This is one of the key activities of Component 3 under the Vietnam - Denmark Energy Partnership Program for the period 2020 - 2025 (DEPP3). The training course was held to provide additional knowledge and skills to the trainers, thereby enhancing the capacity of energy auditors and energy managers to develop energy efficiency projects in the future. This aims to meet the new requirements of the Law on amendments to the Law on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy and related regulations, which will soon be issued and take effect from early 2026. 

The training program was designed and taught by experienced lecturers and experts in industrial energy efficiency from Denmark and Vietnam. The content was developed based on an assessment of practical training needs and lessons learned from implementing projects within the DEPP3 framework. Participants included faculty members from leading technical universities such as Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, Da Nang University of Technology, Electric Power University, etc. as well as reputable energy audit firms such as Enerteam, VETS, ECCBK, etc. 

Unlike foundational training courses, this course focused on methods and tools for conducting comprehensive energy audits according to international standards, thereby providing a solid foundation to proceed to pre-feasibility studies, feasibility studies, and preparing loan applications for energy efficiency projects. Alongside theory, the course integrated group exercises, open discussions, and practical experience sharing to help participants apply theoretical models in practice.

After three days of training, participants provided positive feedback on the core knowledge and skills provided by the course. Specifically, they highly appreciated the approach centered on energy services introduced through the Onion diagram and the Energy Mapping method, which offers a comprehensive overview of the energy usage status at facilities. Combining these methods is particularly useful in screening priority solutions for pre-feasibility and feasibility studies to optimize the use of enterprise resources while achieving energy efficiency and emission reduction goals.
