- Overview
Course Overview
Most facilities have energy costs running month after month, with nobody systematically reviewing whether consumption patterns reflect genuine operational need or just accumulated inefficiency. Utility bills get paid. The equipment keeps running. That gap between having an energy program and running one that actually reduces costs and improves energy performance is exactly what Certified Energy Managers exist to close, and what this CEM Certification Training program is designed around.
The course covers the AEEE CEM framework, how to implement energy auditing controls against it, and how to produce documentation that leads somewhere useful. It sits within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio alongside CHMM Certifications, public training courses in occupational safety and environmental compliance. New to energy management or looking to formalize existing experience, this CEM Training gives you the structure to get there.

- Outline
Course Outline
Day 1: Introduction to CEM and Energy Management Fundamentals
- Before managing an energy program, you need to understand what it is supposed to deliver. This day covers the AEEE CEM certification framework from the ground up, its structure and what each domain means for energy management professionals specifically.
- The breakdown is focused on practical application rather than engineering theory alone for those working through the CEM exam preparation process.
- Real energy waste incidents and program failures are brought in to show what happens when Facility Energy Management is treated as a utility bill review rather than a genuine operational discipline.
Day 2: Energy Auditing and Utility Bill Analysis
- A facility you have never properly audited is a facility full of savings nobody has found yet. This day covers Energy Auditing methodology, utility bill analysis techniques, and how to build an energy baseline that reflects what is actually happening operationally.
- Participants work through how to assess energy consumption patterns, identify inefficiency sources, and prioritize opportunities based on real payback potential rather than guesswork.
- The output of this day is a practical energy audit approach participants can take back and apply to their own facility straight away.
Day 3: HVAC Energy Efficiency and Building Energy Management
- Mechanical systems account for the largest share of energy consumption in most buildings and facilities. This day covers HVAC Energy Efficiency assessment, Building Energy Management controls, and how to evaluate system performance against established benchmarks.
- Energy Efficiency Management principles are applied across lighting, building envelope, controls systems, and equipment scheduling so participants understand where efficiency gaps exist and what closing them looks like.
- Role-play scenarios run throughout, so participants practice real energy performance conversations rather than just reading about them.
Day 4: Industrial Energy Management and Renewable Energy
- Managing energy in an industrial environment introduces a completely different set of variables. This day covers Industrial Energy Management techniques, how to assess process energy consumption, and how to evaluate Renewable Energy Management opportunities within existing operational constraints.
- Sustainable Energy Management principles, energy performance measurement, and presenting findings to senior management are covered in depth. The difference between a significant efficiency opportunity, a marginal gain, and a capital investment decision matters, and this day makes sure participants understand why.
- Energy reporting and how to produce output that drives genuine corrective action rather than just getting filed are both addressed here.
Day 5: CEM Exam Preparation and Energy Program Management
- The final day turns the week into something usable. Building a full Energy Management Certification program, maintaining records that satisfy AEEE requirements, and preparing seriously for the CEM exam itself.
- Commonly tested CEM exam areas are reviewed, practice scenarios worked through, and honest feedback given on where more preparation is needed before pursuing the accredited qualification.
- Participants leave with an energy program structure they can implement and a clear picture of their certified energy manager certification pathway.

- Case Study
Case Study Example
A commercial property group had been managing energy costs across twelve sites for years with no formal CEM training in place. Consumption reports were produced monthly but actioned by almost nobody, until an external review identified nine significant efficiency gaps the facilities team had consistently overlooked. After a structured CEM Certification Training program, the energy management process was rebuilt properly. In the following review cycle, energy costs dropped measurably across the portfolio. The facilities director stopped treating utility bills as a fixed overhead.
- Why Choose
Why Choose This Program?
Energy Management Training that stays theoretical is not much use to someone responsible for real consumption targets in a real facility. The Global Industries Intelligence Certified Energy Manager program is built around practical scenarios, honest preparation, and skills that transfer directly to the job. New to CEM certification work or looking to raise the quality of an energy program you already run, this CEM Training gives you what the work actually requires. Contact us now for upcoming dates or explore in-house training options. You may also be interested in our CHMM Certification, information technology certifications, and other public training courses available within the Global Industries Intelligence training portfolio.
