Energy consulting helps organizations better understand how to reduce energy use while making it more cost-effective and efficient. Energy consultants are often required to collect and analyze consumption data (energy, electricity, and water) to establish baseline usage and set targets. In-depth investigations can reveal which organizational activities use the most energy and which types of mechanical and technical systems offer the best opportunities for energy savings.
Additionally, energy consultants often help organizations conduct facility audits and set reduction targets as well as provide commissioning advice on how to save money through construction and retrofit projects. They also assist organizations in selecting and carrying out decarbonization and renewable energy projects.

Former participants share how training with CIET has transformed their professional life.
My background in energy efficiency was primarily at the industrial process level, so I chose to train with CIET to expand my knowledge on building energy systems. I completed the Advanced Course on Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) as well as the two courses on Building Automation Systems. The new concepts I learned, enhanced by the knowledge of the trainers and the other participants, quickly helped me identify opportunities relating to energy, comfort, and maintenance, most often “low cost” ones.
