The 5-Day Energy Manager Training Course conducted by IEM Training Academy Sdn Bhd (formerly IEM Training Centre Sdn Bhd) is designed to prepare participants for registration as a Registered Energy Manager (REM) with the Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga). The legal content has evolved from the earlier REEM/EMEER 2008 framework to the current EECA 2024 framework. (IEM TRAINING ACADEMY SDN BHD)
Below are the major Malaysian Acts, Regulations, Standards and Guidelines typically covered.
| Legislation / Standard | Purpose | Importance for Energy Manager |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act 2024 (EECA 2024) | Main legislation governing energy efficiency | Primary Act governing REM duties and designated installations. (Suruhanjaya Tenaga) |
| Energy Efficiency and Conservation Regulations | Regulations made under EECA | Registration of REMs, obligations, reporting and compliance. (Suruhanjaya Tenaga) |
| Energy Commission Act 2001 (Act 610) | Establishes Suruhanjaya Tenaga | Powers and enforcement of the Energy Commission. (Suruhanjaya Tenaga) |
