Professional Development Training Programs

This popular two-day program is designed to update current global Certified Energy Managers (CEM) on the most current energy-related trends, strategies, best practices, technologies, and regulations. If you are an existing CEM (Worldwide) who needs a refresher or a lapsed CEM who needs AEE credits to get re-certified, this course is a great place to start. This on-demand option allows the participant to review the videos and workbook on their own time and from anywhere they have an internet connection.

Type: Non-certification Program

The program is of great value to those interacting with or managing electrical engineers or assessing electrical engineering projects. As a non-electrical engineer, you’ll gain a clear understanding of electrical engineering in a simple, easy to understand format so that you have a working knowledge of the essentials for greatest relevance and practical value.

Type: Non-certification Program

Energy Monitoring Systems (EMS), Building Management Systems (BMS) and Automated HVAC Systems are essential pillars of energy management and energy intensity control in most large industrial, commercial and institutional facilities.

This course covers a unique combination of electrical power and controls topics applicable to these facilities. It details how instruments, gages, sensors, SCADA Systems, PLC’s, and DCS Systems are used to not only measure energy but control and conserve it.

Type: Non-certification Program

Ideal for energy auditors, energy managers and end users. Learn auditing pitfalls, the audit process, audit reporting, and an overview of ASHRAE Energy Audit – Standard 211.

This program will help improve an energy auditor’s methods, and also educate and inform end-users of what they should expect of an audit in terms of activities and deliverables. It helps identify auditing pitfalls and ensures an audit is a holistic action plan for building management, rather than just paperwork or academic exercise, or sales tool to recommend a specific product upgrade or project expenditure.

Type: Non-certification Program

Do you feel that the financial justification of energy conservation projects is an “uphill battle” in your organization? In this program, you will learn proven approaches – both technical and financial – for successful energy project funding and implementation.
The program provides a three faceted outlook of the best practices and strategies for focusing on (1) energy productivity improvement, (2) energy cost minimization, and (3) energy supply in an industrial or commercial setting. The instructor – with over 30 years of industry experience, focuses on the more common forms of energy, such as electrical, compressed air, natural gas, steam, and heat. He covers the various ways of reducing energy costs through well planned, specific, and results-oriented projects. He shows how to achieve substantial energy cost reduction with little or no capital investment and how to pursue projects in collaboration with local utility companies.
This is a non-certification course.

Type: Non-certification Program

In this program, participants learn about finance, accounting, corporate reporting requirements, and engineering economics. Participants will learn about fundamental bookkeeping, accounting methods, and learn about common organizational structures and the roles of Financial Analysts, Accountants, Controllers, and CFO’s.

Type: Non-certification Program

This web-based workshop is designed to teach facility engineers, operators, and maintenance staff how they can achieve 15-25 percent cost savings through proper operation and controls, system maintenance, and appropriate uses of compressed air. It adheres to the CAC principles of product-neutrality and a focus on the systems approach to managing compressed air.

Participants completing the course will receive the renowned, Best Practices of Compressed Air Systems manual.

Type: Non-certification Program

Businesses and governments make important financial decisions based on financial benefits to their organizations. This course provides the energy professional with knowledge and practical tools to identify cost-effective energy conservation measures (ECMs), energy conservation opportunities (ECOs), and demand-side management (DSM) measures. The course goes beyond simple payback analysis of energy conservation measures. It helps the energy professional understand and be able to calculate important energy investment parameters such as net present value, rate of return, and return on investment. The course helps participants understand why an energy conservation measure, which may have a seemingly “long” payback period (e.g., 3-4 years), is an excellent energy conservation investment, often returning dollar savings more than two or three times the initial investment.

Type: Non-certification Program

Many industry experts consider microgrids to embody the future of electrical energy delivery systems. When configured correctly, they offer sustainable solutions to meet energy resiliency needs. This training program will provide an in-depth overview of microgrid applications, technologies, and configuration, as well as examples and virtual tours of operational microgrids, and detailed background information into the state of microgrid development.

Type: Non-certification Program

Learn the best practices in energy project management that have been learned, vetted, and proven from over 30 years of management experience in diverse industrial and commercial settings.

Type: Non-certification Program
