The Certified Energy Manager (CEM®) certification is the most recognised designation in energy management and provides a wide range of benefits to help you thrive in both your role and in the energy efficiency industry. More than 16,000 professionals from over 40 countries are now CEM® certified, including more than 4,500 in Canada. The program is also ideal for professionals who require CEM® certification as recognition of their industry expertise or as a required designation for a given position or project.
The comprehensive five-day CEM training is ideal for professionals who seek a thorough program that covers the technical, economic, and regulatory aspects of effective energy management. The CEM also provides a comprehensive forum with problem solving activities for those who want to gain broader understanding of the latest energy cost reduction techniques and strategies. Additionally, the course has recently been improved to include:
Here is a short video about the concept of net present value (NPV), a calculation often used when selecting energy efficient technologies or projects. This is an example of one of the many concepts that are part of the CEM course:

After earning his master’s degree in mechanical engineering from Université Laval, Mr. Guy Turgeon has been gaining experience in engineering for 39 years. Over the years, he has participated in projects implemented in multiple sectors, including public, commercial, industrial, institutional and residential. Having led many multidisciplinary engineering teams in his own enterprise, as well as with several large engineering consulting firms, Mr. Turgeon is recognized as a specialist in buildings and related energy efficiency issues, particularly in matters concerning heat exchange, heat recovery, lighting, and new technologies. He has played an active role on many design and management committees of large-scale projects. Having developed several conferences and written a number of expert articles, he is also working as a trainer in several engineering fields related to energy efficiency.
The prerequisites to qualify for the certification process have been designed to take into account the possible diversity of education and practical experience an individual may have. However each CEM candidate must meet one of the following criteria:
| Education | Experience | |
| 4-year degree in engineering or architecture OR Professional Engineer or Registered Architect |
AND | 3+ years of experience in energy engineering or energy management |
| 4-year degree in technology, environmental science, physics, or earth science | AND | 4+ years of experience in energy engineering or energy management |
| 4-year degree in business (or related field), or a 3-year advanced diploma along with a CET designation |
AND | 5+ years of experience in energy engineering or energy management |
| 2-year energy management associate's degree | AND | 6+ years of experience in energy engineering or energy management |
| 2-year technical associate's degree | AND | 8+ years of experience in energy engineering or energy management |
| NONE | AND | 10+ years of experience in energy engineering or energy management |
If you don't yet meet the education or experience eligibility requirements for the CEM, but succesfully pass the exam, you will be awarded the Energy Manager in Training (EMIT TM) certification.
The CEM certification is recognized, required and otherwise supported in numerous public and private entities. See AEE’s 2013 CEM Report for more details. In Canada, the CEM is frequently listed as a key qualification on job announcements, but is most notably recognized in the following ways:
The Government of Alberta’s Quantification Protocol for Energy Efficiency in Commercial and Institutional Buildings requires the Protocol to be applied either by a CEM or a Certified Measurement and Verification Professional (CMVP).
You know the CEM is required or recognized elsewhere? Please let us know!
All CEM candidates must complete the Certified Energy Manager 5-day Training Program. After completing your seminar registration, go to STEP TWO below.
A specific link will be given to you through your registration email in order to access our certification platform. There you will be able to complete all required fields and submit your application to us.
The open book CEM exam will be administered remotely. You will have a period of at least two weeks to schedule your exam with Proctor U. This allows for great flexibility in finding a suitable time for you. You will receive all instructions in the week prior to the course. Please wait to receive your official Proctor U invitation email in order to book your exam date and time. No other action is required from you regarding Proctor U at this time.In the meantime, you will find the information needed to conduct the exam by consulting the ProctorU Guidelines.
This document contains step-by-step instructions that show the invite and scheduling process: ProctorU_Invite and scheduling process
Sample emails that candidates can expect to receive from ProctorU are shown here: ProctorU-sample-Email-Examples
Details about the onboarding process can be found here: ProctorU_OnboardingProcess
Information for candidates themselves to troubleshoot issues with ports, firewalls, and the LogMeIn Rescue Applet are provided in the following document: Procotor U-troubleshooting issues
Should you wish to reschedule your exam under another cohort, you may do so yourself through the same link remitted by Proctor U, however you must reschedule no later than 72 hours before your scheduled exam time.
Should you wish to postpone the exam to the next session, there is a $150 + tax penalty fee unless you demonstrate medical proof.
You should expect to receive your exam results by email within 60 days of taking the exam. If you have successfully passed the exam and your candidacy has been approved by the certification board, you should expect to receive your certificate by mail within 45 days of receiving your exam results. If you failed the exam, you would have the possibility to retake it after at least 60 days of the original examination date.
Your CEM Application form must be submited before your score can be released. Please do not call CIET about your test results before the end this outlined delay period.
You must contact CIET at info@cietcanada.com to register for your exam retake. The costs are the following: $150 plus taxes.
If you receive a passing score and have submitted your CEM Application form, and if your file is complete including all supporting documents, your file will be sent to the Certification Board for final review.
