Introduction
The Energy Auditor Certification Course (EACC) is an approximately 52-hour blended learning program delivered through self-paced online materials and live webinar sessions.
The course develops the knowledge, practical skills, and professional attitude required to conduct energy audits. It covers the gathering, evaluation, and analysis of facility energy-use data and the identification of opportunities to reduce consumption through conservation, efficiency, and system optimization.
The course certificate is a requirement when applying for a Certified Energy Auditor qualification with the Department of Energy.
Why This Course Matters
Designated Establishments require qualified professionals who can assess energy performance, identify significant energy uses, evaluate efficiency opportunities, and produce reliable audit recommendations.
The course prepares participants to perform structured energy audits and comply with reportorial requirements under RA 11285 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
Objectives
Upon successful completion of the course, participants should be able to:
- Perform the role and responsibilities of an Energy Auditor.
- Gather data on energy use, energy efficiency, and energy consumption.
- Evaluate and analyze facility energy data.
- Identify and prioritize opportunities to improve energy performance.
- Conduct pre-audit, site-audit, and post-audit activities.
- Develop an appropriate energy-audit plan.
- Assess the performance of electrical and thermal systems.
- Comply with reportorial requirements under RA 11285 and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.
Who should Attend?
The course is intended for:
- Individuals who will conduct energy audits in Designated Establishments
- Professionals seeking to apply for Certified Energy Auditor qualification with the Department of Energy
- Existing Energy Managers whose responsibilities include energy-audit activities
- Aspiring Energy Managers who need knowledge of energy-audit practices
- Members of an organization’s energy-performance improvement team
- Engineers, consultants, and technical professionals involved in energy assessment and efficiency projects
