Facility Manager

In this practical training we'll learn how Building Automation Systems (BAS) and related smart building technologies work, how they can improve operating efficiency, how to use them to meet your energy and decarbonization goals, and how they can help you build a more efficient team to operate your buildings. This training consists of sixteen hours of presentations, discussions, and hands-on activities spread over four consecutive weeks on Friday mornings. In these condensed but informative sessions you'll explore BAS scope and capabilities, how to implement energy efficiency strategies and opportunities, and how to use data to analyze and improve building performance.
