Program overview

Building on the skills developed in the first two workshops, this final ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® 301 webinar explores advanced features that allow participants to go further with the tool. Participants learn how to generate more complex reports and templates, as well as how to begin setting baselines and checklists to support long‑term building performance tracking.

The workshop also introduces the Sustainable Buildings Checklist, a built‑in feature of ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® that helps asset managers establish consistent strategies for operating and maintaining buildings sustainably. The checklist is structured around five key focus areas: integrated assessment and operations, optimized energy performance, water conservation, enhanced indoor environmental quality, and reduced environmental impacts.

What is ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®

ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® is a management tool designed to measure and assess the energy performance of commercial and institutional buildings. Following widespread use in the United States, Natural Resources Canada adapted Portfolio Manager for use in Canada, where more than 26,000 buildings have been entered into the tool.

Over the years, Portfolio Manager has grown in popularity and usage because it allows users to understand energy consumption and associated costs (energy, water, and other resources), compare their buildings to similar properties, establish benchmarks, set realistic targets, and track the impact of reduction strategies through customized reports.

What you will learn

  • Update data using the spreadsheet upload feature.
  • Set baselines, goals, and targets to plan energy improvements.
  • Create custom reporting templates.
  • Use the Data Request Template functionality.

This course is ideal for

  • Building owners and operators
  • Public-sector or institutional program managers
  • Building managers/supervisors
  • Asset and building portfolio managers
  • Industrial and water plant operators

In our experience, CIET courses deliver a great foundation for all energy professionals—at any stage of their career or experience level. We were very satisfied with the facilitation and received positive feedback from QuadReal participants. It is a pleasure to work with CIET.

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.

Anyssa Rambali, Process Engineer - Durez Canada Company Ltd

The online CEM course was very professionally put together. The team instructors were really knowledgeable and engaging, and the exam was administered and very easy to take through proctorU.

Tony Lam, Energy Manager - Government of Yukon

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.
