CanmetENERGY is sponsoring a series of complimentary seminars introducing the powerful capabilities of RETScreen Plus for comprehensive energy management.

Friday, February 07, 2014

The RETScreen International Clean Energy Decision Support Centre seeks to build the capacity of planners, decision-makers and industry to implement renewable energy, cogeneration and energy efficiency projects. This objective is achieved by: developing decision-making tools (i.e. RETScreen Software) that reduce the cost of pre-feasibility studies; disseminating knowledge to help people make better decisions; and by training people to better analyse the technical and financial viability of possible projects.

The RETScreen Clean Energy Project Analysis Software is a unique decision support tool developed with the contribution of numerous experts from government, industry, and academia. The software, provided free-of-charge, can be used worldwide to evaluate the energy production and savings, costs, emission reductions, financial viability and risk for various types of Renewable-energy and Energy-efficient Technologies (RETs). The software (available in multiple languages) also includes product, project, hydrology and climate databases, a detailed user manual, and a case study based college/university-level training course, including an engineering e-textbook.

RETScreen International is managed under the leadership and ongoing financial support of the CanmetENERGY research centre of Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan). RETScreen is developed by a core team at CanmetENERGY located in Varennes in collaboration with a number of other government and multilateral organisations, and with technical support from a large network of experts from industry, government and academia.

Downloading and running RETScreen Software Suite on your computer will install two separate programs, RETScreen 4 and RETScreen Plus, described below.

RETScreen 4 is an Excel-based clean energy project analysis software tool that helps decision makers quickly and inexpensively determine the technical and financial viability of potential renewable energy, energy efficiency and cogeneration projects.

RETScreen Plus is a Windows-based energy management software tool that allows project owners to easily verify the ongoing energy performance of their facilities.

If you are interested in attending one of the seminars listed below, kindly register online at the RETScreen website. Invitees are being accepted on a first-come first-served basis, and it is expected that the seminars will fill-up quickly with members of RETScreen’s 400,000-strong international user community.
