Training and outreach in Energy Efficiency and Sustainability is one of the most important areas for SinCeO2 Consultoría Energética. Our collaboration with Spain’s most prestigious universities and business schools has a twofold aim: to bring the academic and business worlds closer together, and to share our experience and knowledge of energy and environmental savings.

Courses and seminars delivered by SinCeO2, both in person and e-learning, meet the requirements to be subsidised through the Spanish State Foundation for Employment Training.

Format

Course formats

We take part in, develop and deliver training courses in our areas of activity for institutions and companies, in person across Spain.

In person / In-company

We design and deliver courses on energy management, efficiency and sustainability tailored to each organisation’s needs, with a practical approach that makes the theory easier to learn and grasp.

E-learning

SinCeO2 has an online learning platform available 24 hours a day. Theory classes combined with case studies; tutors help, answer questions, encourage debate and assess. The course is organised into modules with a final assignment.

Micro-courses

We build and deliver highly specific, specialised courses, both e-learning and in person, short in duration but involving a deep dive into the subject.

Our courses

Courses to promote energy efficiency

Our offering is rounded out by taking part in conferences and seminars, and teaching on master’s programmes and outreach courses.

Decarbonisation Plans course

Provides the theoretical and practical knowledge needed for an overall view of what it takes to design strategies allowing both public and private organisations to draw up a decarbonisation plan and reorient their energy model.

Energy efficiency specialist

Buildings, industry and transport run complex, energy-intensive facilities and processes. This course covers how energy studies are carried out in practice, setting out the methodology, objectives, approaches and technical calculations.

Energy management systems, ISO 50001

Implementing a management system under ISO 50001 brings multiple economic and managerial benefits. Its rollout and upkeep involve everyone, from senior management to the workforce.

CO₂ emissions and carbon footprint management

The carbon market emerged as a complement to the Kyoto commitment. Calculating the carbon footprint is the starting point for reducing and/or offsetting the greenhouse gas emissions of any activity, organisation, service or product.

Efficient lighting

In many service-sector facilities, lighting accounts for a high share of electricity use. The course assesses lighting systems and technologies and how to optimise an installation to achieve energy and cost savings.

Efficient HVAC

Heating and cooling account for between 50% and 70% of consumption in many service-sector facilities. The course equips students to assess the associated systems and technologies and optimise an installation.

Implementing, maintaining and improving an EnMS. ISO 50004

ISO 50004 sets out the guidelines for implementing, maintaining and continually improving an energy management system based on ISO 50001.

Energy review reports. ISO 50002

ISO 50002 sets out the steps for carrying out a quality energy review meeting the criteria required by ISO 50001.

Energy baselines and indicators. ISO 50006

ISO 50006 provides the basis for establishing energy baselines and energy performance indicators suited to the organisation.

Measurement and Verification Plans (IPMVP). ISO 50015

ISO 50015 helps design a savings measurement and verification plan suited to your organisation, following EVO’s IPMVP methodology.

Tariff optimisation

Covers every electricity tariff — regulated and open market — their billing parameters, and how to calculate the optimal contracted capacity to minimise cost.

Electricity market

Presents the components of the electricity price, the regulated and market portions, how the energy auction works and how it affects indexed contracts and the PVPC regulated tariff.

Heat recovery basics

Heat transfer and thermodynamics fundamentals for calculating the potential savings of heat recovery systems where energy losses occur.

HVAC basics

Core knowledge of heating and cooling systems: combustion equipment and heat pumps, distribution, terminal units, efficiencies and operating costs.

Good energy and environmental practice

Informs staff about the company’s environmental and energy impact and the part each employee plays in reducing that impact and its costs through good practice.

Outreach campaigns

Outreach: energy saving and efficiency

Public administrations rely on SinCeO2 to communicate their energy management policies and raise public awareness of urgent saving and efficiency measures. Many companies have brought us in to run environmental and energy awareness sessions and campaigns for their staff.

Awareness

Producing leaflets and brochures on energy saving and efficiency guidance, awareness sessions and seminars, and good-practice guides for energy and the environment in the workplace across different sectors.

Communication

Designing and producing internal communications by email or circular to report on the measures taken, plus information boards, charts, leaflets and brochures on the studies and their results.
