Course description
A comprehensive, practitioner-level course that equips participants to run an energy-management programme and conduct a basic energy audit. Four days of structured theory build the fundamentals — energy systems, regulation, auditing and analysis — and the fifth day puts it to work on a real site, where participants conduct a walk-through (Level 1) audit and produce a structured Level 1 energy audit report. The course is a simplified, accessible version of the in-depth programme Eenovators has delivered to large industrial facilities.
Who it's for
Energy managers, facility and maintenance engineers, sustainability officers and aspiring energy auditors.
What you'll be able to do
- Apply energy fundamentals and analyse facility energy and billing data.
- Plan and conduct a Level 1 walk-through audit aligned to ISO 50002 and ASHRAE Level 1.
- Identify and quantify energy-management opportunities across key systems.
- Apply basic Measurement & Verification (IPMVP) and savings / ROI calculations.
- Write a structured Level 1 energy audit report.
Course outline — 5 days (4 theory + 1 audit)
- Day 1 — Fundamentals. The energy landscape and the case for action · Energy Act 2019 and EMR 2025 · electrical basics; bill and tariff analysis (power factor, time-of-use).
- Day 2 — Energy systems. Motors and drives; pumping and fans · compressed air; lighting; HVAC · steam/thermal systems and refrigeration — efficiency measures.
- Day 3 — Auditing. The ISO 50002 audit process end-to-end · ASHRAE audit levels (1–3) · audit tools, instruments and data collection · energy balance and benchmarking (Energy Use Index).
- Day 4 — Analysis & reporting. Savings calculations and ROI · introduction to Measurement & Verification (IPMVP) · the energy audit report structure · introduction to monitoring and RETScreen.
- Day 5 — Walk-through audit (practical). On-site walk-through audit and data capture · identifying and quantifying opportunities · drafting the Level 1 energy audit report.
How it's taught: Structured theory with worked examples and an instruments demonstration, followed by a full-day supervised site audit and guided report writing. Assessed on a team-produced Level 1 audit report plus a knowledge assessment; participants receive an Eenovators Certificate of Completion.
