Certified Energy Auditor (CEA)

An energy auditor analyzes and evaluates how energy is used in commercial and institutional facilities, identifies energy conservation opportunities, and issues recommendations on areas in which consumption can be reduced or optimized. There are three main types of energy audits:  

• Level 1 audits (walkthrough surveys that serve to rapidly identify opportunities for energy savings);  
• Level 2 audits (energy survey analyses commonly used in commercial buildings);  
• Level 3 audits (detailed analyses of capital -intensive modifications). 

The four-day Certified Energy Auditor (CEA) program provides participants with the fundamental knowledge needed to evaluate how energy is used in facilities and identify areas in which consumption can be reduced. It also covers useful calculation methodologies through practical examples and peer exercises.
