ADENE to hold Portugal's first Certified Energy Manager course, with international exam

ADENE, the national energy agency, will run the official Certified Energy Manager course in Portugal for the first time, together with the Association of Energy Engineers' Portuguese chapter. Sessions take place in hybrid format at the ADENE Academy in Lisbon on 26-28 October and 10-11 November, with the certification exam on 25 November. Topics range from energy audits and building automation to decarbonisation, emissions accounting, renewables and performance contracts. The programme dates from 1981 and has trained over 40,000 professionals in more than 100 countries. The launch comes as EU rules tighten: firms using over 85 terajoules a year need a certified energy management system by October 2027.
