Program Overview

The industrial sector plays a key role in Canada’s energy transition, and skilled professionals are needed now more than ever. To support this shift, CIET is offering an exclusive 50% discount on a selection of training courses designed to help industrial professionals reduce energy consumption, lower GHG emissions, and improve efficiency.

CIET is proud to offer the Fundamentals of Compressed Air Systems course in partnership with the Compressed Air Challenge. Many industrial users are unaware of facility air flows, neglect to track air-related costs, and fail to regularly monitor their systems beyond maintenance concerns. This training is aimed at increasing awareness about the challenges and solutions associated with compressed air systems.

During this one-day course, participants acquire the skills to efficiently calculate and minimize compressed air expenses within their facilities. Additionally, they gain expertise in effectively managing compressed air systems to ensure optimal reliability and productivity. Practical exercises, using data from their own facilities, are conducted to emphasize tangible cost-saving outcomes. This course equips participants with the knowledge necessary to prioritize the achievement of concrete results in their plants or facilities.

By participating in this training, participants develop a deeper understanding of the expenses linked to compressed air. The course acts as a trigger for recognizing and creating opportunities for cost reductions. A recent survey conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy revealed that facilities that implement energy saving measures achieve an impressive 80:1 cost-to-savings ratio.

This course is offered in collaboration with the Compressed Air Challenge (CAC).
