Arbejdsrapport fra Miljøstyrelsen, 4/2006 – Efteruddannelse i integreret miljø-og energiledelse

Efteruddannelse i integreret miljø-og energiledelse

Summary and conclusions

This report describes the results from the project Training of consultants and instructors within integrated environmental and energy management. The purpose was to develop a training programme to provide more knowledge for consultants and to promote the efforts regarding integrated systems.

The training programme was planned, material developed and the courses tested in the period March 2003 to December 2004. At first one structure for the programme was developed, but because of lack of interest from potential participants the structure was changed. The second programme was interesting for potential participants, and material for the training was developed, the training was tested and the material revised according to the test.

Table 1: Overwiev of target groups and expected results

Target group	Expected results
A: Energy consultants with knowledge of energy management	Knowledge of the most important aspects regarding environmental technology, including parameters, air, water, waste, cleaner technology and prioritising.
B: Environmental consultants with knowledge of environmental management	Knowledge of the most relevant aspects regarding energy technology, including key figures, energy consuming processes and energy savings.
C: Consultants with knowledge of integrated systems	Competence within specific technical areas. Added to this, issues like motivation, economics and practical training.
D: Representatives from the authorities and others with no special competence.	Briefing regarding advantages of integrated systems and the differences between management systems.

The first programme consisted of 14 short ½-day sessions, each developed for different target groups.

Table 2: Overwiev of sessions and target groups

Session	Target group	Session	Target group
Introduction to integrated systems	A, B, D	Energy technology, - energy production and process integration.	B
Motivation of employees in a company.	A,B,C	Environmental technology, - introduction	A
Expanding an environmental management system with energy management.	B,D	Important environmental impacts	A
Expanding an energy management sy-stem with environmental management.	A,D	Environmental technology, - waste and recycling	A
Energy management, - introduction and terminology.	B	Environmental technology, environmental improvements	A
Energy technology, - distillation, evaporation and melting	B	Economics for environmental and energy management consultants	A,B,C

The structure shown in table 2 presumably be relevant as a training programme in a large company or in co-operation between smaller companies, where several short sessions can fit into other activities.

Few people were interested in the short sessions and the structure of the training programme was revised. A seminar and two technical courses were planned instead.

Very relevant May be relevant

The material for the training programme for the tree arrangements included:

Description of the course, goal and scope, content and plan for each lesson
Instructions for teachers
Overhead-material and other presentation material
Written material for the participants

The tree arrangements was tested I the fourth quarter of 2004. The interest for the arrangements was good. A reasonable number participated and the participants were satisfied with the training.

After the test of the training programme the course material was revised. It can be found in this report together with course material for each of the tree arrangements. Al material is also available in electronic form.
