What does it mean to be a certified THERMOS Trainer?

THERMOS Trainers are all those energy planning experts and stakeholders that completed all steps of our training and are thus fully confident to:

  1. Apply the THERMOS software and its features for optimised energy system mapping and modelling
  2. Develop preliminary case studies and complete basic planning exercises with THERMOS
  3. Train others to apply THERMOS
  4. Integrate results of the THERMOS software in urban planning processes
  5. Identify key district energy planning and financing methods
  6. Connect the role of local heating & cooling to dynamics of heat demand/supply in Europe
  7. Outline key concepts of stakeholder engagement processes for local thermal project planning
  8. Improve local energy and climate action planning

Trainers will receive a certificate, including a supplement document stating the obtained competences, skills and knowledge.
