*This training is restricted to TVA Contractors and Staff*
This session is part of a multi-session training program which will teach participants how to implement the 25 tasks of the 50001 Ready Navigator. These tasks help EnMS leaders engage top management, build out an energy management team, consider legislative mandates and requirements for their energy performance, and beyond. They form a foundation for success in pursuing continuous energy performance improvement.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
-
Ensure the competence of personnel whose work affects your energy performance and energy management system. Evaluate the effectiveness of actions taken to acquire competencies. Retain appropriate records of competencies and training (Task 14);
-
Raise awareness among personnel and on-site contractors of your energy policy and their energy-related roles and responsibilities. Establish processes in place for internal and any applicable external energy management system communications (Task 15);
-
Document information we determined is needed to ensure energy management system effectiveness and demonstrate energy performance improvement, as well as that suggested by the guidance of the 50001 Ready Navigator. Establish processes in place for creating, updating, and controlling our documented information (Task 16);
-
Plan and control the processes related to your significant energy uses (SEUs) and action plans, and set operation and maintenance criteria where there are risks of significant deviations in energy performance. Operate the SEU and action-plan related processes in accordance with the criteria and communicate the criteria to relevant personnel. Control planned changes, along with outsourced processes related to SEUs (Task 17); and
-
Consider energy performance improvement opportunities and operational controls when designing new, modified, or renovated sites, equipment, systems, and processes (Task 18).
