Welcome to CIET Training

Over the past 30-40 years, energy efficiency (EE) has been successfully used across Canada by all types of organisations to reduce their energy costs and increase their bottom line, which also has the benefit of reducing their carbon footprint.

Particularly, the past few years has seen an acceleration of the

use of EE as a key tool in climate change mitigation action.

In this context, the Canadian Institute for Energy Training (CIET)

is the only organisation in Canada dedicated to enhancing the

skills of all types of professionals to ensure they can help their organisation reap the benefits of EE. Indeed, CIET has been a key actor and a witness to the incredible changes in Canada’s energy sector since its inception in 1996. Throughout these years, we have always been striving to provide high-quality, third-party, vendor-agnostic and independent training programs so

that our clients and participants can be assured that entrusting us with increasing their capacity and

knowledge will make a difference in their behaviours, actions and careers.

Our growing team works hard every day to ensure that the more than 100 training sessions offered from coast to coast in both official languages annually run smoothly and provide unique experiences and

pragmatic knowledge to our loyal clients. We notably count on arguably the most capable, diverse and

recognised team of energy efficiency experts in Canada to deliver training programs covering a wide variety of subjects.

This brochure has been prepared to provide you with the necessary information to select which of our training programs is right for you. It is also aimed at assisting you to understand the breadth of energy efficiency topics so that we can help you tailor a training program for your team. If you have questions, our team of customer service and business development staff will be more than pleased to assist you in understanding which learning path is right for you. They will explain how CIET can support you in

CIET has created five Energy Learning Paths to help professionals chart a path towards achieving their career goals by outlining the body of knowledge and tools they will need to reach them.

Step 1: Choose your career path Step 2: Learn about its connection to energy Step 3: Find workshops to boost your career

Energy Learning Paths

Professionals in Energy

Management are closely involved in

the planning and

monitoring of energy use at an organisational

or facility level. Often technical leads, they are

the drivers of energy

efficiency projects, the authority on reporting

and regulations,

planners of retrofit

projects and managers of renewable energy

projects.

Individuals involved in Energy Consulting and

Modelling are generally

responsible for helping clients conserve energy

and reduce operating

costs by utilising a

variety of tools.

Consultants are often

involved in forecasting

and predicting energy

use, and recommending

EE and retrofit projects

that can bring about savings. Additional

benefits to clients include

setting and meeting energy management GHG

reduction targets.

Those who work in this

sector are responsible for the daily operations

and maintenance of

buildings and their services, which often

include tenant needs

and comfort. They often

have a direct link to energy controls and

settings for buildings, as

well as a mission to run

the building as

efficiently and cost-

effectively as possible, both within a building’s

walls and throughout

the entire building envelope.

Those working for utilities and public

agencies and institutions

are often involved in managing and executing

energy efficiency

projects and reduction incentive programs,

often at a regional or municipal level.

Professionals in these

sectors often work with

a network of

stakeholders and customers on energy

and GHG reduction

policies.

Individuals in this sector

interact with customers

to provide solutions and

proposals, including

costs and payback options that will reduce

energy consumption and

operating costs. They play a key role in acting

as a resource in

educating customers on

energy solutions and

providing them with information on energy

conservation incentive programs from utilities

and public agencies.

Introduction to Measurement and Verification (M&V) This one-day training offered in collaboration with the Efficiency Valuation Organisation (EVO) discusses the principal M&V and IPMVP concepts by underlining the central purpose served by M&V, summarising the possible usages of M&V methods and stressing the need to conduct M&V calculations based on each project’s specific characteristics.

Making the Case for Energy Efficiency Although the benefits and justification of energy efficiency may seem obvious to some of us, this is often not the case for many of our clients and even our colleagues. Being able to articulate and present the many positive attributes of energy efficiency, from operational cost savings to conservation to reduced equipment mainte-nance, is key to selling EE projects.

Drawing from the experience of our expert instructors, as well as from highly relevant material from NRCan’s Dollars to $ense program, CIET has created a 1-day workshop to help you make the case for EE.

ISO 50001: An Energy Management System This highly interactive two-day training course uses the ISO 50001 standard as a model to help the attending organisations implement a structured, adapted and effective energy management system (EMS). Whether your organisation wants to become ISO 50001 certified or not, the guidelines provided by the standard and covered during the course will be highly valuable in helping construct a sound and robust EMS.

Pump Systems Optimisation

This course is product-neutral and provides case studies and actual field data to show the energy savings and kilowatt reduction with a more efficient pumping system. Management can use this course as a valuable tool to introduce better EE practices within their scope and regions. Participants will develop the skills to identify a broad range of system improve-ment opportunities, determine where to focus efforts in their own organisation and develop an action plan with financial justification. Your company or organisation will quickly see a return on the investment in less than a year.
