Workshop Fee: $345.00 Per Person (Includes Exam Certification Fee)

WORKSHOP SCHEDULE: 8AM to 4PM, All Three Days

UPCOMING LOCATION: Phoenix, Arizona

UPCOMING WORKSHOP DATES: June 23rd, 24th and 25th, 2010

    This three-day workshop is specifically focused on Green Technology Concepts for personnel who are responsible for maintenance and repairs in residential and commercial buildings.

    Maintenance technicians employed by housing authorities can inspect residences and identify energy-wasting situations that can be corrected through cost-saving repairs and building up-grades. And, through implementation of their understanding of green buildings and proper use of test equipment to evaluate structures overall, and the building electrical and heating & air conditioning systems, they can assist in educating residents and helping them to cut their energy costs and maximize their savings on their utility bills.

    Facilities maintenance personnel in schools, offices, hospitals, casinos, and other commercial buildings can implement off-peak energy use procedures, and perform inspections and repairs to minimize energy waste and evaluate HVAC systems to ensure they are operating safely and efficiently.

    Attendees in this workshop will prepare for and accomplish a multiple-choice exam. Achieving a passing score earns a professional level technician certification in green technology.
