ABOUT THE SEMINAR
Despite all its potential and many successes, performance contracting (PC) has had its share of pitfalls. While PC has been the critical answer to energy efficiency needs and tight money problems, sometimes difficulties are ignored or covered up. In some instances, problems have kept projects from saving the energy and/or the money promised. All too often simple steps could have avoided these very painful results.

Dr. Shirley Hansen, who has been a strong advocate of PC for 25 years in over 30 countries, has seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. In this course, she reveals many dilemmas facing customers and ESCOs, which could have been avoided. This 8-hour online course will provide you with:

  • A battery of tips that could save you millions
  • A critical look at the basics, which often elude us
  • A hard look at the real risks in PC
  • Ways ESCOs can avoid being dubbed "creatively challenged"
  • Procedures to deal with difficult customers and ineffective ESCOs
  • A review of energy audits - fact or fiction
  • A new look at the hidden competition: maintenance
  • A realistic assessment of M&V's strengths and weaknesses and its real role
  • A strategy for making the business case for energy efficiency
  • An eye opening look at new opportunities

The course is designed to:

  • Identify and avoid costly mistakes customers and ESCOs make
  • Give engineers a more critical role in the PC industry
  • Aid ESCOs in re-engineering their services and presentations
  • Create background and format for more effective due diligence by bankers
