Unlike other Data Center training offerings, the DCEP certificate is the only one issued under the US Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Management Program, in conjunction with a training program developed by Lawrence Berkley National Labs (LBNL). The DCEP training program certifies energy practitioners who are then qualified to evaluate data centers energy usage and make detailed recommendations to improve efficiency.
Since the DCEP title and certification is a federal government issued credential, it is also a valuable qualification for engineering and consulting firms when proposing data center energy efficiency assessments to, data center operators, state energy agencies, and utilities.
