MANAGERS and supervisors from 50 industrial and service companies in Cebu attended the two-day national training workshop on energy efficiency and conservation at the Crown Regency Mactan.

MANAGERS and supervisors from 50 industrial and service companies in Cebu attended the two-day national training workshop on energy efficiency and conservation at the Crown Regency Mactan.

The training is aimed at introducing the Asean-developed Total Energy Management (TEM) handbook to 600 companies nationwide in order to generate energy savings of around P60 billion annually.

The handbook provides a system that will enable companies to establish targets and develop their energy efficiency and conservation programs.

It is designed for use in industries by factory managers, middle managers, engineers, workers and equipment operators. It was first introduced in Thailand in 2005 and made excellent results of energy savings of about US $1.2 million in seven months.

The participants were also trained on efficient transport system and fuel efficiency; efficient combustion controls; heat rate improvements; efficient heat, ventilation and air conditioning system; efficient lighting systems and efficient electric motors.

Training speakers were energy experts from Department of Energy and top energy service companies in the country.
The DOE also discussed the Don Emilio Abello Energy Efficiency Awards given yearly to outstanding companies and energy managers who have undertaken energy efficiency and conservation programs.

Other energy awards are the Asean Best Practices Award in Buildings and Asean Energy Management Award in Major Industries and Buildings.

The Cebu leg was the 10th run of the 15 training-workshops conducted nationwide by the DOE in partnership with the Development Academy of the Philippines.
