Program Overview

An often overlooked and important parameter of successful energy efficiency and decarbonization projects is the humans involved. Specifically, the actions of people can lead to the success or failure of a project.

This 2-day training program is intended for participants who want to create an engagement strategy incorporating the various aspects of behavioral and holistic organizational management. In this training, you will put together a plan to change behaviours while engaging people – either internally (staff, operations, teams) or externally (tenants, clients, occupants).

The first day of the program will focus on the practice of influencing and modifying individual and collective behaviors to promote more sustainable practices. It will begin by defining why and how individual actions and choices play a significant role in influencing energy consumption and environmental impact. On the second day, participants will put their understanding of these concepts to the test and create their own engagement campaigns using the following structure:
