Dametis Academy: training in environmental performance

Dametis Academy: environmental performance training for all areas of industry

Proper use of energy is essential to the prosperity of your business. Energy powers your infrastructure, enables transportation, and facilitates communication and data transmission.

However, although invisible, energy is an important source:

• • of data
  • performance
  • but also emissions harmful to the planet

That’s why Dametis Academy offers training courses to teach you how to measure and control your energy use.

What is environmental performance?

Environmental performance is the way in which an object, building or production method protects the environment. There are several facets to this, as defined by AFNOR:

• • The fight against climate change
  • Preserving biodiversity
  • Promoting responsible consumption.

Environmental performance therefore involvesenergy efficiency (the ratio between the quantity of energy used and production), and adds criteria of energy quality and origin, as well as a requirement to avoid overproduction.

Training is an effective way of raising awareness among the various players in a company, and meeting the economic and environmental challenges of energy performance.

Supplies from Russia: new gas price hikes on the horizon?

In addition to the global pandemic, the war in Russia is having an impact on gas prices. This could be through reduced production in countries taking part in the war, logistical difficulties on supply routes, or simply over-consumption by warring countries to fuel their armies.

When should you train yourself and your employees?

Your company’s energy performance will give you a considerable competitive edge. It’s also an opportunity to highlight your actions and strengthen your employer brand. We therefore recommend that you do it as soon as possible. Some times are better:

A step in corporate change management

If you have new facilities and new objectives, it’s important to optimize them right from the start. Dametis experts can help you define efficient new processes and ensure a successful launch by training your teams and managers.

Regular training as part of recruitment

Is your company growing fast, or do you simply need to expand your team on a regular basis? In either case, it’s important that your new recruits can quickly bring the expected level of energy performance to your company, so as to constantly maintain your processes, quality and output at a competitive level. Synchronizing energy performance training with recruitment processes will ensure that your entire workforce has the necessary know-how.

There’s no bad time to learn about energy performance, and during training courses we observe a desire to learn and increased motivation to work.

How does energy efficiency training work with Dametis Academy?

1. What makes Dametis Academy so special?

Before any training, we discuss your needs with you. Our experts will work with you to define the right training program for your company. We offer a wide range of training topics, and adapt them to provide you with know-how tailored to your business and context.

2. Experienced trainers

Dametis Academy trainers are experts who have been working for Dametis for several years in technical and environmental fields. This enables them to address real-life business issues. Beyond the program itself, we train you in the levers for improving energy performance and performance in general.

3. Face-to-face training

We come directly to your company premises for face-to-face training. In this way, the program can be delivered to you using your own equipment, in the field. In this way, the principles learned are directly associated with concrete examples and can be easily applied after the training. The minimum number of participants is 4.

From 2023, we will also be offering a calendar of inter-company training courses, so that you can train whenever you want, even if you only have one employee to upgrade.

4. Short, specific training courses to meet your needs

Our training courses are specific and last between 1 and 4 days. This enables us to get to the heart of the matter and focus on the principles of energy performance and their application to your business, avoiding abstract generalities. Depending on your needs, we can sometimes combine several blocks of training to deepen your knowledge of energy use in industry.

Training courses financed by the training plan

All our training courses can be financed through the training plan. To benefit from the training plan, contact your OPCO.

Dametis Academy is still in its infancy, and the administrative formalities to qualify for CPF funding are still underway.

Some examples of energy efficiency training topics

1. Industrial energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is an important element of performance and a source of savings. It’s the ratio between the amount of energy entering your business and the amount used efficiently for production. The less energy you lose, the more efficient your business is. You can save energy by optimizing your processes, reviewing your transport requirements or renovating your facilities, for example.

Energy efficiency training will enable you to activate this lever towards the energy transition and optimize your profitability.

2. Industrial measurement

Measurement in industry is the first step towards energy performance. Quantifying the various energy items will enable you to determine where energy is being wasted, and to learn which installations perform best in relation to their consumption. Thanks to this training, you will be able to select the relevant data to evaluate your production chain and detect areas where optimization is possible.

3. Refrigeration plant performance

Not all refrigeration systems have the same energy performance, depending on their original technology and design. Depending on the end use of a product, certain factors need to be taken into account to avoid heat loss. This training course will help you understand your refrigeration systems, so you can choose them wisely and quantify their energy performance. In particular, you’ll learn to distinguish between refrigerants and carrier fluids, thermodynamic and environmental characteristics, and the reasons for choosing a fluid.
