At the same time, billions of dollars in federal, state, and utility funding are available to support energy and infrastructure upgrades. These opportunities are most effectively captured when tied to the implementation or expansion of a comprehensive Energy Management Program. By engaging a diverse group of internal stakeholders and external subject matter experts, organizations can ensure projects are designed to maximize funding potential, align with operational priorities, and account for impacts on utility budgets and energy supply agreements. This session will provide a practical roadmap for leveraging grants and incentives to replace outdated systems, reduce operating costs, and strengthen resilience while building a strong business case that increases the likelihood of project approval.</p><ul><li>Recognize the value of an Energy Management Program as the foundation for capturing grants and incentives.</li><li>Learn how to engage a diverse group of stakeholders from facilities and finance to external partners and subject matter experts which will strengthen project planning.</li><li>Understand how funding opportunities intersect with utility budgets and energy supply agreements, and how to proactively manage those impacts.</li><li>Explore practical strategies to align projects with organizational goals, maximize return on investment, and build a stronger business case for approval.</li></ul><p>Please Note: This is a sponsored webinar and is not eligible for CEUs.</p><p>DISCLAIMER: The views expressed by presenters in this program should not be construed as directly representing the views of the American Society for Health Care Engineering (ASHE).
