BestPractices User Paths

The BestPractices web site content is organized into four different user paths and three general paths. Each of the user paths contains information, links, publications, and references that a person fitting the description of the path would find most useful.

Answering the following questions will help you determine the most appropriate path to the information that meets your needs.

  1. Are you an end user?
    An end-user is defined as an individual who works for a company that will implement the energy-saving ideas found on this site.

  2. If you are an end user, what is your role in the company?

    Corporate executive – a primary decision maker in the company who wants to learn more about what other companies in your industry are doing to save energy.

    Plant manager – in charge of implementing cost- and energy-saving measures in your plant, who will need to assess staff training needs and monitor and track progress.

    Technical staff – an engineer or plant technician who works with equipment, devices and software that enable your company to save energy, or who is looking for documents and training to learn more about the technical aspects of energy efficiency?

  3. If you are not an end user, you work:

    As a consultant

    For a technology provider/supplier

    For a State or local governrment 

    For an association or NGO
