Applied Energy Management

Energy is a substantial cost to most organizations and industries. It’s also a finite resource. Business decisions are made with energy management in mind. Skilled energy managers positively impact corporate bottom lines and help conserve an important resource.

If you’re looking to add to your existing engineering degree or diploma, consider pursuing a future in this growing area of sustainable building.

Our one-year Applied Energy Management Program will provide you with the skills to work in energy management, energy auditing, and design and development of efficient new energy systems for commercial and industrial facilities.

You’ll gain hands-on experience in commercial building automation, efficient building operation, energy auditing, and energy management including solar energy.

Students also learn to apply new energy-efficient technologies and innovative solutions to conservation, sustainability, and management of energy and efficiency for HVAC, lighting, office equipment, and building automation and control systems in commercial buildings.

When you graduate, you’ll be ready to apply commercial building energy concepts to buildings in the real world. Enroll today in the Applied Energy Management Graduate Certificate Program and power your engineering career forward.

Duration

The requirements for this graduate certificate may be achieved within one year of full-time study.

Admission Requirements

Profile F

• Diploma in Engineering Technology (any discipline), Degree in Engineering (any discipline), or an equivalent combination of education and work experience in the Energy Management of commercial building industry.

Career Possibilities

Energy powers everything. And for individuals with the expertise to manage its use efficiently and sustainably, it can power career growth.

Our graduates find opportunities in every aspect of energy management from how it is generated and distributed to how it is used in residential, commercial, and industrial/manufacturing settings.

Common career paths that program graduates put their energy into include energy auditors/consultants who audit energy use in facilities to identify inefficiencies and recommend improvements, energy managers who monitor and manage energy usage in manufacturing and other industrial/institutional facilities, and mechanical engineering technologists who plan and install energy management control systems.

Many energy managers decide to work for themselves and offer their services as independent consultants and advisors to industry and government. With the future focused on sustainability and smart energy solutions, energy management can be a smart career choice.
