Description
Introduction
Energy costs are on the rise. Implementing energy efficiency measures in your workplace is essential in avoiding the mounting cost pressures that rising energy prices will bring.
This course will help you identify demand and supply efficiency opportunities in your workplace, evaluate the business benefits and develop solutions to improve the way your organisation uses energy.
During the course you will also be taken through several case studies to see how solutions have been applied in real-life.
“I have attended many workshops and seminars both in the private and public sectors. Never have I felt so involved in a workshop and immersed in the discussions like I had during the 2-day Energy Efficiency Workshop presented by CTI. I recommend whole heartedly all to attend the workshop.”
Robert Teo, Senior Manager, Burwood Council
This course will enable you to:
- Understand the sources and types of energy used within the workplace, community facility and home
- How to overcome the barriers to energy efficiency adaptation
- Identify energy demand and supply efficiency opportunities in the workplace
- Develop solutions to improve energy efficiency productivity
- Evaluate the business and community benefits associated with different energy efficiency projects
- Implement energy efficiency opportunities
- Understand and interpret energy efficiency product guidelines
- Calculate running costs and project costs for energy efficiency opportunities to establish a cost/benefit analysis

(e.g. Payback, IRR, NPV) - Employ workplace strategies to performance-manage business outcomes
- Prepare reports and effectively communicate energy efficiency recommendations and objectives
Why you should undertake this course
Energy efficiency is one of the key initiatives for the abatement of carbon emissions and the transition to the low-carbon economy that legislation is now in place for.
For businesses, energy efficiency offers numerous opportunities to improve operational and financial performance by mitigating against energy risks including price increases and exposure to a carbon price e.g. carbon tax.
In addition, with Energy costs are on the rise, identifying energy efficiency opportunities in the workplace and home are critical to avoiding the mounting cost pressures that rising energy prices will bring.
