⚡ CEA — Certified Energy Auditor (Exam-Prep)

An independent, free exam-preparation course built over the publicly published AEE Certified Energy Auditor body of knowledge. It walks the full syllabus — the audit process and ASHRAE levels, utility-bill analysis and energy accounting, the building envelope, HVAC, lighting, motors and drives, compressed air, measurement and verification (IPMVP), engineering economics, energy management (ISO 50001) and safety — with visual lessons, worked numbers, original self-check questions and a 10-question final exam. It is awareness/preparation only and is NOT the official AEE course or exam, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by AEE. It maps to AEE Certified Energy Auditor body of knowledge. The course is organized into 9 modules, ending with a final exam (pass mark 80%). It is independent, free exam-preparation training — not an official or accredited review course.

What you'll learn

• Module 1 — The Energy-Audit Process & ASHRAE Levels
• Module 2 — Utility Bill Analysis & Energy Accounting
• Module 3 — Building Envelope & Heat-Transfer Fundamentals
• Module 4 — HVAC Systems & Efficiency
• Module 5 — Lighting, Motors, Drives & Compressed Air
• Module 6 — Measurement & Verification (IPMVP)
• Module 7 — Engineering Economics, Reporting & Payback
• Module 8 — Energy Management (ISO 50001) & Continuous Improvement
• Module 9 — Audit Safety, Instruments & Professional Ethics

Learning objectives

• Understand that this is independent CEA exam-prep over the public AEE body of knowledge — not the official AEE course, exam or endorsement
• Run the energy-audit process and distinguish the ASHRAE audit levels (Preliminary, Level I, II and III)
• Analyse utility bills, build an energy account, and compute Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and demand for benchmarking
• Reason about the building envelope (U-value, R-value, infiltration) and HVAC as the largest energy end-uses
• Find and quantify savings in lighting, electric motors, variable-speed drives and compressed-air systems
• Apply measurement & verification using the four IPMVP options and an adjusted baseline
• Use engineering economics — simple payback, life-cycle cost, NPV and IRR — to rank measures honestly
• Connect findings to an energy management system (ISO 50001 Plan-Do-Check-Act) and audit safety
• Sit a 10-question, exam-style final exam (80% to pass) built from original questions
