The Energy Efficiency for Building Operators and Maintenance Staff (EEBO) course is designed to engage, motivate, and empower building operators and managers through hands-on and highly interactive training.

In this two-day course, instructors help participants understand how energy behaves, how it is used in facilities, and how to control it through operational actions across various building systems. Physical demonstrations, calculations, worksheets, role plays, and case studies are used to demonstrate existing energy savings opportunities in lighting, pumps, fans, building envelope components, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration, building automation systems, and more.

Building operators as well as related maintenance and facility staff know their building better than anyone. Therefore, they are uniquely positioned to discover and act on energy savings opportunities that will reduce maintenance costs and overall building operating costs.

This course includes a unique feature called an Energy Hunt that takes participants out of the classroom and into a building’s daily operations to examine them closely. The knowledge gained from this exercise is then applied in the classroom where participants learn how to calculate energy savings based on the opportunities identified during the Energy Hunt.

Results from past Energy Hunts

Here are a few examples of Energy Hunt results that were unearthed through collaborative idea exchange, consultation with building operators, savings calculations, and the identification of actionable measures with participants.

Findings for an institutional building

Findings for a commercial building

Findings for a secondary school

Are you interested in conducting an Energy Hunt using your building and consumption data? Talk to us about a private EEBO session for your staff.

In this course, you will learn to

Determine how building operations impact energy consumption and how to identify energy waste.
Determine how to improve energy efficiency through building maintenance and operations.
Apply expertise on how to conduct simple energy savings calculations and explain savings to others.
Apply building control strategies used to reduce energy consumption and costs.
Optimize HVAC systems.
Reduce energy consumption through equipment selections and replacements.

This course is ideal for

Building/facility operators and supervisors
Building/asset managers
Energy managers
Service providers in the commercial building industry
Building maintenance staff
Technologists and specialists (lighting, HVAC, others)

Note: as an added value to CIET's Energy Efficiency for Building Operators & Maintenance Staff course, a fully functional FREE 60-day trial subscription to the RETScreen® software will be made available (value of $125)
