Overview
The Energy Efficiency for Building Operators and Maintenance Staff (EEBO) course is designed to engage, motivate, and empower building operators and managers through hands-on and highly interactive training.
In this two-day course, instructors help participants understand how energy behaves, how it is used in facilities, and how to control it through operational actions across various building systems. Physical demonstrations, calculations, worksheets, role plays, and case studies are used to demonstrate existing energy savings opportunities in lighting, pumps, fans, building envelope components, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, building automation systems, and more.
Building operators as well as related maintenance and facility staff know their building better than anyone. Therefore, they are uniquely positioned to discover and act on energy savings opportunities that will reduce building maintenance costs and overall operating costs.
This course includes a unique feature called an Energy Hunt that takes participants out of the classroom and into the daily operations of a building to examine them closely. The knowledge gained from this exercise is then applied in the classroom where participants learn how to calculate energy savings based on the opportunities identified during the Energy Hunt.
Are you interested in conducting an Energy Hunt using your building and consumption data? Talk to us about a private EEBO session for your staff.

Thanks to the Becoming Carbon Neutral course, I gained a better understanding of how the industry's approach to carbon neutrality is taking significant strides towards standardization, definitions, and requirements. Unfortunately, some requirements are challenging for a small northern jurisdiction like Yukon. But knowing the industry standards was tremendously helpful for figuring out where we are and where we need to be. I was able to identify areas where we already do well, pinpoint gaps, and allocate resources accordingly. The course helped me understand the overall trajectory that our organization should follow to achieve carbon neutrality.
We very much appreciate the efforts you have invested in virtual learning and encourage you to maintain this format. This cuts costs and optimizes time for everyone.
The Foundation Level Exam Prep Course was very insightful, well structured and delivered, and the compilation of resources was extremely helpful. This was an exceptional training experience. Money well spent. I am glad I chose CIET for preparing the NRCan Foundation Level Exam..
My background in energy efficiency was primarily at the industrial process level, so I chose to train with CIET to expand my knowledge on building energy systems. I completed the Advanced Course on Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) as well as the two courses on Building Automation Systems. The new concepts I learned, enhanced by the knowledge of the trainers and the other participants, quickly helped me identify opportunities relating to energy, comfort, and maintenance, most often "low cost" ones.
The Becoming Carbon Neutral course helped frame the opportunities and challenges our customers and our own organization are going to face in becoming carbon neutral. It has served as a foundation, enabling our teams to better support our customers as they move through the process and be part of the solution.
