The 5-day training course, held from March 16 to 20, 2026, welcomed over 20 participants who are certified energy auditors licensed by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The instructors included experts from leading technical universities such as Electric Power University, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, etc., who have been exposed to and trained on tools introduced by the DEPP3 Program to conduct energy audits in compliance with international standards.

Additionally, Danish experts participated directly in the course to provide support, feedback, and practical examples of energy efficiency project development in Vietnam and globally.

The program aimed to enhance the professional capacity of energy auditors to meet practical requirements when implementing the provisions of the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy and related regulations.

In his opening remarks, Mr. Jorgen Hvid, Long-term Advisor for the DEPP3 Program, said that the Program has supported the promotion of energy efficiency over the years, with a focus on improving the quality of energy auditing activities.

“Auditing activities not only aim to identify energy-saving opportunities but also need to be developed towards systematic analysis and building specific projects to provide businesses with a basis for investment decisions,” Mr. Jorgen Hvid stated.

Dr. Do Huu Che, Director of the Center for Communications, Corporate Relations and Training on Economical and Efficient Use of Energy (Electric Power University), noted the training course helps trainees access new methods to perform energy audits according to international standards, complementing existing practices. 

During the 5-day training, trainees were updated with knowledge and exchanged practical experiences to improve the efficiency of energy auditing activities.

Some new methods and tools introduced in the training course include: energy demand analysis using the onion diagram; establishing energy diagrams; developing energy efficiency projects according to the process from audit - pre-feasibility study - feasibility study, etc.

During the learning process, trainees were guided to solve problems arising in the actual auditing process, discuss in groups, and practice presenting project ideas.

Ms. Vu Tuyet Chi, a lecturer at Electric Power University, shared: “The course provided valuable knowledge and highly applicable tools for practical energy auditing activities at enterprises as well as in teaching.”

Mr. Bui Minh Hien, Head of the Science, Technology and Innovation Division, Center for Innovation and Industrial Promotion (Agency for Innovation, Green Transition and Industry Promotion, MOIT) shared that access to new tools and methods, especially energy diagrams, would greatly benefit his future work. “The course has shown a new approach in evaluating and implementing energy auditing activities for facilities,” Mr. Hien said.

A trainee from Da Nang, Mr. Hoang Quy Duong - Vinacontrol Group Corporation, shared that what impressed him most in the course, besides knowledge, was “the enthusiasm of both Vietnamese instructors and Danish experts in teaching and facilitating discussions.”

Many trainees also suggested organizing more similar courses to disseminate and expand the use of new methods and tools. Many participants suggested organizing more similar courses to disseminate and expand the use of new methods and tools. They also recommended including practical work with businesses during the course to help trainees better understand how to apply the tools effectively. 

At the end of the training course, trainees who complete the program will be granted a certificate of completion. This activity is expected to contribute to strengthening the capacity of the energy auditors and support the effective implementation of energy auditing activities in the coming time.
