Texas Industrial Energy Management Forum

To register, go to http://texasiof.ceer.utexas.edu/tiof/indmngmt050715.asp

Over the last 10 years, operating companies have developed systems for measuring, analyzing and reporting on their energy performance. This is not a simple process for a company which has a changing product mix which varies over time and in energy intensity. As companies hone their systems, what have they learned? How are the results used by organizations? And is the introduction of ISO 50001 making a difference in the metrics used by manufacturing organizations?

Panelists will provide a 20 minute presentation on the use of energy performance metrics followed by a panel discussion and Q&A from the audience.

Forum Moderator

Frank Roberto, ExxonMobil Chemical Chair, Texas IOF Chemicals and Refining Advisory Committee

Presentations

Rethinking Energy Performance Indicators, Joe Almaguer, The DOW Chemical Co.
