ABOUT THE COURSE
In an increasingly data driven world, the ability to interpret and apply energy data effectively is essential for energy professionals, policy makers, analysts, and sustainability leaders. Energy Data, Metrics, Benchmarking and Analytics is a comprehensive OnDemand course designed to equip professionals with the knowledge, tools, and techniques required to collect, analyze, and apply energy data in a meaningful and strategic way.
Course Overview:
This course demystifies the complex world of energy data by providing foundational knowledge of key energy metrics and sources of data, and by guiding participants through practical applications of analytics in energy management, reporting, and decision-making. Learners will gain critical insight into how to use energy data to benchmark performance, and make informed, data driven decisions. Attendees will see “raw data analysis” in common off the shelf programs such as excel (as opposed to complex systems). The course is ideal for a variety of job titles to help improve operations, enhance energy savings and discover potential areas for buildings improvements.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify and interpret key energy data sources and metrics.
- Normalize and benchmark energy data across different sectors and facility types.
- Apply analytical techniques to uncover trends, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement.
- Leverage data to support energy management strategies, sustainability targets, and compliance reporting. Make the energy data as a part of your Strategic Energy Plan.
- Be able to explain why energy benchmarking is vital for identifying areas of energy efficiency improvement, cost savings, and the impact buildings have on emissions & sustainability
- Communicate energy data effectively to stakeholders using visualizations and narratives.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
Walter “Wally” Bright is President of the Institute of Energy Professionals (IEP), where his goal is to provide practical and impactful energy management training backed by expertise in energy efficiency. Walter Bright is the lead instructor for all IEP training, instructing topics such as HVAC and Building Automation Systems (BAS), as well as other building-system and energy-related subjects. Prior to IEP, Wally spent five years in the building automation field as a contractor, designing open-protocol, multi-vendor, Tridium-based control systems for a variety of facilities, including schools, data centers, water treatment plants, and others. He helped produce shop drawings and created standards/best practices for the company to ensure quality installations. Wally has experience in the A&E industry as well, performing MEP design for the healthcare and research/lab sectors. In addition to traditional design work, he helped create standardized BAS specifications, sequence of operations, and provided controls-related oversight on a variety of projects. He also led equipment startups and several investigations to identify mechanical/controls-related issues with new and existing construction. Working both as a contractor and an engineer has enabled Wally to gain a unique insight into the BAS/controls marketplace.
