Retrofit programmes, green building certifications and net-zero pledges all promise savings, yet few organisations can prove what a building actually saved. Without sound baselines, metering and evaluation design, claims of lower energy use and avoided emissions fall apart under scrutiny from funders, regulators and tenants. This five-day programme teaches participants to measure what matters, from utility bills and sub-meters to degree-day normalisation, energy use intensity and greenhouse gas inventories.
You work with IPMVP options for measurement and verification, results frameworks and indicators for building portfolios, data collection from building management systems, and evaluation designs that separate programme effects from weather and occupancy changes. Energy managers, facilities and property managers, M&E officers, sustainability leads, engineers, donor programme staff and public estate officers will find it directly useful. Delivery is by classroom, online or in-house team sessions, with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can set up a monitoring plan, verify savings from a retrofit and present decarbonisation progress to a board or financier with confidence.
Buildings account for a large share of energy demand and emissions, and cities across Africa and beyond are adding floor space rapidly. Governments, banks and corporate owners are launching efficiency standards, green financing and decarbonisation targets, but these initiatives only succeed if performance is measured credibly. Poor data leads to disputed savings, stalled financing and retrofit projects that never repeat.
This course applies monitoring and evaluation discipline to building energy performance. Participants start by defining a results chain for an efficiency or decarbonisation programme, then select indicators, set baselines and design data collection from meters, bills and building management systems. They learn to normalise consumption for weather and occupancy, calculate energy and emissions savings using recognised measurement and verification practice, and judge the reliability of results.
The later sessions focus on evaluation questions: did the programme cause the savings, for whom, at what cost and with what wider benefits for comfort, health and jobs. Participants practise with sample datasets and building audits, producing a monitoring plan and a short evaluation report that can be adapted to their own portfolios.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the Monitoring and Evaluation of Building Energy Performance & Decarbonisation programme, you'll be able to build a results framework for a building energy efficiency or decarbonisation programme, select energy, emissions, cost and comfort indicators suited to different building types, establish defensible energy baselines and adjust them for weather, occupancy and operating hours, and apply ipmvp options to verify savings from retrofits and operational changes. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
The course is designed for people who run, fund or assess building efficiency work, including: Energy managers and energy auditors, Facilities and property managers, Monitoring and evaluation officers in climate and energy projects, Sustainability and ESG managers, Mechanical, electrical and building services engineers, Public estate and housing officials, Development partner and green finance programme staff, and Consultants preparing green building and carbon reports.
