Welcome to the April 2008 Energy Management e-newsletter. Energy efficiency challenges exist in every type of business, and getting all of that information in a timely and efficient manner isn’t easy. Energy Management and its partner, the Excellence in Manufacturing Consortium, aim to help you with that very challenge with the launch of ENEX08, September 23-24, 2008. Energy Excellence 2008 is a two-day conference focused on providing attendees with the critical information they need to manage their energy use. As fuel costs rise, energy management has become the central issue for manufacturers and building managers who wish to compete and thrive. Those who understand the landscape best will be best prepared to adapt to its changes. We are bringing experts from industry and government together to share energy management best practices, explain where to find the financial support to make critical energy management investments, and what new technologies are being developed that will help them thrive in the future. Look for more information in the next issue of Energy Management and online at www.energymanagementcanada.com. I welcome your feedback on anything else you see in the newsletter or on the website, so don’t hesitate to contact me at rcolman@clbmedia.ca. Robert Colman |
