Training

Advanced Energy offers comprehensive training courses for building professionals and individuals with an interest in proper building construction. Our courses provide practical information with hands-on opportunities for attendees to apply what they've learned.

Comprehensive Topics. Comprehensive Training.

Advanced Energy offers a wide range of training for building professionals, including:

Open enrollment classes — These courses are open to anyone. See our course schedule.
Sponsored training sessions — These courses are purchased by a sponsor for its employees or trade allies. Our fee for providing these courses depends on such variables as who does the marketing, whether we are responsible for the site costs, and the type of handouts the customer wants to accompany the course.
Custom-developed courses and training programs — We can develop customized courses or training programs to meet special customer needs.

Why You Need Advanced Energy's Training

During the past 50 years, building construction techniques and practices have changed. There are three main reasons for this:

More homeowners are concerned with comfort and safety.
Rising energy costs have created demands for energy efficiency.
Demands on natural resources have created higher costs for building materials.

As a result, new houses are built differently from older ones, and it has become increasingly important to apply the principles of building science to their construction.

The house can no longer be viewed as just a house; it must be understood as a complex and unitary system of interdependent subsystems — a concept that we call SystemVision™.

More importantly, every workshop we offer also focuses on teaching the building trades how to increase profits by applying new knowledge and skills.

What distinguishes our training services is:

Our unmatched field and lab experience
Our passion for making building better

And, our SystemVision concept — the whole-house view of building science — that we teach and ensure that our course attendees can employ

What's more, the methodologies and resources that we bring to the classroom are integrated with our other services — consulting, diagnostics, research, program development, and systems design — to maximize the benefits for course attendees.
