CEM Training in Portland October 23rd – 27th 2017

Your local chapter of the Association of Energy Engineers, the Columbia River Chapter (AEE CRC) will again host a comprehensive five-day Training Program for Energy Managers. The training and exam will be offered over 5 days (October 23-27) and will include 4 days of training with the proctored CEM exam on the fifth day.

The five day session will provide an in-depth and comprehensive learning and problem-solving forum for those who want a broader understanding of the latest energy efficiency and cost reduction strategies. The program begins by examining the fundamentals within all key areas of energy management. Students then learn, system by system, how to diagnose and analyze energy savings opportunities.

The Training Program will take place October 23-27, 2017 at the National Electrical Contractors’ Association (NECA/IBEW-48) training facility, located at 16021 NE Airport Way, in Portland, Oregon. Daily schedule is 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and includes breakfast and lunch. The price of the course and exam is $1,999 for AEECRC members and $2,199 for non-members.

Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) instructor Eric Woodroof will teach the course. Woodroof, who has led the CEM program on five continents, states, “The new energy/carbon requirements in the US will absolutely make the CEM even more desired by employers and energy consumers.”

“The CEM certification has become the de facto standard in the energy efficiency industry,” said Pat Lydon, former President of Columbia River Chapter. Since its inception in 1981, the Certified Energy Manager credential has become widely accepted and used as a measure of professional accomplishment within the energy management field. It has gained industry-wide use as the standard for qualifying energy professionals both in the United States and abroad.

September 2017 Energy Engineering Forum – Does This Make Sense Anymore? – Energy Efficiency in a Market Awash With Low-Cost Power

 

THANKS TO CHARLIE GRIST FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATION. YOU CAN FIND A COPY OF HIS PRESENTATION HERE

 

 

We are working with Energy Trust of Oregon to present a series of Energy Engineering Forums in 2017. This free event consists of a one hour technical presentation followed by fifteen minutes of Q&A. A complimentary lunch and certificates of attendance will be provided.

Does this make sense anymore? – Energy Efficiency in a Market Awash with Low-cost Power

Charlie Grist

Conservation Resource Manager

Northwest Power and Conservation Council

 

The market price of energy is so low that sometimes it’s negative, wind and solar plants are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, natural gas generation is so cheap it’s displacing coal, and in many places electric loads are not growing – even though population is.  These circumstances challenge the notion of energy efficiency as a resource.  Yet the Northwest Power Council’s Seventh Power Plan (2016) calls for developing ever more energy efficiency. Come hear Council staffer Charlie Grist  describe the current state of the power system, the near-term outlook and how energy efficiency fits into the picture.

We will also be hosting this event as a webinar. Please use the link below to register.
