Course Summary

The rapidly changing climate and environment have recently given rise to many more renewable energy sources. These are cleaner energy sources that have fewer negative environmental effects than traditional forms of energy. Traditional energy sources such as coal, nuclear energy, or energy gained from non-renewable power plants are becoming a thing of the past. 

 

In today’s society, we’re using more energy than ever to power technology which is essential for keeping businesses afloat. For everyone, renewable energy is now important to preserve what we have and it’s also a great way for businesses to save money, generate a greater return on investment, and do their bit for the environment.

 

To make steps to change your business to renewable energy, you will learn the basics about energy technologies, processing, and energy markets. It’s important that you understand both why and how the energy market is changing to stay ahead of the game and keep your costs down. 


Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

 

  • Understand the differences between renewable and non-renewable energy. 
  • Determine how renewable energy could help to support your business. 
  • Take steps towards transferring your energy usage to renewable energy. 
  • Create a cost-benefit analysis to review the possibilities of renewable energy. 
  • Gain buy-in from employees, stakeholders, and clients regarding your sustainable proposal. 
  • Appreciate the benefits of a renewable energy business model. 
  • Devise a strategic framework for renewable energy transfer. 
  • Understand how much energy usage you could reduce through automation and using renewable sources. 
  • Develop a smart grid or grid integration plan and forecast change elements.
  • Understand the components required for wind or solar energy. 

This course has been created for anyone who wishes to understand the future of energy and how it can affect their business or anyone responsible for converting their business to renewable energy usage. It would be most beneficial for:
 

  • Technicians
  • Electrical Engineers
  • Business Owners
  • Operations Managers
  • Project Managers
  • Power generation Engineers
  • Transmission Engineers
This course utilises a variety of adult learning methods, including slideshow presentations and video content, to compare the effects of renewable energy against those of traditional energy. It opens up group discussions to allow participants to come to solid conclusions and devise strategic solutions to transfer their energy usage to renewable sources. There will also be opportunities to create budgeting frameworks to display cost savings accurately using a cost-benefit analysis.
