Total number of hours dedicated to Energy Auditor Certification Course = Approx. 52 hours
Course Description
The 52-hour course is designed to provide the learner with knowledge, practical skills and attitude required to carry out an energy audit that involves gathering of data, evaluating and analyzing energy usage in a facility and recommending opportunities to reduce energy consumption through conservation and optimization. Course certificate is a requirement to apply for a Certified Energy Auditor qualification with the Department of Energy (DOE).
Course Objectives
Upon completion of the Energy Auditor Certification Course (EACC), participants are able to:
- perform the role of an energy auditor;
- gather, evaluate and analyze data on energy use, energy efficiency and consumption;
- identify and prioritize opportunities to improve energy performance;
- conduct pre-audit, site audit and post-audit activities; and
- comply the reportorial requirements under RA 11285:2018 (EEC Act) and its IRR.
Who may benefit from the course?
The course is mandatory for individuals who will be carrying out energy audits in designated establishments. This also offers benefits to existing and would-be energy managers whose responsibilities include the conduct energy audit activities.
The course is nice-to-have for other members of the energy performance improvement team in designated establishments to gain essential knowledge and significantly contribute to the attainment of the establishment’s energy goals, objectives and targets.
