Decarbonization is the process of reducing carbon intensity and greenhouse gas emissions. This entails decreasing CO2 emissions from buildings, power generation, and transportation per unit of electricity generated.
Those who work toward decarbonization are responsible for identifying, selecting, and implementing projects that will lower overall emissions, whether employed as consultants, members of a sustainability team, or involved in facility operations. These professionals are counted on to analyze projects as well as understand carbon pricing and the cost of energy so that they can make the right choices for their organizations.
CIET’s comprehensive training courses are designed for both current and aspiring decarbonization professionals. Use the learning path below to identify the right courses and the best training sequence to achieve your career goals.

This one-day training is intended for managers and professionals wishing to learn about the various strategies that serve to achieve carbon neutrality in their building assets and manufacturing facilities.
This course provides participants with the tools and expertise needed to determine the best path to decarbonization aligned multiple organizational objectives including emission reduction targets, capital planning cycles, operator capacity and expertise, and climate adaptation. Participants learn best practices as developed through real world expertise to ensure their decarbonization projects are effective in both the short and long term.
This one-day course is designed to provide participants with hands-on experience analyzing decarbonization projects. The course will cover the basics of incremental cost, pricing carbon, net present value, total cost of building ownership, and how to determine what needs to be included in a decision matrix.
This highly interactive training uses the ISO 50001 Standard as a model to help organisations implement a structured, adapted and effective energy management system (EMS). Whether your organisation wants ISO 50001 certification or not, the guidelines covered throughout this course are highly valuable in helping design a sound and robust EMS.
To provide an introduction and tools for using the ISO 50001 standard, CIET will be presenting a webinar that will be available publicly. The ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems Standard promotes the integration of energy efficiency into management practices to increase awareness about energy use, reinforce good energy management behaviours, and make better use of existing energy consuming assets and processes.

The Becoming Carbon Neutral course helped frame the opportunities and challenges our customers and our own organization are going to face in becoming carbon neutral. It has served as a foundation, enabling our teams to better support our customers as they move through the process and be part of the solution.

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.
