Free Energy Efficiency Training Program for Building Staff

To help residential buildings reduce energy costs, New York City has launched a free energy efficiency training program for maintenance staff and property managers of small to mid-sized multifamily buildings.

The NYC Building Operator Training program aims to extend the lifespan of building equipment; improve safety, compliance and emergency management protocols; reduce dependency on outside service providers, and better manage contracted services. The goal is to reduce buildings energy costs by up to 20% without requiring any major capital expenditures.

Eligibility

The training program is open to any individuals--from maintenance staff, property managers, handymen/women, supers, operators, to owners--who manage and operate small to mid-size multifamily buildings with 5 to 50 apartment units or between 5,000 to 50,000 square feet.

Areas of Training
The curriculum for the 30-hour training program covers:

Building systems, including heating, electrical, and water systems
Preventative maintenance of equipment
Best practice energy efficiency measures
Safety, compliance, and emergency management

Courses will be offered in locations throughout the city beginning early this year.
