Build the right toolkit with this energy audit tools course — and conduct more accurate, thorough audits that deliver real energy savings for your clients.
Learn at low cost. Pass the quizzes and you’re eligible to purchase a certificate. Certificate prices are shown on each course’s page.
We’ve developed this energy audit tools course to help energy auditors buy or hire energy audit tools to know what to look for, how to best use different tools, and avoid common mistakes in tool purchases. Energy auditors with knowledge of energy auditor tools should end up with a toolkit that hasn’t cost an arm and a leg but helps them do better audits.
ISO 50002, Energy Audits, provides very little guidance about what tools an energy auditor should use when undertaken an energy audit – this course addresses that gap! And for those undertaking an energy review as part of deploying an ISO 50001 Energy Management System, this course will help you understand which tools are useful when undertaking an energy review, and how to go about selecting the right tools.
Continuing Education (CE) or Continuing Professional Development (CPD) refers to additional formal learning activities that are required to maintain a professional certification or accreditation.
CE or CPD comes in many names but represents the same thing. Here are some of them that may be used in your country:
Many of our courses provide Continuing Professional Development credits, points, hours, or units. To learn more about Continuing Education and Continuing Professional Development, please read here.
When you pass all the quizzes in this course, you’ll get a certificate of achievement on course completion, with a QR code that when scanned validates its authenticity. Use this certificate to demonstrate to employees and others your growing sustainability credentials!
Most energy users wanting to hire an energy auditor expect him to have available various tools to aid in identifying and quantifying energy savings opportunities. But there is little guidance on what tools are needed and how to assess a tool for its suitability.
Without this knowledge, you may end up buying tools that are rarely, if ever, used, or perhaps you end up with regularly used tools that are cumbersome and hard to use. This energy audit tools course provides guidance on the characteristics you should be looking for in a tool. It discusses each category of measurement tool that auditors commonly use:
Our Tools for Energy Auditors course then looks at data collection tools, software tools, and tools that aid in communication and engagement.
Following this energy audit tools course, you should have a good idea of the tools you need and how you can best use them to aid your energy audits.
This energy audit tools course is for energy auditors who aren’t working in a company that has their own tool set, those new to auditing, and those who may be stuck with the same tools they were using years ago and are curious to see what other tools may be of use, or what advances there may have been.
This energy audit tools course is for you if any of the following apply:
This energy audit tools course doesn’t provide detailed instructions on the use of specific tools. That’s best left to the manufacturers and the instructions they provide with the tools. On the other hand, it does help you understand what tool is right for the job. It also provides practical guidance on the use of tools.
As suppliers and availability of tools vary from country to country, this energy audit tools course doesn’t provide guidance on specific brands.
If you want to further improve your energy systems management and optimization skills, we highly recommend completing our Investment Grade Energy Auditor (IGEA) certification.
By acquiring a IGEA certificate, you’ll be qualified to conduct professional energy audits for corporations, manufacturing plants, buildings, and other establishments in the industrial sector.
This Tools for Energy Auditors is the fourth course of the Investment Grade Energy Auditor (IGEA) Certification Program. Enroll Now
The core toolkit covers electrical measurement tools, temperature sensors and loggers, airflow measurement equipment, and data logging tools. Beyond physical measurement, auditors also need software tools for data analysis and communication tools that support reporting and client engagement. This course covers all of these categories — for each one, it walks through what to measure, which tool to use, and what commonly goes wrong.
Tool selection comes down to a few key characteristics: accuracy for the application, ease of use in the field, data output format, and cost relative to how often you’ll actually use it. ISO 50002 provides very little guidance on this, which is one of the main reasons this course was developed. It gives you a practical framework for assessing any tool against these criteria before you commit to buying or hiring it.
Data logging involves recording energy-related measurements — power consumption, temperature, flow rates — over time, rather than taking a single point-in-time reading. Logged data gives you a far more accurate picture of how a system actually operates across different load conditions. This course covers data logging tools and how to convert the raw data they produce into useful information for your audit analysis.
There are several free spreadsheet and analysis tools that can significantly improve the quality of energy audit data analysis and reporting. This course covers what’s available and how to use them — including how to work with CSV data exports from measurement equipment and turn them into clear, actionable outputs for your audit reports.
Not necessarily. Many auditors spend more than they need to on tools they rarely use, while overlooking lower-cost options that would serve them better. This course is specifically designed to help auditors build a practical, cost-effective toolkit — one that supports thorough audits without the cost outweighing the value of the work itself.
Yes. This is Part 4 of the Investment Grade Energy Auditor (IGEA) certification program — an eight-part series that qualifies you to conduct professional investment-grade energy audits. It can be taken as a standalone course, but if you’re working toward full IGEA certification, this is where the tools training sits in the sequence.
