The Building Energy Modelling Essentials course is a perfect starting point for those who wish to become familiar with modelling concepts and demonstrate compliance with the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB).
This one-day course provides an overview of NECB requirements and descriptions of the three compliance paths (prescriptive, trade-off, and performance). For a more extensive NECB course, see Working with the National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB). During the training, participants examine a commercial building case study model to learn about the details included in models and the factors that ensure a successful and compliant energy model, a process that covers basic modelling principles. Additionally, this course serves to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of different energy modelling software.
EnergyPlus is a powerful energy modelling software tool used to support the design of high-performance commercial and institutional buildings. It is also used to assess and demonstrate performance path compliance with the NECB.

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.
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.
