Energy Auditor courses

    Hi Folks,

    I am just inquiring about how one becomes an Energy Auditor. Or a Energy Auditor in training. What training needs to be done and who carrys it out?

    I am qualified as a Chemical Engineer and have previously worked as a Process Engineer in the Pharma sector. This sector doesn't seem to be recruiting in my locality lately and I am thinking of branching into the energy sector.

    Unfortuntely, my experience in the energy sector is limited but I am willing to learn and learn quickly. I'd like to add other Energy management services to my belt also but to be qualified to do Energy Auditing would be a good start i reckon.

    Any comments or help out there?

    Might want to look here:

    www.iema.net

    Also, there's an Engineers Association of Ireland in Ballsbridge, they may have information on changing sectors.

    Are you thinking of energy auditing, or Building Energy Rating Assessing? There is a bit of the latter in the former (huh?).

    I trained as a BER assessor at Tipp Institute and from what I can see, its about the best course around. There are private courses where it might be easier to get a cert, but the standard at Tipp was pretty good.

    As regards other aspects of energy auditing, I think DIT has some programmes in this area...
