Topic: Customer Energy Efficiency Culture: Why it is Important
Speaker: Jason Garner PE, North American Operations Manager—Crowley Carbon
Jason Garner, PE is a Mechanical Engineer and North American Operations Manager, and Global Subject Matter Expert on Boilers and
Cogeneration, for Cool Planet Clarity and Founder, President, and Principal Engineer of Clear Process Engineering. He is responsible for
day-to-day operations and engineering services for all energy efficiency engagements in North America; which include the following:
compressed air system optimization and improvements, lighting improvements, steam distribution system improvements, cogeneration
installations, boiler optimizations and improvements, and even core process optimizations and improvements.
Many of the most meaningful energy efficiency projects will require revised ways of operating equipment in a facility. Without the
proper buy-in from all stakeholders, the energy efficiency initiatives will evaporate after the energy engineers leave the site, and then
the projects are deemed to be failures. This presentation will provide overviews of positive and negative examples and high level
reasons these are classified as such. It will conclude with a win-win accountability tool to drive the culture required for year-over-year
energy savings.
