Energy Management, presented by Gary Wamsley, and Advanced! Microsoft® Project for Maintenance, by Andrew Levitt will debut September 18 – 19, 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

“Traditionally, we begin each series of open-enrollment seminars in New Orleans,” notes Project Coordinator Tessa Marquis, “both in the Fall and in the Spring of each year.”

“New Orleans is symbolic of celebration and new beginnings,” Marquis says, “and our seminars are an opportunity for people to take a fresh look at their facilities and start anew.”

Energy Management is an extensive technical seminar that includes all utility systems, process systems critique, energy balances, benchmarking and hundreds of proven energy savings ideas. The instructor, Senior Consultant Gary W. Wamsley specializes in On-Site Energy Assessments & Utility System Reviews for commercial and industrial plants. Wamsley is a Registered Professional Engineer in four states, a Certified Energy Manager with AEE, and a Certified Plant Engineering Manager.
