Competing demands for energy use and the need for smaller energy footprints require leaders across a wide range of industries to improve their understanding of the complex issues surrounding energy management. The UC Davis Extension Certificate Program in Energy Resource Management is designed for professionals in engineering, construction planning and design, and facility-plant operations who seek to expand their expertise in this critical area. This program covers the entire range of issues involved in understanding and managing energy in any industry, whether heavy use (food processing) or lighter use (an office complex). This six-course (17 units) program focuses on the four key issues in energy management: supply, demand, regulatory and environmental. You will develop a comprehensive and holistic appreciation of all major operational, technological, environmental and regulatory elements applicable to commercial and industrial energy resource management. Additionally, a unique course in leadership techniques helps you to become a leader in this field. This certificate program aligns with the Association of Energy Engineers requirements for Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and Business Energy Professional (BEP) in Energy Fundamentals. All class are online.
