What's It About?

This Ask the Experts series will address both the complexity of boiler systems and identify various program approaches currently offered by our members. As Part 1 of this series, this session will focus on the key items that program managers need to understand about boiler systems in order to run good programs. This session will provide a foundation for members and non-members alike in the fundamentals of commercial and industrial boilers.

The goal of this session is to provide a grounding in the understanding of boiler systems that translates into improved design and operation of commercial and industrial boiler programs. The presentations will address the following topics/questions:

• What are the key elements of boiler systems that need to be considered when running a boiler program?
• Where are the savings opportunities in boiler systems?
• Where is the "low-hanging fruit"?
• How do these differ between commercial and industrial systems?
• What are some lessons learned about these savings opportunities?
