WADE Canada is offering the first of a series of RETScreen® version 4 Training Workshops to increase the implementation of efficient renewable energy systems in Alberta. This intermediate-level RETScreen® training session is a component of WADE Canada’s DE certification program. Experienced RETScreen® trainers will review the best practices for evaluating clean energy projects using RETScreen® version 4 for anyone wishing to reduce costs (both financial and time) associated with identifying and assessing potential energy projects. These costs, which arise at the pre-feasibility, feasibility, development, and engineering stages, can be substantial barriers to the deployment of Renewable-energy and Energy-efficient Technologies (RETs). Companies, small businesses, institutions and individuals will be able to evaluate energy production, life-cycle costs and greenhouse gas emissions reduction for a clean energy solution to their energy costs. The training package includes two days of training, a DE installation tour and an evening keynote speaker & dinner session. The tour will be at the University of Calgary’s Child Development Centre. This building was awarded Canada’s 2007 Solar Building of the Year and is recognized by the Canada Green Building Council as the largest and highest scoring LEED Platinum building in Canada. The tour will be hosted by the building’s energy engineer, Dr. Jim Love of the University of Calgary. The solar technology distributor for this project, Sedmek Inc., will also be on hand to answer questions.
