Description:

This course will position electrical contractors at the forefront of creating the major new and rapidly expanding green energy business sector of Comprehensive Facility Energy by educating and training electrical contractors, staff, and electricians in the best practices and most effective techniques to conduct Comprehensive Facility Energy Audits (CFEA) via Facilities Energy Audit Training (FEAT). The Facility Energy Audit Training course consists of two phases of technical CFEA application: (1) Initial Energy Audit Screening, and (2) Preliminary Energy Assessment (PEA) Data Collection.

This session will leave electrical contractors with skills to identify energy efficiency project opportunities in commercial, industrial and institutional facilities. Screening Audit training will prepare newly minted auditors to conduct “first blush,” high level assessments of entire facilities. All major systems are assessed including the building envelope, mechanical systems, and electrical systems. The Screening Audit does not include detailed measurements or testing, but frequently leads to a second phase of the process – the Preliminary Energy Assessment (PEA).

The structure and treatment of the Facility Energy Audit Training course is designed to:

  • Engage participants’ attention from the start, and keep their attention throughout the course work.
  • Introduce course topics in a concise conceptual level, with only the required amount of technical detail.
  • Incrementally build understanding and actively practice application of required skills and knowledge in manner that parallels the “real world” requirements as closely as possible.
  • Test participants’ knowledge regarding a Screening Audit, and test participants’ ability to complete a PEA audit given a “typical” customer situation.
