Course Introduction

This program is designed to provide the specific training needed by professionals in the energy sector.
Participants will gain the fundamental knowledge needed to evaluate how energy is being used in a facility,
and to identify where consumption can be reduced, covering useful calculation methods and practical
examples.

The instructor will emphasize effective auditing basics while putting them in the context of the “big picture”
and the bottom line. The program is also designed to provide you with the opportunity to take part in a
focused, fast-paced instructional program, designed to expand your knowledge in the field

Overview and Objectives

The Objective is to raise the professional standards of those engaged in energy auditing. To improve the
practice of energy auditors by encouraging energy auditing in a continuing education program of professional
