In every industry, from retail outlets to manufacturing plants, energy costs are a large part of each facility's operating expenses. With energy costs continuing to rise, it is imperative that businesses learn to manage their energy consumption.

This course provides the answer to this question, as well as: Who should be in charge of my company's energy management program?
