Program overview

An often overlooked and important parameter of successful energy efficiency and decarbonization projects is the humans involved. Specifically, the actions of people can lead to the success or failure of a project.

This two day training program is intended for participants who want to create an engagement strategy incorporating the various aspects of behavioral and holistic organizational management. In this training, you will put together a plan to change behaviours while engaging people – either internally (staff, operations, teams) or externally (tenants, clients, occupants).

The first training day is focused on the practice of influencing and modifying individual and collective behaviours to promote more sustainable practices. It begins with an outline of why and how individual actions and choices play a significant role in influencing energy consumption and environmental impact. On the second day, participants put their understanding of these concepts to the test and create their own engagement campaigns.

If you are involved in designing, creating or implementing an engagement plan, this course is for you!

What you will learn

  • Establish realistic goals for energy engagement strategies.
  • Assess the organizational proficiencies as they relate to achieving real energy reduction.
  • Examine the culture of organizations and design interventions in harmony with the given culture.
  • Use a structured approach to identifying and selecting behaviours to influence based on impacts, barriers and benefits.
  • Identify and articulate energy and non-energy benefits from effective engagement.
  • Apply the systematic six step approach to designing engagement strategies.
  • Evaluate energy engagement strategies.

Hear it from our graduates

Thivya Viswanathan, Energy Analyst - Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association

A couple of months back, I was an unemployed immigrant new graduate looking for learning opportunities to enhance my skills when one of my friends shared with me about the discounted price for the Energy Management Professional 101 (EMP) course during this pandemic. I am really happy about what CIET is doing now. You guys are impacting so many young professionals like me.

Jeff Quint, Manager, Customer Solutions & Communications - Enova Power

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.

Marcel Soucy, Supervisor Groupe Énergie - ENGIE Services Inc.

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.

Aaron Wouters, Energy Manager – Trillium Health Partners

CIET provides the BEST example of how program certification information should be provided. Its personal, with dates relevant to me and my timelines, and also communicates future events.

Sean Martin, Home Inspector

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.

Pierre-Francis Parent, Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Consultant - Planéco Énergie

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.
