Dedika is a platform for learning by doing: whether it's creating a business proposal, becoming a manicurist, or using a new tool, for example. Whatever your goal, the best content on the subject already exists. But it's often in another language, expensive, scattered around, lacking practical activities, or part of a course that's too long for a busy routine. That's why Dedika has its own method: we find this material wherever it is, organise what makes sense for your goal, review it with the help of experts who are available to answer questions, and create practical exercises so you can learn by doing. You are the most important part of your journey and no one knows it better than you: choose the content and course length, decide whether to learn online or offline, and pick your preferred format. It could be video, text, audio, or a summary. Your way, only with what makes sense for you. Here, every moment of dedication counts for more and you reach what matters faster.

Our courses include a summary at the end of each chapter, from which you can download a PDF and print it.

Lesson 2 • Energy Management Systems Overview
Introduces the plan-do-check-act framework used in energy management systems. Shows how auditing feeds continuous improvement cycles within an organisation.
Lesson 3 • Professional Ethics and Audit Standards
Covers auditor impartiality, confidentiality, and adherence to recognised audit standards. Establishes the professional conduct framework that governs all fieldwork and reporting.
Lesson 4 • Types of Energy Audits
Distinguishes walkthrough, preliminary, and detailed audit levels by depth and cost. Enables auditors to recommend the appropriate audit type for a given client situation.
Lesson 5 • Purpose and Scope of Energy Audits
Defines why audits are conducted and what they are expected to deliver. Connects audit objectives to organisational energy goals and regulatory compliance drivers.

Chapter 2See details

Energy Data Collection and Measurement

Lesson 1 • Data Quality and Validation
Addresses gap-filling, outlier detection, and cross-checking of collected data. Ensures the dataset is accurate and defensible before analysis begins.
Lesson 2 • Utility Bill Analysis
Teaches extraction of consumption, demand, and cost data from utility invoices. Identifies billing anomalies and rate structure components that affect energy cost calculations.
Lesson 3 • Energy Baseline Establishment
Explains how to normalise historical consumption data against weather and production variables. A validated baseline is the reference point for measuring all future savings.
Lesson 4 • Metering and Monitoring Equipment
Introduces portable and permanent meters used to measure electricity, gas, heat, and flow. Connects instrument selection to measurement accuracy requirements for each audit level.
Lesson 5 • On-Site Data Collection Procedures
Covers systematic walkthrough protocols, equipment nameplates, and operational schedules. Ensures complete and consistent data capture across all facility systems.

Chapter 3See details

Building Envelope and HVAC Systems

Lesson 1 • HVAC Controls and Distribution
Evaluates thermostats, building automation systems, ductwork, and piping for control and distribution losses. Connects control strategies to measurable reductions in HVAC energy use.
Lesson 2 • HVAC Equipment Evaluation
Covers efficiency ratings, operating conditions, and maintenance status of heating and cooling equipment. Identifies underperforming units and oversized or undersized systems.
Lesson 3 • Heating and Cooling Load Calculations
Introduces manual and software-based methods for calculating peak and annual loads. Accurate load calculations underpin equipment sizing and energy savings estimates.
Lesson 4 • Building Envelope Assessment
Teaches inspection of insulation, windows, doors, and air barriers for thermal deficiencies. Links envelope performance to heating and cooling load calculations.
Lesson 5 • Heat Transfer Principles
Covers conduction, convection, and radiation as they apply to building assemblies. Provides the thermal physics foundation needed to evaluate envelope and HVAC performance.

Chapter 4See details

Lighting and Electrical Systems

Lesson 1 • Power Quality and Demand Management
Covers power factor, harmonics, and peak demand as cost and efficiency drivers. Connects power quality corrections to measurable reductions in utility charges.
Lesson 2 • Electrical Distribution Assessment
Evaluates transformers, switchgear, and wiring for losses and capacity issues. Identifies distribution inefficiencies that increase energy costs beyond end-use consumption.
Lesson 3 • Lighting Fundamentals
Covers luminous flux, illuminance, efficacy, and colour rendering as auditing metrics. Establishes the photometric vocabulary needed to assess lighting system performance.
Lesson 4 • Lighting Upgrade Opportunities
Identifies LED retrofits, delamping, and daylighting integration as primary savings measures. Provides a framework for comparing upgrade options by payback and energy reduction.
Lesson 5 • Lighting System Audit Techniques
Teaches light level measurement, fixture inventory, and operating hour estimation. Connects measured data to energy consumption calculations for each lighting zone.

Chapter 5See details

Industrial and Process Energy Systems

Lesson 1 • Compressed Air Systems
Evaluates compressor efficiency, system pressure, leakage, and end-use appropriateness. Compressed air is among the most energy-intensive utilities in manufacturing environments.
Lesson 2 • Steam and Hot Water Systems
Assesses boiler efficiency, steam traps, condensate return, and distribution losses. Identifies heat recovery and insulation opportunities that reduce fuel consumption significantly.
Lesson 3 • Process Heating and Cooling
Evaluates furnaces, ovens, dryers, and refrigeration systems for thermal efficiency. Connects process temperature profiles to heat recovery and waste heat utilisation opportunities.
Lesson 4 • Pumping and Fan Systems
Covers affinity laws, system curve analysis, and control strategies for pumps and fans. Demonstrates how modest speed reductions yield large energy savings through cubic power relationships.
