Energy Audit & Management

Overview:

Introduction:

This training course explores the topic of power quality and its effects on the reliability of the electrical system. Power quality is first precisely defined, because, without a precise definition, measurements of baseline conditions and assessments of improvement are impossible. Then methods of evaluating reliability are investigated. After completing this course, you will have a thorough understanding of how power quality and reliability can be measured, and how changes made to the electrical system will affect these important properties

Course Objectives:

At the end of this course, the participants will be able to:

  • Raise the professional standards of those engaged in energy auditing.
  • Improve the practice of energy auditors by encouraging energy auditing professionals in a continuing education program of professional development.
  • Identify persons with acceptable knowledge of the principles and practices of energy auditing through completing an examination and fulfilling prescribed standards of performance and conduct.
  • Award special recognition to those energy auditing professionals who have demonstrated a high level of competence and ethical fitness in energy auditing.

Targeted Audience:

  • Experienced auditors
  • Managers of large audit teams
  • Facility managers and engineers
