We strive to be the nation's leading authority and recognized champion on issues related to quality in energy industries and environmental activities.
The People
The membership of the Energy and Environmental Division spans a wide range of energy and environmental involvementfrom national and international policy makers and decision makers to quality professionals in these fields as well as regulators and insurers. Each member makes a special contribution to the division through participation in the various important division and committee activities, exploring quality methods and techniques that will yield improved energy resource selection, utilization, and conservation and ensure effective protection of the global environment. As innovations in energy and environmental protection emerge, so do the innovations in quality for energy and environmental issues. This is the result of direct Energy and Environmental Division member involvement.
The Leadership
The Energy and Environmental Division of ASQ leads the way in focusing on the quality aspects of needs in energy and the environment. The division provides a broad-based forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences in quality principles and practices, as well as a clearer understanding of regulations and requirements that support the demand for quality in energy and environmental areas of interest. The spectrum includes varying energy forms, from fossil fuels to advanced energy technology, and diverse environmental issues, including pollution prevention and control, waste minimization, and hazardous waste management.
The Benefits
The Energy and Environmental Division supports its members through a variety of challenging learning opportunities and activities. These include management, administrative, and technical committees whose work addresses energy and environmental issues and the ensuing current and anticipated quality needs and requirements as well as the developing energy and environmental technologies. Additionally, the division offers a number of conferences and workshops covering a broad range of quality and quality-related energy and environmental issues.
The division produces several publications, as well as an electronic magazine for quality, environmental, health, and safety professional called the QEHSzine. It is produced three times a year and contains articles on energy and environmental quality-related topics and division news; handbooks on the application of quality principles related to energy and environmental systems and regulations; proceedings from the division conferences; tutorials; and workshops on specific quality practices and quality management subjects, such as auditing, inspection, operations, experimental design, and vendor/supplier evaluations. The conferences, publications, and committees continue to provide an ongoing forum for active participation in formulating and sharing improved quality concepts and applications in energy and environmental programs.
The division participates in the development, application, and continuing review of consensus standards in conjunction with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), an accredited standards-setting organization with international recognition; the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME); the International Organization for Standardization (ISO); and others in order to promote quality concepts in the areas supported by those organizations.
