Industrial Interactions Inc. specializes in training and support services for industrial, utility and government clients. Our mission is:
To provide high quality training and education for plant operators, power engineers, and managers through on-site training, open enrollment classes, CD's, and other software tools. In addition, to provide support services to industrial facilities and institutions of all sizes to help them become safe, secure, and energy efficient so as to contain costs.
Our walk-through energy audits of facilities unveil energy saving opportunities to reduce electrical energy consumption. Skills and knowledge acquired by attending our classes enable plant operators, building maintenance engineers, and energy managers in plants, schools, and hospitals to safely and efficiently operate all brands of boilers, chiller systems and auxiliary equipment to promote energy efficiency and contain cost.
We believe that providing outstanding instructors and office support staff for our students is not enough. Our philosophy is that we should also "interact" with other companies, groups, and educational facilities within our industry. In this way, we can offer far more benefits to our students than we could offer alone. Actually, that is how we got our name "Industrial Interactions Inc."
In 1998, we worked with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Industrial Technologies, on their Steam Challenge Program and with the Alliance to Save Energy presenting their "Steam Efficiency Seminars." We also work with SESCO Inc. and Trupower Inc. and we look forward to partnering with a variety of industry companies, and groups in order to provide the very best learning opportunities for our students.
Industrial Interactions is headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia but offers training throughout the nation. Industrial is a member of:
