DuPont Awarded for Energy Conservation
DuPont Awarded for Energy Conservation
Wilmington, Del. (PRWEB) May 06, 2012
DuPont was recently honored by the American Chemistry Council for its work to reduce plant energy consumption and minimize energy-related environmental impacts. With over 100 manufacturing sites with annual energy targets, DuPont employees are committed to seek energy efficiency and renewable energy projects that deliver business and environmental benefits.
The American Chemistry Council’s Responsible Care® Energy Efficiency Awards are given annually to recognize chemical manufacturing facilities across the country that demonstrate outstanding results in saving energy and reducing related greenhouse gas emissions.
DuPont was recognized in three award categories for specific projects that reduce energy demand, improve operating efficiency and improve the environmental impact of U.S. manufacturing facilities.
The DuPont Chemicals & Fluoroproducts Business earned the Energy Efficiency – Corporate Business Unit honor for reducing energy consumption by 15 percent through a three-year effort that involved the implementation of more than 190 energy reduction projects at 21 U.S. plant sites.
The Memphis, Tenn. Site earned the Significant Improvement in Manufacturing – Plant Site honor for implementing a project that allows the use of a manufacturing byproduct gas stream for an alternative fuel in place of natural gas by a neighboring manufacturing site. The project complies with all applicable environmental regulations and site permits. Previously, the byproduct gas stream had been burned in a flare, so the project not only improves energy efficiency, but also reduces the environmental impact of the industrial park.
The Fayetteville, N.C. Site earned the Public Outreach – Plant Site honor for a project to convert the site’s boiler from fuel oil to natural gas. This project resulted in net reduction of 25.8 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions and 811 pounds of sulfur dioxide emissions each year. The project was the result of a collaboration between the Fayetteville site and North Carolina state and local officials to install a 10-mile natural gas pipeline to supply manufacturing operations in the area.
“As part of our sustainability goals, DuPont is committed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent from the base year 2004, and reduce our use of non-renewable fuels by 10 percent per dollar of price-adjusted revenue from the base year 2010,” said Dawn Rittenhouse, director of sustainable development for DuPont. “The projects awarded by the American Chemistry Council, and many others underway in our company, are helping us meet our commitments. We are proud to be honored by the American Chemistry Council.”
DuPont – one of the first companies to publicly establish environmental goals more than 20 years ago – has broadened its sustainability commitments beyond internal footprint reduction to include market-driven targets for both revenue and research and development investment. The goals are tied directly to business growth, specifically to the development of safer and environmentally improved new products for key global markets.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, non-governmental organizations, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

School Superintendents of hearing of experts on strategies to keep improving teaching at the National Center for Education Research and Technology Conference
School Superintendents of hearing of experts on strategies to keep improving teaching at the National Center for Education Research and Technology Conference
Long Beach, CA (PRWEB) May 3, 2012
School district superintendents Assistant National Center for Education Research & Technology (NCERT) announced today that the conference will hear researcher Dr. Brad Ermeling say how routines and conditions, continuous improvement in districts and how the points of evidence to the promotion of “positive effects of cooperation between teachers in a school can have on student achievement . “
Ermeling
, a senior research associate at Pearson School Completion Services Group, wrote an article for the soon-to-be-published spring issue of the Journal of Staff Development to which significant learning gains when school educators dedicated time aside to identify and place to get work, leading to improved teaching and learning.
“The research that the power of learning teams is just something to do – the structure and connection of meetings -. thoughtfully and systematically make a real meetings between educators need more than a series of ads and offline discussions of order. to influence student learning, they have lasting institutions for change focuses on the study of education in relation to specific objectives, “said Dr. Ermeling.
Ermeling article shows that one of the key ingredients to meet district and school needs over time, a “System Settings” in which all levels of educators supported the establishment – the share of teachers at the primary for district leaders. At each level, teams must focus on the tangible benefits around a specific area of ??need. For example, a modulation of the first year of language to help the team arts students write several sentences to stories, while a group of district leaders to focus on assisting clients to prepare and thoughtful comments and informative to communicate with their teammates.
The system supports collaborative efforts in a neighborhood with a sustainable process for monitoring progress and foster continuous improvement to create. This model, implemented by teams of unique learning Pearson, is currently at work in over 100 schools across the country, benefiting more than 3,000 teachers. To further assist schools to achieve positive results, learning teams included in the services of Pearson for school improvement and full implementation of common standards for core state.
teams learning model is based on research. In a study of the model, published in refereed the American Educational Research Journal, researchers found that the implementation of Title I schools using this structured teams of teachers 41 percent overall and 54 percent went for Spanish students compared to a comparable group of schools that do not implement this framework.
A second study in the journal elementary school, describes five key elements necessary to create teacher teams productive learning, including: trained peer educators who work to help their colleagues in the perseverance of time before any progress on key indicators of student performance, stable institutions dedicated to improving teaching and learning, proven protocols that guide (but not require) the activities of teachers of the team improving employment and similar teams of three to seven professors who teach the same quality level course or subject.
