Certified Industrial Energy Professional (CIEP™) –

Become a leader in industrial energy efficiency.

As energy costs continue to rise and inefficiencies persist in industrial facilities, the demand for skilled industrial energy professionals is higher than ever. The Certified Industrial Energy Professional (CIEP™) certification is designed to recognize professionals who possess the knowledge and experience necessary to excel in the field of industrial and manufacturing energy efficiency.

The Role of a Certified Industrial Energy Professional
Certified Industrial Energy Professionals (CIEPs) play a crucial role in ensuring that industrial plants and manufacturing facilities operate at peak performance while minimizing energy consumption. These professionals utilize energy management systems and audit processes like ISO50001 and ISO50002 to identify inefficiencies and implement cost-reduction strategies. As technical experts, CIEPs possess a deep understanding of industrial equipment and systems, enabling them to enhance overall system performance and drive sustainable energy practices.

Who Should Pursue the CIEP Certification?

  • Are you a technical or operations engineer responsible for optimizing the performance of industrial equipment such as controls, pumps, motors, and compressed air systems?
  • Are you a consultant specializing in energy efficiency for plant, manufacturing, or industrial facilities?
  • Are you an industrial plant manager overseeing energy or utility costs for your facility?

What a CIEP Can Do for You
CIEPs are instrumental in maintaining and improving the energy efficiency of industrial and manufacturing operations. By leveraging their expertise in various systems and processes, CIEPs help organizations reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and enhance sustainability efforts.
