"Organizations that own and operate buildings are increasingly setting aggressive targets to reduce their GHG emissions. These targets are driven by factors such as increasing carbon taxes, carbon pollution limits, corporate social responsibility, and tenant demands. Additionally, extreme heat and wildfire events are pushing us to create more climate resilient buildings. To meet these aggressive targets, many organizations are shifting their focus from energy efficiency measures to decarbonization projects. These projects involve more stakeholders, higher costs, and more complex technical and operational considerations. Planning for a low carbon transition and selecting decarbonization projects can be complicated. Where do we start? Which projects or buildings should we prioritize? How do we determine the best path to decarbonize our portfolios? This course guides participants through the process of selecting the best path. Case studies are used to illustrate important decarbonization project considerations and success factors. Visit cietcanada.com to learn more about this course and to register (website link below) "

"To assist with the challenges of controlling heat and reducing energy consumption in industrial processes, CIET has created the Heat Integration of Industrial Processes (HIIP) course.

Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) involves improving the performance of existing buildings. Over the years, there has been growing interest in EBCx projects since they are proven to be an effective means of identifying low-cost or no-cost operational improvements that can enhance occupant comfort and achieve energy savings. They may be conducted as a standalone activity or as part of renovation or modernization projects. The four-day Advanced Course on Existing Building Commissioning (EBCx) program comprehensively covers all the stages of the EBCx process. This includes planning, investigation, implementation, and hand-over monitoring. The course provides detailed presentations on each stage to enable participants to develop a comprehensive understanding of the entire process and to gain all the expected benefits. This course covers the fundamental principles of building mechanical systems and explores effective testing and verification methods. Participants also gain a comprehensive understanding of the investigation process. Visit cietcanada.com to learn more about this course and to register (website link below)
