Energy Conservation Through Education and Training

Abstract

A successful energy conservation program at a large industrial complex depends on the participation and active contribution of the entire staff. In order to achieve this goal it is essential for people to have an overall understanding and insight as well as the tools of the trade. These key ingredients are provided through education and training as part of the energy conservation program at the Shell Oil Company Deer Park Manufacturing Complex. This paper describes the philosophy, organization and coordination of an energy conservation endeavor that promotes a high degree of personnel motivation, initiative and cooperation. The methods used to accomplish the educational and training aspects are discussed.
