COURSE OUTLINE

1.    Overview of EECA 2024 and the Role of REM

Introduction to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2024, its objectives, scope, and regulatory expectations. This module explains the appointment, accountability, and statutory role of the Registered Energy Manager under the Act and issued guidelines.

2. Functions and Duties of a Registered Energy Manager

Detailed explanation of the functions and duties of an REM as prescribed under Section 5(2) of EECA 2024. Participants will understand their obligations in data management, EnMS implementation, reporting, and advisory roles to energy consumers and management committees.

3. Energy Data Collection and Analysis

Practical guidance on collecting, recording, and analysing energy consumption data, including minimum data requirements, trend analysis, baseline comparison, and identification of energy consumption patterns, variations, and Significant Energy Uses (SEUs).

4. Implementing and Monitoring Energy Management Systems (EnMS)

Guidance on supporting the establishment and implementation of EnMS, including assisting Energy Management Committees, proposing objectives and targets, developing action plans, allocating resources, and monitoring EnMS execution through regular meetings and reviews.

5. Energy Performance Monitoring and Management Review

Focus on monitoring energy performance, verifying data accuracy, conducting Energy Management Committee meetings, preparing performance reports, and facilitating annual management reviews with top management in line with guideline requirements.

6. Energy Efficiency & Conservation (EE&C) Reporting

Step-by-step guidance on preparing EE&C reports in accordance with the Commission’s prescribed format. Emphasis is placed on ensuring accuracy, consistency with utility bills, invoices, equipment records, and audit reports.

7. Energy Audits, Energy Saving Measures and M&V

Understanding how REMs leverage energy audit findings to propose energy-saving measures, develop action plans, and recommend appropriate Measurement and Verification (M&V) approaches to validate savings and performance improvements.

8. Additional Data Requirements and Continuous Improvement

Coverage of additional data collection requirements such as production data, equipment inventories, and operational variables affecting energy consumption. The module emphasizes the REM’s role in supporting continuous improvement and regulatory readiness.
