Measurement and verification (M&V) is the process of using measurements to determine the actual energy savings generated by energy management projects at individual sites. Common M&V activities include metering,​ data collection and processing, transparent savings calculations, monitoring, quality assurance, and​ third-party report verifications. The two-day Advanced Measurement and Verification training program provides practical exercises and advanced concepts to individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of M&V. This program is a valuable complement to the theoretical knowledge acquired through common M&V certification courses and designations. Day one serves to review the primary features of M&V and concentrate on the utilization of diverse statistical tools to create M&V plans, including samples, linear regressions such as multivariable regressions, and uncertainty calculations. Day two serves to explore practical examples of International Performance Measurement and Verification Protocol (IPMVP) options for lighting, motors and variable speed drives, compressed air systems, heat recovery systems, and commercial buildings. Participants also conduct calculations for those scenarios. Day two culminates in the development of an M&V plan.

The Certified Energy Manager (CEM®) certification is widely regarded as the leading designation in the energy management field. It is highly sought after by professionals who wish to establish their expertise in the industry or who require it as a prerequisite for a particular role or project. The CEM certification has been awarded to over 16,000 individuals in more than 40 countries, with over 4,500 of those certifications being delivered in Canada. This certification provides a multitude of advantages to professionals working in the energy efficiency industry. The five-day CEM training program is designed for professionals seeking a comprehensive understanding of effective energy management. The course covers technical, economic, and regulatory aspects of energy management. It provides a comprehensive forum through problem-solving activities to develop a broad understanding of the latest energy cost reduction techniques and strategies. The course has been improved to provide you with the following additional benefits: Participants receive a free 90-day subscription to the RETScreen Expert® software. Case studies and peer exercises covering topics such as measurement and verification solutions, heat recovery, distributed energy resources, and more. A Q&A session at the end of each day, during which instructors answer your questions about the study materials […]
