⚡ Certified Energy Manager (CEM) — Exam-Prep

Independent, free exam-preparation that walks through the publicly published CEM body-of-knowledge domains — energy management & accounting (ISO 50001), electrical and thermal systems, HVAC, building envelope & lighting, measurement & verification (IPMVP), energy economics and rate structures, renewables, demand response and codes, plus combined heat & power and decarbonisation. This is awareness/study material only: it is NOT the official AEE course and is NOT affiliated with or endorsed by the awarding body. It maps to AEE Certified Energy Manager body of knowledge. The course is organized into 10 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

• Energy management & accounting (ISO 50001)
• Electrical systems & efficiency
• HVAC systems & controls
• Building envelope & lighting
• Thermal systems & waste-heat recovery
• Combined heat & power (CHP) & cogeneration
• Measurement & verification (IPMVP)
• Energy economics & rate structures
• Renewables, demand response & codes
• Carbon accounting & decarbonisation

Learning objectives

• Recognise that this is independent CEM exam-prep across the public syllabus domains, not official AEE courseware
• Build an ISO 50001 energy-management system with a policy, energy review, baseline, SEUs and normalised EnPIs
• Improve electrical efficiency through demand management, power factor, transformers, motors and VFDs
• Analyse HVAC loads, chillers, economizers and controls, and tighten the building envelope and lighting
• Recover thermal energy from boilers, steam systems and waste heat, and evaluate combined heat & power
• Apply IPMVP Options A–D to measure and verify real, defensible energy savings
• Evaluate projects with simple payback, life-cycle cost, NPV and IRR against utility rate structures
• Use solar PV, storage, demand response, ASHRAE 90.1 and carbon accounting to cut peak demand, energy and emissions
