San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), along with the San Diego Mathematics, Engineering, and Science Achievement (MESA) Alliance, hosted a unique event that brought student leaders and professionals together to network, collaborate and exchange ideas for improving math and science education. The event was sponsored by National Society of Black Engineers Professionals San Diego and co-sponsored by the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers San Diego Professional Chapter, to increase the number of students to pursue academic and career paths in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) industries, increase retention in these disciplines, and promote opportunities in energy efficiency, sustainability, and green career pathways.

Integrating energy efficiency, demand response and renewables is key to managing energy effectively in your facilities. This class will first cover opportunities to manage energy related to lighting, HVAC, refrigeration, boilers, pumps, motors, and self-generation as well as the benefits of doing so. This material will be presented in the context of an actionable roadmap for improving energy management: where to start; what to look for; how to quantify the costs and benefits; how to identify sources of financing; tips for getting project installed and verifying results; and, next steps for continuous improvement.

Comments closedThrough the San Diego MESA Alliance, college students will have a unique experience to witness the “real world” of work in an engineering or scientific environment. Your involvement will provide a great opportunity for our up and coming students to “test the waters” in a field of their interest and see first-hand how classroom skills relate to the workplace. What better way to do that, than observe and work with a professional in action! You the employer, can make a positive impact on the lives of students; future engineers and scientists!

Comments closedCalifornia’s Energy Action Plan clearly states the priorities of the loading order – energy efficiency and demand response. Further, the policy vision is that “energy efficiency, energy conservation, demand response, advanced metering, and distributed generation technologies are offered as elements of an integrated solution that supports energy and carbon reduction goals immediately…” This seminar focuses on how an integrated systems approach incorporating enabling technologies optimizes energy efficiency and demand management. Examples of how systems are relevant to each other in achieving energy efficiency and demand management will be shared.
