An energy auditor evaluates and analyzes how energy is being used in a commercial or institutional facility, identifies energy conservation opportunities, and makes recommendations on where consumption can be reduced or optimized. There are three main types of energy audits: Level 1 audits (walkthrough surveys that allow you to rapidly identify opportunities for energy savings); Level 2 […]
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 […]
