• Computer Application - Understanding the prospects and functioning of circuit boards, processing units, circuits, electrical devices, computer equipment, plus applications and programming.
• Apprehension in Physics — Insight in forecasting of basic phenomenon, laws, their cross - functional and applications for interpreting fluid, substance, and airborne mechanics, and structural, electronic, atomic, and micro structures and processes.

• Technological Supervision — Entails determining metrics or indices of program success as well as the steps required to enhance or improve effectiveness in relation to the system's objectives.
• Task Management — Solving entails recognizing specific challenges and evaluating relevant knowledge in order to create, analyse, and execute approaches.
• Strategic Thinking and Analysis — Weighing the relative risks and advantages of future decisions in order to prioritise the right one.
• Rational Analysis — Involves using intuition and analysis to evaluate the positives and disadvantages of different explanations, assumptions, or responses to problems.
• Surveillance — Keeping track of and reviewing your own, other people's, or organizations' results to make changes or take disciplinary measures.

Once you procure the required qualifications for becoming an Energy Auditor, a myriad of options are open to you. There are multiple projects you can undertake throughout this line of work, and there are many other fields you can branch out to as well.

• Energy Analyst: The energy analyst is a consultant with a deep knowledge of the energy sector is responsible for finding, collecting, and reviewing energy data knowledgeably and consistently to provide knowledge and insight to their organization and customers. The job requirements involve data modeling and keeping up to date with related problems and developments in the power sector.
• Refrigeration Engineer: Entails the preparation, construction, and business development of industrial cooling systems. Refrigeration engineers are required to model, supervise installation, and manually configure sophisticated cooling devices for household and business use, such as cafeteria units, cooled hospital equipment, and enclosed trucks and vehicles.
• Heating and Ventilation Systems Engineer: Heating and ventilation system guarantees the establishments have a comfortable atmosphere in which to live and function. To function properly, all buildings (including stores, offices, warehouses, and research labs) have complex, concise heat recovery ventilation systems. This may take a variety of types, such as a set of air circulation grilles on traditional classrooms or a vast array of cables running through production line walls and floors.
• Smart Grid Engineers: Smart grid engineers concentrate solely on enhancing grid technology. Smart grids are meant to improve electricity delivery by enabling power grids to work quite effectively. Smart grids often include sustainable power sources because when fuel from photovoltaic cells and wind energy is accessible, the grid can utilize that resource. When alternative resources are inadequate to satisfy demand, the grid turns to other outlets, such as lignite power.
• Solar Engineers: Solar engineers are responsible for the planning, construction, and execution of solar power generation. They may be in charge of everything from large metropolitan projects to installing rooftops in residential homes. The engineer usually starts with a customer appointment, site evaluation, and monetary estimation to help him or her acknowledge the overview of the proposal. The engineer then produces an acceptable plan that takes into consideration all applicable variables.
