Dametis Academy: Environmental Performance Training

Published on: 9 November 2022

Dametis Academy: Environmental performance training for all industries

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

However, although invisible, energy is an important source of:

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

This is 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, a building, or a production method will preserve the environment. This involves several facets, according to the AFNOR definition:

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

Environmental performance therefore goes through energy efficiency (the ratio between the amount of energy used and production), and adds criteria of quality and origin of energy, as well as a condition of avoiding overproduction.

Training is an effective solution to raise awareness among the various stakeholders in a company and to meet the economic and environmental challenges of energy performance.

The supply from Russia: are further gas price increases to be expected?

In addition to the global pandemic, the war in Russia is having an impact on gas prices. This could lead to a drop in production in the countries involved in the war, logistical difficulties on supply routes, or simply overconsumption by the countries at war to fuel their armies.

When to train yourself and your employees?

The energy performance of your company will give you a considerable competitive advantage. It is also an opportunity to highlight your committed actions and strengthen your employer brand. We therefore recommend that you do so as soon as possible. Some moments are more opportune:

A stage in the management of change in the company

If you have new installations, new objectives, it is important to optimize them from the start. Dametis experts support you in this step to define new effective processes and ensure a successful launch by training your teams and managers.

Regular training as part of recruitment

Is your company growing, or do you simply need to regularly expand your team? In any case, it is important that your new recruits can quickly bring the expected level of energy performance to your company, in order to constantly maintain your processes, your quality and your performance at a competitive level. Synchronizing energy performance training with recruitment processes will ensure that your entire workforce has the necessary expertise. There is no bad time to train in energy performance, and we observe during training a desire to learn and an increase in motivation at work.

How does an energy efficiency training course with Dametis Academy work?

1. What characterizes Dametis Academy?

Before any training, we discuss with you to identify your needs. Our experts assist you in concretizing your project and defining together the We offer multiple training themes, and we adapt to provide you with specific expertise tailored to your industry and contexts.

2. Experienced Trainers

The trainers at Dametis Academy are experts who have been involved for several years in technical and environmental fields at Dametis. This enables them to address concrete company issues. Beyond the program, we train you in strategies to improve energy performance and overall efficiency.

3. In-person Training

We conduct training directly at your company premises for in-person sessions. The program can be implemented using your equipment, in real-life situations, on the field. This ensures that the principles covered are directly linked to concrete examples and can be easily applied after the training. We provide in-house training for groups starting from 4 learners. Additionally, starting from 2023, we will also offer a schedule of inter-company training sessions, allowing even single learners to participate at their convenience.

4. Short and Specific Training to Meet Your Needs

Our courses are specific and last between 1 and 4 days, focusing on essential principles of energy performance and their application to your company, avoiding abstract generalities. Depending on your requirements, we may suggest combining multiple training blocks to deepen your understanding of energy usage in industry.

Funding Opportunities through Training Plans

All our courses are eligible for funding through training plans. To benefit from this, please contact your OPCO (French acronym for a joint collection and payment organization for vocational training). Dametis Academy is a young institution, and administrative procedures to enable financing through the CPF (Personal Training Account) are still ongoing.

Here are a few examples of training themes in energy efficiency:

1. Industrial Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is crucial for performance and cost savings. This is the ratio between the amount of energy entering your company and the amount used efficiently for production. The less energy you waste, the more energy-efficient your business. You can save energy by optimizing your processes, reviewing your transport needs, or renovating your facilities, for example. Training in energy efficiency will enable you to activate this lever towards energy transition and optimize your profitability.

2. Measurement in the manufacturing industry

Measurement in the manufacturing industry is the first step towards energy performance. Quantifying different energy positions will allow you to determine where energy is wasted and learn from installations that perform best based on their consumption. Therefore, thanks to this training, you will be able to choose relevant data to evaluate your production chain and identify areas where optimization is possible.

3. Performance of Refrigeration Systems

Refrigeration systems do not all have the same energy performance due to their technologies and original designs. Depending on the final utility of a product, factors need to be considered to prevent heat loss. This training will help you understand your refrigeration systems to choose them wisely and quantify their energy performance. You will learn, in particular, to distinguish elements related to refrigerants and refrigeration fluids, their thermodynamic and environmental characteristics, and the reasons guiding the choice of a fluid.
