“Background of the project”


C K E


AEMAS

• Y2004/2005

European commission and ASEAN Energy Facility funded the

design and feasibility study for the establishment of ASEAN

Energy Manager Accreditation Scheme (AEMAS)

The project was completed in May 2005 and the outcomes was

approved during the ASEAN Meeting of Energy Ministers

(AMEM) in Phnom Penh in June 2005


C K E


Outcomes of AEMAS• The project outcomes were

1. Recommended Code of Practice for Energy Manager

2. Recommended Accreditation Procedures for Energy

Managers (CEM-PEM-EEM)

3. Recommended Certification Procedures for

Organization (Entry-Showcase Level)

4. Recommended Training Course Outline

5. Recommended Outline of the Energy Management

Simulation Test (EMST)

6. Implementation Strategy towards the Establishment of an

ASEAN Energy Manager Accreditation Scheme

7. 5-Years Budgetary Estimate for the operation of AEMAS

Part II : Practical test

The practical test requires candidates to work through the EnergyManagement Simulation Test (EMST):

• EMST designed to simulate energy management in a virtualorganization

• Candidates act as Energy Manager in the virtual organization

• Candidates will have to apply their knowledge andunderstanding of sustainable energy management and workthrough EMST to achieve certain points, as required by the test


C K E


Structure of EMST

• EMST test consists of 9 modules.

• Maximum allowed time is 3 hours.

• Test modules are grouped into 4 groups.

• Modules in the same group are interconnected.

• There are multiple scenarios for the test versions.
