Energy Advisor Foundation Exam Training

Registered EnerGuide Energy Advisors are becoming highly valued professionals across Canada, especially for the housing sector.

Natural Resources Canada created and administers the Registered Energy Advisor program to ensure that Canada has the professionals it needs to guide the housing sector to an energy-conserving low-carbon future. Currently the federal government is hoping to see an additional 2,000 individuals trained for this profession.

Developers and home builders need Registered EnerGuide Energy Advisors to oversee the energy performance of their projects in order to achieve the highly coveted EnergyStar rating.

Homeowners that want to qualify for the new $5,000 Canada Greener Home Grant program, and other similar homeowner energy incentives, need their house to be assessed in advance by a Registered EnerGuide Energy Advisors, and then inspected by the Advisor after completion to receive their grant.

Training programs for prospective Registered EnerGuide Energy Advisors, and current practitioners who want to upgrade their skills:

E106 Energy Advisor Foundation Exam Training is a three day course to prepare students for the mandatory NRCan Energy Advisor Foundation Exam.

Following successful completion of the Energy Advisor Foundation Exam, students can advance to take our three day E206 Energy Advisor Exam Training to prepare them for this even more rigorous NRCan exam. Students who pass this exam are designated as Registered EnerGuide Energy Advisors and are fully qualified to perform in any designated role for this profession.

INTRODUCTORY HOT2000 ENERGY MODELING

FOR NEW & EXISTING HOMES

HOT2000, also known as H2K, is the energy modeling software developed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to perform energy modeling for new and existing single family homes.

HOT2000 is used for the design of all high performance new houses in Canada including those designed to comply with EnergyStar for New Homes.

While used across Canada, in Ontario HOT2000 is of particular relevance to homes built in accordance with SB12, the Sustainable Building energy performance requirements of Part 9 of the Ontario Building Code, the standard for single family homes.

HOT2000 is also being used for assessing the energy status of existing homes under the new Canada Greener Homes Program which offers Canadian homeowners grants of up to $5,0000 for approved energy retrofits.

Our one day E102 Introductory HOT2000 Energy Energy Modeling for New and Existing Homes provides a basic understanding of this modeling tool including how the modeling works and the codes and standards that are referenced and used to create and interpret Hot2000 standards. This course is ideal for architects, developers and government officials who need to be able use the data generated for new and existing houses.

E202 Advanced HOT2000 Energy Modeling for New and Existing Homes is a two day in depth application of this modeling tool for the design and optimization of a single family home. Students of this class should be able to produce and then refine the design of a home in order to optimize its energy performance.

INTRODUCTORY SMART BUILDING TECHNOLOGIES

New technologies are being used to manage and optimize an increasing range of operations in buildings of all sizes and types. Once limited to only the largest and most complex of buildings, new and innovative technologies are being applied to a wide range of building functions, especially those related to power consumption.

Resilient World Institute is pleased to offer two new one day smart building courses. E109 Introductory Smart Building Technologies will introduce students to building automation fundamentals including types of systems, communication protocols and integration. It will provide an overview of the design and implementation process for Building Automation Systems (BAS) leading to an understanding of what to include, life cycle economics for each system and utility incentives that may be available. Other topics to be covered include emerging applications such as:

• Human Machine Interface, Remote Access, Fault Detection
• Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
• Emerging Energy Conservation and Indoor Environmental Strategies
• Reference codes and standards and rating systems applicable to BAS

In our E209 Advanced Smart Building Technologies the following additional topics will be covered:

• What are the new building automation systems, programs and features post pandemic and with the new generation of occupants
• How do these new systems contribute to green, energy efficient and sustainable building objectives?
• Overview of the design and implementation process for making Smart Buildings
• Understanding what to include life cycle economics for these additional building automation (BAS) applications and systems
• Emerging Applications – Digital Twins, Way Finding, Renewable Energy, Indoor Environmental Quality, Remote and Hybrid Work
• Smart Building Certification programs and rating systems

Endorsed by the Continental Automated Building Association (CABA)

PLEASE HOLD THE DATE FOR THE BIGGEST

SUSTAINABLE ENERGY ASSOCIATION OF THE YEAR

GREEN ENERGY DOORS OPEN - GEDO 2021

At this point, we are planning a face-to-face event for Scaling Up 2021. But whether we are virtual or live, we can promise that Canada’s annual international industrial bioeconomy business conference will again bring together top drawer speakers from Europe, the UK, the US, Canada, and beyond.

​

In May 2020, the consultancy McKinsey Global reported that bioeconomy applications available today “could have direct economic impact of up to $4 trillion a year over the next ten to 20 years. More than half could be in domains such as agriculture and food, consumer products and services, and materials and energy production.”

​

In other words, the potential for the industrial bioeconomy by 2030 is $2 trillion Per Year. And that does not take into account applications yet to emerge due to breakthroughs in the science over the next decade.

​

With 348 million hectares of forests, and over 60 million hectares in agriculture, Canada has a world leading opportunity to capture a material portion of that $2 trillion market. How Canada will take advantage of this emerging and competitive space is part of what will be assessed at Scaling Up 2021.

​

Governments have a critical role to play in setting a policy framework that enables innovation to become commercially available such that companies can capture a portion of this bioeconomy market. Some of the globe’s leading proponents in the cleantech, environment, industrial bioeconomy, and government policy domain will address this opportunity. 

​

I look forward to seeing you there.

​
