Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's "Guide for Determining Energy Savings from Changes in Operations, Behavior, and Maintenance Procedures" provides savings estimation methodologies for non-capital energy performance improvement actions. This guide has been developed for facilities participating in SEM programs and using a whole-facility approach to measurement and verification. (May 2017)

Webinars

Energy Management Webinars

	Make the Case for Large-Scale Energy Reduction Projects with ISO 50001, January 2023 Watch to hear Better Buildings partners discuss how pursuing ISO certification helped to develop an organization-wide approach to energy data collection and efficiency improvements across multiple facilities.
	SEP 50001 Program Update and Overview, June 2019 The Superior Energy Performance 50001 (SEP 50001) certification & recognition program was updated in 2019. This webinar describes the program updates in more detail. A recording, transcription, and presentation slides are available.
	CDP: The ISO 50001 Energy Management System, October 2018 View this webinar for an introduction to this standard and how it can help you achieve your energy goals in your facilities and supply chain. Guest speakers include Paul Scheihing of US DOE and Steve Schultz, Corporate Energy Manager at 3M.

Measurement & Verification Webinars

AMO hosts a series of webinars to offer solutions for measurement and verification (M&V) challenges:

	Detroit Diesel, July 14, 2016 Daimler’s Detroit Diesel Corporation facility used the SEP M&V process to quantify energy and cost savings and demonstrate a strong return on investment. This webinar demonstrated how Detroit Diesel used a rigorous energy management system to meet the ISO 50001 standard and save an impressive $37 million over 10 years.
	Cummins, November 19, 2015 At its facility in Rocky Mount, NC, Cummins both manufactures and tests its engines before shipment. This webinar demonstrated how implementing SEP helped the energy team develop a more robust measurement approach of their energy performance, including how to properly measure energy consumption of both the manufacturing and engine testing processes.
	HARBEC, September 9, 2015 HARBEC, a small company, has aggressively pursued alternative energy sources including renewable energy and combined heat and power. This webinar demonstrated how the SEP M&V Protocol was able to effectively model this diverse energy supply and to demonstrate a meaningful measure of energy performance improvement.
	MedImmune, June 24, 2015 While implementing SEP, Medimmune made a major expansion of a new building, thus changing energy consumption on site. This webinar describes how Medimmune adjusted for the new building’s impact on overall facility energy performance as they achieved SEP certification.
