Daryl DeJean taught the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) the Benchmarking 101 seminar. Eighteen well seasoned Facilities Directors and Managers attended and succeeded in benchmarking immediately approximately seven school districts.
The course material was created by Lee Stevens, Kingport Corporation.
Thank you San Diego Gas & Electric for helping our schools benchmark their buildings with a simple approach to energy management!
On October 26, 2010, Daryl DeJean taught another ENERGY STAR seminar under San Diego Gas & Electric's highly popular ENERGY STAR series seminars.
Armed with his vast experience of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting, plug load and control systems as a Director of Facilities for HILTI's two hundred facilites nationwide, Daryl engaged all fourty-nine attendees in not only benchmarking their buildings but adopting a well designed energy management program and strategy that has been time tested by many Fortune 500 companies and large organizations (cities, non profits, healthcare etc). See HILTI Officer's testimonial about Daryl's work at HILTI on our Testimonial page.
The agenda of the seminar was as follows:
Thank you San Diego Gas & Electric for your tremendous support of the ENERGY STAR program and for leading the way with many seminars on this topic.
Daryl DeJean taught the highly sought after practitioner's view of energy management and planning tools that have resulted in tremendous financial gains for many of ENERGY STAR founding partners such as Staples, 3M , CBRE and Kohl's. The course material was created by Lee Stevens, Kingport Corporation based on five years work under the ENERGY STAR Program.
The graphing capabilities of the easy to use benchmarking tool Portfolio Manager allowed attendees to see the benefits of management reporting. The visual simplicity of the graphs was a total surprise to the attendees who were not aware of the capabilities of the tool. The agenda was as follows and no one fell asleep!
The Building Ugrade Value Calculator and the Cash Flow Opportunity Calculators were demonstrated live. Several attendees said they had seen the calculators before in other seminars but never understood how they worked until this seminar. Thank you attendees for your feedback. We strive to simplify all of the program for you.

LED Applications and Resources Seminar July 21, 2010 San Diego sponsored by San Diego Gas & Electric
As a follow-up to the LED Basics seminar, this seminar introduced cost-effective LED applications. During this seminar the audience learned about the US DOE initiatives to help them determine if LEDs are appropriate for their lighting projects. An overview of the various DOE quality assurance initiatives was provided to attendees to differentiate good products from other market offerings and applications. In depth review of the US DOE SSL website allowed the audience to develop a solid frame of refernce for evaluating the new technology and compare performance of different versions of the same product.
The seminar covered how to apply important technical information to the particular application whether it is downlight or exterior lighting.

ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry Energy Performance Indicator Benchmarking Tool
July 20, 2010 Connecticut
This seminar is specifically developed for the Connecticut Energy Efficiency Fund’s Business Sustainability Challenge participants. The seminar will provide an overview of “why” benchmarking is critical to success in manufacturing. After a brief overview of the “why”, a detailed step-by-step roadmap on the “how” to utilize this important tool will be provided. Attendees will learn the key information required to utilize the tool and how to establish a common metric to allow for comparison of each facility in their portfolio.
Even if you have created your own benchmarking tool, this seminar will provide invaluable insight into the “why” and “how” of benchmarking, including:
Approximately twenty-four attendees from twelve businesses participated. Twenty attendees from ten companies were able to identify the key metrics that best suited their businesses and succeeded in benchmarking their industrial facilities during the seminar.
Fifteen to twenty five attendees benchmarked over 60 building during four hands on seminars given by Daryl DeJean and Lee Stevens on July 27 and August 31. The attendees were introduced to the basic steps in benchmarking a building, the use of San Diego Gas & Electric's Automated Benchmarking Services and the ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager tool..
Courtesy of San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E), the attendees were able to upload their data into the ENERGY STAR's Portfolio Manager tool immediately and see their energy performance during the seminar. On August 31, attendees benchmarked over 2 million sqft of buildings including university, laboratory, school, museum, retail and hotel space types. All seminars on Benchmarking 101 were taught by Lee Stevens with Daryl DeJean assisting with attendees to immediate achive benchmarking project completions during the seminars.
The seminars are taught within a computer lab at the National University Spectrum Center campus. Come and join us to learn easy steps to quickly benchmark your facility!
On September 28, 2010, we taught two Benchmarking 101 seminars to apporximately 20 attendees. All attendees learned to use Portfolio Manager, how to navigate the ENERGY STAR website and most importantly, 100% of the attendees who brought their meter information were able to set up their Facility in Portfolio Manager and benchmark their buildings with San Diego Gas & Electric/ ENERGY STAR Automated Benchmarking Services successfully. Attendees indicated that they have and planned to benchmark at least 81 buildings accounting for over 3 million square feet .
The October 7 ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager Energy Performance Tools was huge success as Daryl DeJean took the ENERGY STAR tools once attendees have their baseline in "energy performance". Thirty attendees immediately benchmarked two buildings totalling 18,000 sqft. In a survey taken at the end of the seminar, the attendees said they plan on benchmarking eighty buildings totalling 2,982,000 sqft within 6 months. Based on the number of e-mails and calls received by ETA to date, all attendees have met or exceeded the stated goals. Robert Guthrie CEM, Plant Manager for Sharp Grossmont did a phenomenal job of sharing his expereince with the ENERGY STAR program and the graphing tools that he has used.
The October 26 ENERGY STAR Best Practices Seminar had fourty nine attendees and was taught by Daryl DeJean. Daryl took the attendees through the "staged approach" that starts with internal no cost or low cost measures. Many attendees indicated in a written survey that they plan to benchmark thirty buildings totaling 3,500,000 sqft in the next six months.
These seminars were held at at the Center for Sustainable Energy California in San Diego by ETA on behalf of SDG&E .
