CERTIFIED ENERGY AUDITOR AND CERTIFIED ENERGY MANAGER TRAINING SERIES
Dear Engineer,
We have commenced the process of helping 100 engineers among members of the Nigerian Society of Engineers to get international certification as Certified Energy Auditor (CEA) and Certified Energy Manager(CEM)
These certifications have global acceptance and recognition in more than 100 countries including the US, Canada and the EU. The certifications from the Association of Energy Engineers USA has become a major capacity building programme for energy managers all over the world.
Through support and technical assistance from the German Development Agency (GIZ) through the NESP programme, Wasser and Bau is collaborating with resource persons to deliver some training in the area of Energy Auditing and Energy Efficiency to member of the Nigerian Society of Engineers.
With Nigeria aiming to improve on efficient utilization of energy resource in the near future, Energy Auditing and Energy Efficiency is expected to take center stage in the country’s effort to attain energy sufficiency. Our mission is to training and build the capacity of the next generation of engineers that will provide services and technical knowledge in these areas and thereby creating jobs
We will partner and seek support from our German partners and the AEE USA to further streamline the process of getting at least 100 of our engineers obtain these certifications in 2021.
The first part of the training will commence virtually this March due to the COVID-19 restriction still in place in Nigeria. However, good arrangement have been put in place to deliver a seamless training for this course throughout the year.
Kindly note that Wasser and Bau is NOT the certifying body or will this training lead to automatic certification as CEA or CEM. However, this training is a preparatory course expected to provide a good foundation and mentorship for those interested in getting certified as Energy Managers and Energy Auditors
The training will be in three (3) Modules covering the entire curriculum of the CEA and CEM exams. Participants will have to register for any of the preparatory training course independently . We have carefully selected the topics and resources to meet the desired goal.

Module 4 – Computer Software Application
Module 5 – Energy and Electrical Basics
Date 15 – 17 March 2021
Venue: online via Zoom
Fee: Twenty-five thousand for each module (Discounted to N25,000)
Time: 3pm – 6pm

ABOUT THE TRAINING
The training will widely cover the design of photovoltaic systems, such as utility scale solar farms or residential scale systems (both on and off the grid). You will learn about the function and operation of various components including inverters, batteries, DC-DC converters and their interaction with both the modules and the grid.
After learning about the components, you will be able to correctly apply them during main design steps taken when planning a real PV installation with excellent performance and reliability. Through modelling, you will gain a deeper understanding of PV systems performance for different solar energy applications, and proficiency in estimating the energy yield of a client’s potential system.
