Rob: Good question. I work for the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute, which offers online coursework on GHG accounting. Training on this subject matter has primarily been the domain of NGOs, for-profit standards training enterprises, and occasionally extension/professional schools. There have been offerings in graduate catalogues, but these are generally one-off or sporadically offered courses led (primarily in-person) by practitioners as adjunct faculty.
Based on your description, the Basics of Organizational Greenhouse Gas Accounting, which is based on ISO 14064-1 and the GHG Protocol, may be of particular relevance: http://ghginstitute.org/education2/courses2/basics-of-organizational-ghg-accounting/ Our full course catalogue is here: http://ghginstitute.org/education2/courses2/ There are also professional graduate degrees on the broader topic of "carbon management," offered at Columbia and the University of Edinburgh among others, but it sounds like a full degree is more of a commitment than is of interest to your student. As for "energy demand/usage management" -- this is a much larger and more mature field. I suspect others may be better equipped to comment on the best offerings there. I hope this is helpful.
