Data Center Certified Energy Practitioner Program

Through Save Energy Now, DOE is partnering with industry to develop a Data Center Certified Energy Practitioner (DC-CEP) Program to accelerate energy savings in the dynamic and energy-intensive marketplace of data centers.

The DC-CEP Program is being defined, designed, and implemented by working closely with industry stakeholders. DOE has set a goal to have at least 200 practitioners certified by 2011.

DC-CEPs will be qualified to identify and evaluate energy efficiency opportunities in data centers using DOE's DC Pro suite of software tools. Significant knowledge, training, and skills are required to perform accurate energy assessments in data centers. DC-CEPs must pass minimum qualifications and a certification exam demonstrating proficiency in the use of the tools, and will be trained on conducting data center energy assessments using the DC Pro assessment process.

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