First Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) Training Program, for Middle East & India.

Opportunity to receive Data Center training, in Energy Efficiency and be Certified as DCEP.

DCEP is an Official designation issued by Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory / U.S. Department of Energy. https://datacenters.lbl.gov/dcep

Data centers are energy-intensive and opportunities exist to reduce energy use, but significant knowledge, training, and skills are required to perform accurate data center energy assessments. In order to accelerate energy savings, the data center industry and the US Department of Energy (DOE) partnered to develop the Data Center Energy Practitioner (DCEP) Program. The DCEP training program certifies energy practitioners qualified to evaluate the energy status and efficiency opportunities in data centers.

The original DCEP course curriculum (Generalist and HVAC Specialist) is continuously updated in collaboration with the industry to reinforce proven best practices as well as introduce new tools and techniques in key areas such as IT equipment, air management, cooling systems, and electrical systems. A brand new course module was added in 2019 (IT Specialist).

DCEPs will:

• Be qualified to identify and evaluate energy efficiency opportunities in data centers;
• Demonstrate proficiency in the use of the Data Center Profiler (DC Pro) and select Assessment Tools
• Address energy opportunities in electrical systems, air management, HVAC, and IT equipment;
• Receive training on conducting data center assessments;
• Be required to pass one, two, or three exams (depending on course selection).

Property management companies, engineering consulting firms, service companies, data center operators, state energy agencies, and utilities will benefit from the expertise provided by DCEPs.
