Energy retrofits and net zero targets promise lower bills and lower emissions, but many buildings fail to deliver the savings that were forecast. Performance gaps, optimistic assumptions, supply delays, tenant behaviour and shifting tariffs all put projects and budgets at risk. This five-day programme shows how to see those risks early and treat them in a structured way.
You learn to build a risk register for energy and carbon projects, interrogate energy audit assumptions, and compare design predictions with metered consumption. Sessions cover measurement and verification, energy performance contracting, equipment and commissioning failures, solar and storage integration, supply chain and installer risk, financing and tariff exposure, and carbon baselines and reduction pathways. You work through scenarios using sample audit data and retrofit business cases. Facilities managers, building services engineers, energy managers, sustainability officers, property and asset managers, project managers and lenders in the built environment will gain most. Delivery is classroom-based across our cities, online, or in-house for property owners and institutions, and a CPD-accredited certificate is awarded. Afterwards you can prepare a risk register, stress test a savings forecast and present a risk-based case for a decarbonisation programme.
Buildings account for a large share of energy use and emissions, and owners across Africa and beyond are now under pressure from tenants, investors and regulators to cut both. The difficulty is that the promised savings are uncertain. Between the audit and the utility bill lie design errors, installation faults, commissioning gaps, changing occupancy and fluctuating energy prices.
The Risk Management for Building Energy Performance and Decarbonisation Training Course applies established risk management methods to this setting. Participants learn to identify hazards to performance across the project life cycle, rate them for likelihood and impact, and decide which to avoid, reduce, transfer or accept. The course examines technical risks such as equipment sizing and controls, delivery risks such as procurement and contractor capability, and commercial risks such as tariffs, financing and savings guarantees.
Learning is case-driven. Participants analyse sample energy audits, test the sensitivity of retrofit business cases and finish by compiling a risk-based decarbonisation roadmap for a building or portfolio of their choice, supported by feedback from the trainer and from peers working in different property sectors.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
