August 30, 2004—Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announces that its Practical Energy Management (PEM) program is now available nationwide. Originally developed for the state of Wisconsin’s Focus on Energy Program, PEM is designed to help companies integrate energy management into their ongoing business practices for the purpose of reducing their energy use and costs.
It provides a template that users can populate with their specific information to quickly and easily establish a sound program for managing energy resources within their organization.
According to SAIC, PEM is not simply a how-to-guide. The three-ring binder and CD include formatted spreadsheets for estimating the energy use of facilities and equipment. Other spreadsheets enable users to estimate energy and cost savings from implementing best practices for common systems such as light, process steam, compressed air, heating, cooling and ventilation. PEM also include document templates that users can modify to fit their needs for things such as energy policy statements, energy project prioritization, and energy team meeting agendas.
PEM can be delivered in a variety of methods ranging from the half-day group seminars to a series of five two-hour classroom sessions designed for progressive implementation of the material to intensive on-site assistance for individual companies. PEM is suitable for large or small organizations in the public or private sectors. It can be delivered to individual companies or through cooperating organizations such as utilities or business and professional associations.
