The presentation slides with instructor's voice and notes for the introductory module provide a status of clean energy technologies, markets and applications, and present an introduction to clean energy project analysis, including estimating the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reductions and financial performance of potential projects. The other modules cover each of the technologies in the RETScreen Software, including reviewing the basics of these technologies, illustrating key considerations for project analysis and introducing the RETScreen model for each technology.

For the technology modules, the student can also use the software, databases and online manual to complete a series of case study assignments. Solutions to the assignments are also provided as are descriptions of the projects that were actually built. In addition, an e-Textbook provides background reading for each of these training modules and it provides a detailed description of the algorithms found in the RETScreen computer models.
