The Certified Building Commissioning Professional (CBCP) course is designed to present all phases of commissioning projects and current best practices to ultimately prepare participants to take the exam and earn the CBCP designation. At its core, building commissioning involves quality focused projects that serve to provide documented confirmation that building systems function as intended (by both design and operational criteria), thereby meeting the operational requirements of owners. Projects of this nature have proven to be important because buildings that operate suboptimally tend to have poor indoor air quality and comfort, consume higher levels of energy, and lead to equipment failures. Properly commissioned buildings typically have fewer change orders, tend to be more energy efficient, and have lower operation and maintenance costs. Additionally, commissioning serves to restore existing buildings to a state of high productivity through the implementation of renovations, upgrades, and tune-ups of existing systems. This five-day course is designed to meet the technical training requirements of those seeking to gain comprehensive knowledge of the commissioning process from the pre-design to operational phases. The training also provides considerable detail on the fundamental principles of both new building commissioning and existing building commissioning (often called recommissioning).

The Certified Industrial Energy Professional (CIEP) training is designed to equip professionals with the skills required to optimize energy efficiency in industrial settings. The CIEP program covers various aspects of energy management, such as energy auditing, system optimization, energy procurement, and sustainability practices in industrial facilities. Participants learn how to analyze energy usage, identify potential energy saving opportunities, and develop strategies to reduce energy consumption and costs. Over four days, participants explore topics such as energy management fundamentals, energy auditing techniques, efficient energy technologies, industrial process optimization, renewable energy integration, and regulatory compliance. They gain insights into the most effective methods for assessing energy performance, implementing measures to save energy, and measuring the effects of energy efficiency initiatives in industrial settings.

An often overlooked and important parameter of successful energy efficiency and decarbonization projects is the humans involved. Specifically, the actions of people can lead to the success or failure of a project. This 2-day training program is intended for participants who want to create an engagement strategy incorporating the various aspects of behavioral and holistic organizational management. In this training, you will put together a plan to change behaviours while engaging people – either internally (staff, operations, teams) or externally (tenants, clients, occupants).

The Embodied Carbon Accounting is a comprehensive two-day course designed specifically for sustainability, environment, and decarbonization professionals. This course delves into the technical aspects of identifying, measuring, and strategically reducing embodied carbon in both consumed goods within organizational procedures and building constructions and renovations. The course begins by dissecting the concept of embodied carbon, offering a detailed understanding of its significance within institutional and commercial sectors. Technical sessions dive into methodologies for calculating and managing embodied carbon in consumed goods, procurement strategies to replace carbon-intensive materials with low-carbon alternatives, and practical insights into reducing carbon emissions during construction and renovation phases. Participants will gain an in-depth understanding of how to establish organizational policies aligned with greenhouse gas reduction objectives and harness embodied carbon projects to maximize organizational and structural efficiency. Moreover, the courses emphasizes the crucial link between embodied carbon and waste disposal, offering strategies rooted in the principles of a circular economy to minimize waste and lower carbon footprints.
