Residential Energy Advisor (REA) Prep Foundation

Take the first step toward becoming an NRCan-Registered Energy Advisor (REA) with CIET’s Foundation Level Prep Course. This comprehensive program prepares you for the Foundation Level Exam by providing an overview of building science principles and sound business practices for REAs.

Over three days, participants learn to complete hands-on geometric and arithmetic calculations and unit conversions, interpret house plans, and examine entire building envelopes from fenestration to mechanical and renewable energy systems.
Upon completing the course and passing NRCan’s Foundation Level Exam, participants may advance to CIET’s Energy Advisor Prep Course and become a full-fledged REA.
