Live Online Digital Transformation in Building Energy Performance & Decarbonisation Training Course
Live online, instructor-led · next cohort Nov 9, 2026 · from USD 800
Buildings account for a large share of energy demand and emissions, and owners are under pressure from tenants, lenders and regulators to prove improvement with data rather than estimates. Five days show how to turn meter readings, sensors and design models into decisions. You work with sub-metering, building management systems (BMS), IoT sensors, energy dashboards, ISO 50001 energy management, IPMVP measurement and verification, digital twins and BIM-linked energy simulation. Analytics sessions cover baselining, degree-day normalisation, fault detection and load profiling, and the closing days turn findings into a retrofit roadmap with costs, savings and carbon reductions.
The course is designed for facilities and energy managers, building services engineers, sustainability officers, property managers, architects, ESCO staff and real estate investors. It runs in classroom format in 18 cities, online, or in-house for an estate or portfolio, and ends with a CPD-accredited certificate. Participants practise on sample consumption data and floor plans, so afterwards you can set up a performance monitoring plan, identify the biggest energy waste, and present a prioritised decarbonisation case to decision makers.

About this course
Energy cost and carbon reporting are now board-level concerns for anyone who owns or runs buildings. Yet many portfolios still rely on monthly bills, manual walk-rounds and spreadsheets that show what was spent but not why. Digital tools can reveal where a chiller is hunting, where lights burn after hours and which sites drift from their targets, provided the data is structured and trusted.
This programme builds a practical digital pathway from measurement to decarbonisation. Participants learn how to plan metering and data collection, connect BMS and IoT feeds, clean and baseline consumption data, and set up dashboards and alerts. They then apply analytics to detect faults, compare buildings, verify retrofit savings using IPMVP principles and link energy models to BIM so that design choices are tested before they are built. The closing sessions deal with emissions accounting, funding options, procurement of digital services and change management with building users.
Learning is workshop based, using sample meter data, floor plans and retrofit proposals. Each participant develops a monitoring plan and a decarbonisation roadmap outline for a real or supplied building.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Plan metering and sensor layouts that reveal how a building uses energy.
- Integrate BMS, smart meter and IoT data into a single performance dashboard.
- Establish energy baselines and normalise for weather and occupancy.
- Apply analytics to detect faults, waste and abnormal consumption patterns.
- Verify retrofit savings with measurement and verification methods.
- Use BIM and energy simulation to compare design and retrofit options.
- Convert energy data into emissions estimates and a phased decarbonisation roadmap.
What you'll learn
Key Takeaways
By the close of the programme participants will hold:
- A metering and data plan for a chosen building or portfolio.
- A baseline workbook with normalisation applied.
- A dashboard layout showing the indicators that matter to managers and owners.
- A checklist of common energy faults and how data reveals them.
- A draft measurement and verification plan for a retrofit.
- A prioritised decarbonisation roadmap with estimated savings and costs.
Training Methodology
The programme is lab oriented and tied to building data. Delivery includes:
- Spreadsheet and dashboard labs using anonymised half-hourly meter data

Day 3: Baselines, Dashboards and Analytics
- Regression baselines using degree days and occupancy
- Load profiles, base load and peak demand
- Designing dashboards and exception alerts
- Fault detection for HVAC, lighting and refrigeration
- Benchmarking buildings across a portfolio
- Lab: finding hidden waste in a sample site
Day 4: Modelling, BIM and Retrofit Design
- Energy simulation inputs and typical errors
- Linking BIM models to energy analysis

- Digital twins: uses and limits
- Comparing retrofit packages on cost and carbon
Day 5: Verification, Carbon and Roadmap
- IPMVP options for measurement and verification
- Operational carbon accounting and reporting boundaries
- Funding, performance contracts and green finance routes
- Procuring digital energy services and avoiding lock-in
- Engaging occupants and building teams in change
- Presenting the roadmap and personal action plan
The course is suited to professionals who operate, design or invest in buildings, including:
- Facilities and energy managers
- Building services and MEP engineers
- Architects and BIM coordinators
- Sustainability and ESG officers in property companies
- Property and asset managers
- Energy service company (ESCO) and energy auditor staff
- Hospital, hotel, campus and mall operations managers
- Real estate investors and green building consultants
Delegates who take part in all sessions and finish the lab exercises receive a CPD-accredited Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy.
