What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Energy-saving measures across residential and small commercial buildings — identify, rank, and prioritize based on cost-effectiveness and feasibility with limited supervisory review.
  • Mechanical, electrical, and building envelope systems — inspect and evaluate independently to determine energy consumption patterns on routine commercial and multifamily sites.
  • Audit reports with energy analysis results and cost-saving recommendations — prepare clearly written documents that meet program requirements and client expectations without close oversight.
  • Potential energy savings — calculate using industry-standard tools and software such as blower door results, utility bill analysis, and energy modeling inputs on familiar building types.
  • Technical feasibility of weatherization measures — analyze by applying knowledge of construction, mechanical systems, and local energy costs in standard audit contexts.
  • Health and safety concerns including combustion safety, moisture issues, and electrical hazards — assess and document before recommending weatherization measures on occupied residential properties.
  • Building management system controls and demand-response equipment — examine on commercial sites and evaluate whether installation could reduce peak electricity consumption.
  • Maintenance and operational improvements — identify and communicate practical recommendations for HVAC, lighting, and process systems to facility managers during routine audits.
  • Geographic information and database software — use to retrieve building records, map audit sites, and track program progress across an assigned portfolio of properties.
  • Client communication — deliver verbal explanations of audit findings using clear, non-technical language adapted to homeowner or small-business-owner audiences.
