Manufacturing plant and energy efficiency managers receive hands-on training and the opportunity to network with others who share similar sustainability goals during DOE’s Better Plant program’s Energy Bootcamps coordinated by ORNL.

ORNL’s Thomas Wenning, industrial energy efficiency lead for DOE’s Better Plants program, explains during a recent Energy Bootcamp how making small changes in heating and cooling processes can have a big impact on cost.
