a special focus on the Renewable Energy Optimization Tool (REopt) as an expert service available from FEMP.

Webinar instructors will discuss how REopt quickly and efficiently screens potential opportunities across a wide portfolio of agency sites, examines different scenarios and sensitivities, and quantitatively prioritizes opportunities for further study and investment.

Participants will learn to:

• Develop systematic approaches to achieve enterprise-wide sustainability goals
• Gain insight from successful projects other agencies have implemented
• Take advantage of REopt, the Renewable Energy Optimization service.

The instructors for this webinar are Brad Gustafson, supervisor for Technical Services at FEMP; Kate Anderson, senior engineer and manager at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); and Rachel Shepherd, renewable energy program manager at FEMP. 

After completing a course evaluation and multiple-choice assessment, participants will receive a certificate of completion for this unaccredited webinar. Continuing education units (CEUs) are not available for First Thursday Updates. 

FEMP First Thursday Updates are designed for federal energy and facility managers but are open to all individuals on the FEMP Training Catalog.
