Contents and structure of the training


Experts and executives who are self-responsible part of companies (e.g. operating managers, production managers, energy officers, maintenance engineers, process engineers, and factory technicians) as well as energy service provider are the typical target group for the EnergyManager Training.
The training is usually held extra-occupational and consists of the three following elements: face-to-face teaching (160 teaching units, 45 min each), self-learning and energy concept (80 teaching units in total). During the courses the participants acquire the theoretical knowledge which they may then use for the first time in practice while creating their energy concept.
The subject matter comprises two areas: engineering and management. Almost any energy relevant application in a company is part of the training. Of course, the subject matter is constantly adapted to the changing basic conditions.

Currently the following topics are part of the training:

Engineering

  • Basics of energy engineering
  • Building physics
  • Energy-conscious building and renovation
  • Heating engineering / geothermal energy
  • Process heat
  • Ventilation | Air conditioning
  • Refrigeration engineering
  • Compressed air
  • Lighting
  • Electrical drives
  • Green-IT
  • Process and load management
  • Monitoring and control systems
  • Cogeneration
  • Solar technology
  • Energy from biomass

Management

  • Energy management systems
  • Economic calculation
  • Energy contracting
  • Project management
  • Energy purchasing, energy trade
  • Energy legislation | rules & standards
  • Climate protection management | emissions trading | CDM | JI

The nearly unique EUREM standard guarantees a strong basis for the training in different countries of the world. But: Individual adaptions to the country specific requirements can partly be made. By this way geographical factors can be taken into account. For example: Finland is able to focus more on heating processes and Portugal more on air conditioning and refrigeration engineering. Thereby a flexible breathing product is created which is despite of that based on a concrete defined structure of the curriculum.
