Based on participant and industry feedback, the Canadian Institute for Energy Training (CIET) is excited to announce the creation of four new courses to its roster of Energy Efficiency training programs.
Whether you are looking to add skills to your toolbox, find ways for your organisation to save on energy costs, or better calibrate the building systems you work with, each course offers an excellent opportunity to be exposed to new concepts and tools.
Learn more about each of our new courses and learning objectives:
Building Operators | Technicians | Project Managers | Consulting Engineers | Property Managers
At its core, a well-run Building Automation System (BAS) will reduce energy consumption, and allow for a more efficient operation of a building’s systems. This should in turn allow the building management to increase the comfort of their tenants while reducing their operating costs.
In this 1-day course, we will examine systems basics and energy conservation strategies that we permit you to run your BAS efficiently and effectively — regardless of which system you are running.
Building Operators | Consulting Engineers | HVAC Specialists | BAS Programmers | BAS Designers
Building on participants’ established knowledge of BAS, this course offers an in-depth focus on the design, diagnostic, trend monitoring, and control strategies that will allow participants to run their buildings with superior efficiency and energy management.
This 1-day training leverages a BAS diagnostic case study exercise using real-time data to reinforce the principles taught in the course.
This course is relevant to all those in charge of energy in commercial and institutional buildings.
Economic circumstances require companies and organizations of all types to improve their cashflow. Luckily, energy is not a fixed cost and can be managed just like any other business function. This course will provide time-tested and applied ways to reduce energy consumption in buildings, notably under varying occupancy levels.
Drawing from the experience of our expert instructors, as well as from highly relevant material from NRCan’s Dollars to Sense program, CIET has created a 1-day workshop to help you take control of energy use to improve financial performance and reduce your operation costs.
Upon completion of this workshop and supporting activities, participants will be able to:
Building Operators | Facility Operations Staff | Building/ Asset Managers | Energy Managers |
Service Providers to the commercial building industry | Commercial Project Managers
This workshop is an interactive course designed to engage, motivate and empower Building Operators. Our instructors will facilitate participants’ understanding of how energy behaves, how energy is used in their facility, and how it can be controlled through operational action across a variety of building systems.
A unique aspect of this training course is the Virtual Energy Hunt which will bring participants into a building with the use of visuals and real-time BAS data. This will allow participants to take part in a detailed examination of a building and its systems. Based on the results of the energy hunt, participants will review what systems can offer the most energy savings, and how to prioritize actions.
Professionals in career transition | New Canadians interested in a career in energy efficiency |
Professionals seeking to upgrade their skills | New graduates | Recently hired energy management professionals
Whether you are a recent arrival to Canada, a new professional just entering the job market, a student completing their studies, or looking to further your career in energy efficiency, CIET has developed a course that provides pragmatic knowledge and skills that you can demonstrate and apply to an employer from the outset. The program can also be seen as a steppingstone toward the Certified Energy Manager (CEM) designation – which is normally taken only after at least three years of experience in the field.
Those involved in selling EE to colleagues or management within their organisation | Those who are trying to sell EE retrofits, projects or technologies to external clients
Although the benefits of and justification for energy management (EM) may seem obvious to some of us, this is often not the case for many of our clients and even our colleagues. Being able to articulate and present the many positive attributes of EM – from operational cost savings, to conservation, to reduced equipment maintenance – is key to selling EM projects.
Drawing from the experience of our expert instructors as well as from highly relevant material from NRCan’s Dollars to $ense program, CIET has created a 1-day workshop to help you make the case for EM.
