Smart Energy Management for Sustainability (20 Hours)

Introduction

Energy management is a key tool to improve sustainability. It is the process of monitoring, controlling and conserving energy use, enabling unnecessary energy use to be systematically identified and eliminated, thereby increasing the overall energy efficiency of equipment and facilities.

Leveraging Industry 4.0, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, a smart energy management system enables data-driven optimisation of energy performance and integration of best energy management practices into daily operations. This results in reduced energy cost, improved energy resilience and lower carbon emissions.

About the Programme

The Smart Energy Management for Sustainability programme starts with a holistic view of factories and facilities as an integrated system, followed by practical analytical techniques to drive energy efficiency. Participants are introduced to Industry 4.0 technologies and data analytics, and will learn how to acquire real-time data, analyse it, and translate insights into actionable energy efficiency initiatives. Designed for engineers and energy managers, the programme is delivered using the Learn-Practise-Implement™ (LPI™) pedagogy over 20 training hours, with hands-on practice through a case study conducted either at the company site or at Model Factory@SIMTech.

AI Segment (What’s Covered in AI)

Foundational AI and machine learning methods to process operational and energy data and build AI-enabled modules that identify energy savings and optimisation opportunities in industrial machinery.
Apply AI-driven analytics such as pattern discovery and anomaly detection to generate dashboard visualisations and operational recommendations.
Data-driven reasoning and unsupervised learning approached designed to improve over time as more data becomes available.

Who Should Attend

The course is designed for energy efficiency initiative leaders, Singapore Certified Energy Managers (SCEMs), sustainability managers, engineers and managers of facilities and operation management with a keen interest or basic knowledge in the areas of energy efficiency monitoring and analytics.

Upon Completion of This Course

Electronic Statement of Attainment (SOA) certificates (in OpenCerts Formats) will be issued by Skills & Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) to participants who have attended and attained competency in the Singapore Skills Framework training modules.

Participants must also meet the following criteria to receive their SOAs:

Achieve at least 75% course attendance;
Take all assessments; and
Pass the course.

Find out more about the WSQ SOA certificate

Note: Trainees will have to bear the full course fee upon failure to meet either one of the criteria.

In addition, please note that participants' SOA certificates will display the Skills Standard title, not the course title. For this course, the certificate will indicate the Skills Standard: Sustainable Manufacturing.

Why Your Statement of Attainment (SOA) Shows a Skills Standard Title

Sample of a Statement of Attainment (SOA) as shown above.

The title printed on the Statement of Attainment (SOA) issued by Skills & Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) is the Skills Standard title, such as a Technical Skills and Competency (TSC) title, rather than the course title. This is because the SOA is aligned with the national Skills Framework, ensuring consistent recognition across industries and among employers. While the course title describes the learning experience, the SOA certifies the specific nationally recognised competency attained.
