The Accredited Energy Manager course is an on-line, self-paced course that helps the student to understand the general principles of energy/resource management. The course is the pre-requisite for the AEM Certification Exam. By working towards and obtaining the AEM Certification, individuals gain industry knowledge and peer recognition as they demonstrate an understanding of resource management and energy-efficiency practices. In addition to the online course, a series of review sessions is offered throughout the year to help the student prepare for the exam.


AEM Exam: December 2026, February 2027 & April 2027

- must complete the course first before taking the exam

 
 

Throughout the on-line, self-paced course, the participant will develop an Master Energy Management Plan. As a first step toward developing a plan, you will review, in more specific detail, the 18 responsibilities of any Energy Management Department. The participant will also understand the importance of accurate data in creating plan and how to fund and use the data. A methodology for keeping gathered baseline data updated and current will also be presented. Furthermore, tools needed to determine what information is needed for evaluating the Energy Management Department’s progress are discussed, in support of continuing analysis. At the end of the course, the participant will learn about producing an evolving facility improvement program, to include replacement project prioritization planning, financing the program, commissioning/retro-commissioning basics, measurement and verification program, and the full development of a Master Energy Management Plan.

To receive certification, students must successfully complete the course, have a TEMA-approved Master Energy Management Plan document that provides a good representation of the individual's agency, and successfully present their plan to the MEM review committee.
