Detailed Overview/Outline

The program is designed for professionals who supervise and manage technical professionals in energy. These professionals may not be engineers, technicians or even technically oriented but they are business oriented. Procurement, management, energy accounting and reporting, performance contracting management, alternative financing, utility rates and project financing are critical elements of their job. They need an understanding of how energy efficiency opportunities impact the "bottom line" for their customers. They need to be able to communicate in non technical terms the advantages and disadvantages of the various efficiency opportuntites available. This new program will enable these professionals to document that they understand the techniques necessary to excel.
