SCEM Training Programme

With effect from 22 April 2013, the Singapore government has introduced minimum energy management requirements for large industrial energy users that consume more than 15 GWh of energy each year or 1.29 kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). Energy management practices include the appointment of energy managers, reporting of energy use and submission of energy efficiency improvement plans for large energy users.

The SCEM programme is designed for engineering professionals who intend to build their career as energy managers. It gives a thorough understanding of the key energy issues either in the building or industry sector. The programme will help the participants to develop the technical skills and competencies needed to manage and track energy usage within the organisations they serve.

A SCEM is envisioned as a competent energy professional equipped and qualified to perform technical and managerial functions in the areas of:

Energy audits, management and measurements
Energy retrofitting services
Financial advisor for energy efficiency measures and contracting
Consultation and Procurement services
Facility and energy management
Energy engineering works
