Running a building isn’t the job it used to be, and investing in technology isn’t enough. A well-trained facilities staff makes the difference in running building operations more efficiently, saving energy and money.
The Building Operator Certification (BOC) is a nationally recognized program focusing on energy-efficient building operations and preventive maintenance procedures. The program will train facility personnel to understand how their building systems work together, and how to bring them to their most efficient level of operation.
The KY Pollution Prevention Center and the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance have collaborated to bring the BOC program to Kentucky through funding by the KY Energy and Environment Cabinet and partnership with MACED.
The course will start in August 2019, and meet approximately 10 times between August and November from 8am-4pm in Hazard.
Topics covered will include:
- Efficient Lighting Fundamentals
- Indoor Environmental Quality
- Common Opportunities for Low-Cost Operational Improvement
- Facility Electrical Systems
- Preventive Maintenance and Troubleshooting Principles
- Advanced Electrical Diagnostics
- HVAC Troubleshooting, Maintenance, Controls and Optimization
- Motors in Facilities
- Building Commissioning
- ..And More
