When: Winter 2012

Where: GTA

This course will not be offered again in 2011. Watch for a new offering in Winter 2012.

After a summer break, IndEco will continue to provide instruction for the MEARIE courses for conservation and demand management (CDM) professionals. Introduction to the Principles of CDM for CDM Professionals will provide a general overview of all elements of CDM with a focus on Ontario, including:

• CDM program planning and design
• CDM program implementation
• Marketing and promotion of CDM programs
• CDM economics (including TRC, LRAM, SSM, and the new incentive mechanism)
• Evaluating, monitoring, and verifying savings for CDM programs.
  

The course is one of seven courses being offered by The MEARIE Group that IndEco staff will be leading. The courses are a combination of presentations, group discussion, small group exercises, and best practices sharing. Among other topics, courses being offered include more in-depth and focused training on several of the above CDM topic areas. Participants who successfully complete all seven CDM based training courses will be eligible for a MEARIE CDM Specialist Certificate.
