Designed for those who have completed the Introduction to RETScreen® course or have some previous experience with the software, the Certified RETScreen® Expert (CRE) program is designed to help participants develop their skills in the analysis of all types of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies. Further, participants will develop a sound understanding of the new analysis functions provided […]
At its core, a well-run building automation system (BAS) reduces energy consumption and allows for more efficient building system operations. This should, in turn, allow building management to increase the comfort of tenants while reducing their operating costs. During the one-day Building Automation Systems Essentials course, we examine systems basics and energy conservation strategies that […]
For a limited time, CIET is offering its suite of Residential Energy Advisor (REA) courses at significant discounts thanks to a contribution agreement with Natural Resources Canada (NRCan). CIET can provide discounts of 60% or more to all participants. Since NRCan wishes to increase the number of energy advisors available to support the Canada Greener […]
As a process, existing building commissioning (EBCx) is often referred to as taking what you already have and making it better! Interest in existing building commissioning projects has been growing steadily over the years, and it is now recognized as a formidable means to determine which low-cost/no-cost operational improvements may be made to a currently […]
BSCI 9250 - Advanced Energy Simulation elective course is presented as lectures and assignments, with a term project to be conducted in parallel with lectures. It will benefit students who want to gain more in-depth knowledge of building energy performance simulation as well as the skills to use sophisticated simulation tools. Meanwhile, through the study, […]
