The US EPA’s ENERGY STAR program is offering free specialized energy management training and support for ready mixed concrete producers and their manufacturing suppliers that are seeking to save money, reduce the carbon footprint of their operations and impact the embodied carbon of their products. Training sessions are provided by industrial energy managers through nine monthly, two-hour webinars. Manufacturers are encouraged to nominate their plant personnel for participation in ENERGY STAR’s Industrial Assistance Networks where they will learn to control energy consumption, receive coaching from professional industrial energy managers, and access to tools and other support.
