Comprehensive 5-Day CEM Training Program for Energy Managers Helps Meet ANSI/MSE 2000 Management System for Energy Standard
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has adopted the Management System for Energy (ANSI/MSE 2000) as a national standard. Developed by the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute’s Energy and Environmental Management Center, ANSI/MSE 2000 is the first nationally recognized management system that practically addresses how industries can positively impact the country’s energy resources through their energy usage. It applies to all organizations including manufacturing, commercial, government, and institutional. Companies implementing MSE 2000 must employ professionals who are knowledgeable in energy planning, monitoring, analysis, project development, and implementation. Completion of the Comprehensive 5-Day Training Program for Energy Managers meets this requirement. MSE 2000 targets cost savings, and can substantiate an organization’s commitment to continuous improvement. Proactive energy management based on MSE 2000 principles will improve organizational energy efficiency, enhance sustainability, and help increase operational energy security by reducing energy resource consumption. These improvements create a positive public image for participating organizations. MSE 2000 institutes a team-based, organization-wide approach that includes participants from all areas of the organization involved with energy, from purchasing to engineering/maintenance to production. The result is a cultural change that creates a sustained commitment to energy efficiency, continual improvement, and documented energy management procedures within the organization.

Comprehensive 5-Day CEM Training Program for Energy Managers Helps Meet ANSI/MSE 2000 Management System for Energy Standard
The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has adopted the Management System for Energy (ANSI/MSE 2000) as a national standard. Developed by the Georgia Tech Enterprise Innovation Institute’s Energy and Environmental Management Center, ANSI/MSE 2000 is the first nationally recognized management system that practically addresses how industries can positively impact the country’s energy resources through their energy usage. It applies to all organizations including manufacturing, commercial, government, and institutional. Companies implementing MSE 2000 must employ professionals who are knowledgeable in energy planning, monitoring, analysis, project development, and implementation. Completion of the Comprehensive 5-Day Training Program for Energy Managers meets this requirement. MSE 2000 targets cost savings, and can substantiate an organization’s commitment to continuous improvement. Proactive energy management based on MSE 2000 principles will improve organizational energy efficiency, enhance sustainability, and help increase operational energy security by reducing energy resource consumption. These improvements create a positive public image for participating organizations. MSE 2000 institutes a team-based, organization-wide approach that includes participants from all areas of the organization involved with energy, from purchasing to engineering/maintenance to production. The result is a cultural change that creates a sustained commitment to energy efficiency, continual improvement, and documented energy management procedures within the organization.
