Energy Trust of Oregon’s Strategic Energy Management Update
Posted by Melissa Aaberg
This year, the Rock Creek campus will be participating in the Energy Trust’s Strategic Energy Management initiative. The Strategic Energy Management program is a cohort-based energy management effort where participating organizations gain energy savings in building operations and occupant behavior. It focuses on both the technical and human aspects to ensure maximum benefits.
The Energy Trust is partnering with Strategic Energy Group for this initiative. It requires participation in several workshops, focusing on organizational and technical aspects, and also provides one-on-one sessions, tools, and templates to enhance energy management. The program is designed so that participating organizations can also learn from one another. This year’s cohort has participants from higher education, government, and the private sector.
PCC’s team will be led by the executive sponsor, Dr. Fowler-Hill, and the Energy Champion, Laura Ward. Others from facilities, sustainability, campus leadership, IT, finance, etc. will be involved. The program is free of cost and estimated value is $100,000. PCC will receive incentives for energy saved at $0.02 per kWh and $0.20 per therm.
