Since 2005, Conor has trained companies to maximise their energy performance, minimising emissions on the path to net-zero. He is a member of the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE), Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT), Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTAI), and the Efficiency Valuation Organisation (EVO). He is also a registered energy auditor, qualified trainer and experienced facilitator. In 2018 Conor was invited to join the Global Logistics Emissions Council (GLEC) expert panel based on his work as the designer of the EEOS funded ECOfleet programme, where over 100 Irish freight operators get paid for measured fuel and CO2 savings (2014–2030). He was elected president of the Association of Energy Engineers Ireland Chapter in May 2020, and is an independent energy advisor with an MSc in Energy Management and Renewable energy from University of Ulster. He is also a Certified Energy Manager (CEM), Measurement & Verification professional (CMVP) and qualified trainer (QQI) for Climate Action, Transport, ISO50001 and Transport Manager training. An experienced facilitator, he has trained EU and Member State Officials, over 250 experienced Lead Auditors in Transport Energy Auditing across Europe, and led the publication of EN 16247-4:2014 Europe’s original transport energy audit standard.
