Training Material

Training material for a modular case study-based Clean Energy Project Analysis Course is available for use by recognised educational centres and training organisations around the globe, as well as for use by professionals and college/university students in "self-study" distance learning format. Click here to see a sample of the Colleges & Universities that use RETScreen for Training (PDF, 1.8 MB).


The PowerPoint presentation slides correspond to the Clean Energy Project Analysis: RETScreen Engineering & Cases e-Textbook. The presentation slides and e-Textbook cover each of the technologies in the RETScreen International Clean Energy Project Analysis Software, including a background of these technologies and a detailed description of the algorithms found in each of the RETScreen software models. Also included is a collection of international project case studies, with assignments, worked-out solutions and information about how the projects fared in the real world.


Each of the training modules can be presented as a separate seminar or workshop for professionals, or as a section of a college/university course. All the modules combined can be presented either as a one to two week long intensive course for professionals or as a one to two semester long course for college/university students. The module "Introduction" is a prerequisite for each of the other modules; other than this, the modules are self-contained. Instructors can easily adapt the course for their specific training activities (see Calendar).
