Federal and provincial governments across Canada are committed to supporting the agriculture industry in optimizing its energy use. There is a growing demand for energy auditors who possess a working understanding of energy use in agriculture. This training program is designed to equip energy auditors with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed to effectively assess and improve energy efficiency on farms.

Participants will learn to identify energy conservation measures, conduct basic energy assessments, and provide actionable recommendations to improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance farm resilience. The program supports Canada's net-zero future and addresses the unique energy challenges in agriculture.

Participants will attend in-person sessions on June 23 and 24 followed by asynchronous coursework completed independently. The program will conclude with Farm Audit site visits on August 19 and 20 (location to be determined).
