Lexington, Massachusetts "operation of commercial facilities and construction management can significantly reduce their costs of electricity, water and fossil fuels for completing courses in building energy efficiency, according to a new study released today by the Northeast Association of Energy effectively, resulting in Inc. The results of the evaluation of training and building operator certification (BOC) program, a curriculum based on building capacity to operators and NEEP sponsors launched in 2000 to improve the operation and maintenance practices that affect the energy efficiency of buildings trade. Since its inception, the Bank of Canada has trained over 500 students and more than 425 licenses of the construction of energy-efficient performance. To qualify, building operators should demonstrate competence in the assessment of energy consumption in buildings, equipment testing air conditioning, lighting surveys, sources of air pollution and road and electricity distribution. The evaluation found that mean average, the facilities served by the students complete the curriculum Store BOC, on an annual basis: 0.5 kwh of electricity per square meter 1.95 MMBtu (million British thermal units) of the chemical fuel petroleum jelly (petroleum) per 1000 gallons of water per 0.162 square feet square footAt energy prices the current retail, these savings translate into an estimated savings of $ 20 000 for each plant each year. According to Fouad Dagher, a chief engineer of the national grid in Northborough, Massachusetts, one of the founding sponsors of the BOC program, evaluation results confirm the program in a way that all residential and commercial construction can recognize and appreciate act . It 's one thing to say about energy efficiency and all associated benefits, "said Dagher is different from being able to demonstrate tangibly that learning about energy efficiency BOC camp construction will result in significant savings for equipment energy in its assessment .. this shows the very real benefits of optimizing the energy efficiency of a building. A number of graduates BOC lending their voices to evaluate the program, proof of program effectiveness in improving energy efficiency of their facilities operate.The BOC course opened my eyes to keep my record was ignored, and improved maintenance practices are already in place, notes Joe McPherson, maintenance and management and Pease Pease International Airport Authority Development (PDA) in Portsmouth, NH, where he was responsible for more than 58,000 square feet of space and comfort than five million square meters of the base. It has given me a new interest in the work I'm doing, and I have tried to overcome this to my team in the forefront in the minds of people when they return from the field. encourage them to delve into the details of its facilities. It develops a new relationship with your convenience. Since the BOC, I had the opportunity save money, conserve energy and improve occupant comfort of my base, Chris Mozia added, provided process control systems engineer for Bayer Corporation in Berlin, Connecticut, for example, I have found no effective filters on your computer and install other New to improve the improve the lives of evaluating HVAC units. carry out research into practice, Inc., Portland, Oregon, including telephone surveys of students BOC, qualified supervision, teachers, administrators and donors support. Among the students and supervisors, 80 percent were satisfied with the BOC program, while 90 percent said the training led to greater comfort, energy or money. Article What excites us when we listen to our students to further their savings achieved through the BOC, said Alan Mulak, director of the program. In addition to the potential weight and cost savings they have identified, have other interests that do not necessarily think of when they register for courses such as ease of construction, labor productivity and quality.Mulak BOC said the indoor air program continues to grow and take on issues related to facilities management and construction management. For example, he notes, the Bank of Canada held a workshop one day, October 2, 2002 in Chelmsford, Mass., which will focus on indoor air quality, particularly in the areas of process control mold and mildew. Meanwhile, classes continued throughout the Northeast, including a number of locations
