Developing Effective Energy Performance IndicatorsPECB
The primary goal of businesses is to balance profit-making objectives with the interests of parties affected by it. The amount of profit that businesses can generate depends on how well they control their costs. There are many costs with which businesses deal with, but energy costs remain among the most significant for many of them. The industrial sector is one of the largest energy consumers. Companies are constantly seeking innovative ways on how to spend the energy more efficiently. The standard that is widely being used to reduce energy costs is ISO 50001 or the Energy Management System (EnMS). ISO 50001 was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) with the aims at improving organization’s energy performance.
This review provides a high-level financial and operating comparisons that will help company management identify potential opportunities for improvement.

ISO 50001 is designed to help companies enhance their use of energy-consuming assets, evaluate and prioritize the implementation of energy-efficient technology, and promote efficiency throughout the supply chain.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

10. Qualified Workforce
SEPTM is helping to build a workforce qualified to apply ISO 50001 effectively and to verify its
conformance and resulting energy performance improvement
Certified Practitioners in Energy
Management Systems (CP EnMS):
Help facilities implement ISO 50001 and
prepare for SEPTM certification (74
certified as of Oct 2013)
ISO 50001 Auditor
Perform third-party conformance audits
to ISO 50001
Certified Practitioner in Systems: Four
planned- perform compressed air,
process heating, pumping, or steam
system assessments using ASME
system assessment standards
Institute for Energy Management
Professionals (IEnMP)

SEP Lead Auditors and SEP
Performance Verifiers:
Perform third-party audits to verify that a
facility meets SEPTM requirements (10 Lead
Auditors and 16 Performance Verifiers as of
Oct 2013)

11. Better Buildings,
Better Plants Program
Voluntary pledge program between U.S. manufacturing
companies and the U.S. DOE to improve energy intensity of
manufacturing operations by 25% over 10 years
Partners establish energy performance baselines based on U.S.
DOE guidance and consistent with ISO 50001
In return for pledging, U.S. DOE offers:
Technical assistance towards tracking progress towards pledge
achievement
National recognition for Partners with additional recognition for pledge
achievers
123 Partners have taken the pledge
Represents 8% of the total U.S. manufacturing energy footprint

13. Better Plants Challenge
Buildings Initiative (BBI)
BBI seeks to reduce energy intensity in the commercial and
industrial sectors by 20% in 2020
Challenge Partners pledge to reduce energy intensity by 25% in
10 years with additional level of transparency including:
Sharing energy performance data
Conduct showcase projects that demonstrate near term energy savings
13 U.S. manufacturers have taken the Challenge

14. Energy Performance Indicator Tool v3.0
Developed by U.S. DOE to assist plant and corporate managers:
Establish an energy consumption baseline
Develop a regression model to predict energy consumption
based on variables such as production and weather
Track annual energy intensity improvements against the baseline
Calculate energy savings against the baseline
Calculate performance indicators for SEPTM and Better Plants

15. Next Steps for SEPTM and Better Plants
SEPTM Enterprise Accelerator
Directed to Better Plants partners that want to implement SEPTM,
including ISO 50001, across multiple facilities creating
opportunities for economies of scale in deploying SEPTM
SEPTM Ratepayer-Funded Program Accelerator
U.S. DOE will be working with several utilities and energy
efficiency program administrators to develop an implementation
model for SEPTM that meets regulatory requirements for offering
incentives to their industrial customers.
16. Global Superior Energy Performance (GSEP) Partnership
GSEP Energy Management Working Group (EMWG) goal:
Implementation of an EnMS and ISO 50001 becomes common practice as part of
continual improvement of energy performance in industrial and commercial
facilities and companies.
EMWG Strategic Objectives:
1. Energy Management: Increase the implementation of energy
management in the industrial and buildings sectors in order to improve
energy efficiency and energy performance on an ongoing basis
2. Measurement and Verification (M&V): Measure and verify energy
performance improvements on a consistent basis
3. Qualified Workforce: Build a qualified workforce of professionals with
expertise in the fields of energy management, energy efficiency, and
measurement and verification

The Clean Energy Ministerial
(CEM) is a high-level global forum
to promote policies and programs
that advance clean energy
technology, to share lessons
learned and best practices, and to
encourage the transition to a global
clean energy economy.
The GSEP EMWG is one of six
working groups created through
the CEM.
