The Energy Management Technology Degree Program is a two-year Associate of Applied Science Degree and was built in partnership with Chevron Energy Solutions. The program establishes a basic foundation of physics, chemistry, mathematics, electrical and mechanical systems, energy systems and renewable/ sustainable energy systems. The program's renewable and sustainable energy focus trains graduates on integrating Solar, Wind, and other energy technologies and concepts into new and existing systems. Graduates of the program will be prepared for immediate employment as facility energy auditors, renewable energy system integrators for homes and businesses, energy resource conservation managers for business, industry, local and state government, and other positions in the energy field.

Discussions with Chevron Energy Solutions and Colorado State Building Program personnel indicate a growing need for individuals skilled in conducting energy audits and implementing audit recommendations, as well as managing facilities for optimal energy use. The U.S. Department of Labor- Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that demand should be strong for facility managers because businesses increasingly are realizing the importance of maintaining, securing, and efficiently operating their facilities. In addition, a renewed state/national emphasis on energy efficiency & meeting LEED benchmarks for new and existing facilities indicates a strong future for individuals seeking employment in the field of energy and facilities management.
