MEEA's Building Operator Certification Training Program begins on Sept 12, 2013
Tuesday, September 3, 2013 at 04:20PMInvesting in education of facility staff, through a program like Building Operator Certification (BOC®), reduces energy costs while increasing occupant comfort. BOC covers a variety of building management technologies, but the emphasis is to recognize practical, no-cost/low-cost solutions, working with existing building systems, to improve energy performance. BOC also trains O&M staff to develop a preventive maintenance program that improves the building environment and prolongs equipment life. Class topics include EE Operation of Building HVAC systems, Energy Benchmarking, Efficient Lighting Fundamentals, Common Opportunities for Low-Cost Improvements and more. The BOC training series consists of eight training days over the course of four months. Each class is from 8am-4pm.
The next training series in the Chicago area begins on September 12th in downtown Chicago. Click here to view the schedule and to register. Students that successfully earn the BOC certification may be eligible for a $500 rebate available through a grant from the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Illinois Energy Office.
