Practical, impactful, and backed by expertise in energy efficiency.
Participants leave with actionable learning that can be taken back to their day-to-day job activities and applied immediately. Instructional topics include the core technical topics — electric rates, air compressors, HVAC, boilers, building envelope, BAS, etc. — but also the broader topics around how to start and maintain a successful energy management program, strategic energy planning, managing energy beyond profitability, and more.
Designed for a wide range of participants — from boots-on-the-ground maintenance professionals to Fortune 500 energy managers — the Energy Management Diploma Program features expert instructors with knowledge at all levels. Program instructors are actively consulting with a variety of companies and organizations who are facing the same problems and challenges as our participants.
Asking pointed questions about your unique situation with an expert in that respective field is an invaluable tool for getting what YOU need from the training.
One Exam, Two Credentials
Once the course requirements have been fulfilled, the participant can sit for the Energy Management Diploma exam. The exam is a capstone assessment of the entire course. If desired, the exam can also serve as the examination for the Professional Energy Manager® (PEM) exam, allowing the participant to obtain both the diploma and certification with a single exam.
