Operations & Maintenance Training

Capitalize on the potential of your current workforce—train your operations and maintenance staff to meet emerging technology demands

How it works

Providing training opportunities helps your operations and maintenance staff continually improve their skills in energy-efficient building operations. The energy industry faces ongoing, accelerated technological advancements. As new building systems and technologies are introduced and evolve, your staff needs to be adaptable and stay up to speed if they are to efficiently install, operate, and maintain the new technologies. Proper training for building operations and maintenance staff can also increase the likelihood that equipment will function efficiently over its expected life span.

Start by developing or identifying opportunities for interactive, on-the-job training programs that are tailored to the specific individual or building. Training should be focused on both energy-efficient building operations practices (preventive equipment maintenance) and specific equipment and technologies (control systems).
