What is this training about?

Building design and construction get a lot of attention, but the majority of energy that a building uses over its lifetime comes down to how the building is operated and maintained.

You’ll learn useful tools to measure building performance and straightforward strategies to reduce energy consumption and costs.

Please note: GPRO Fundamentals of Building Green is integrated into this training, so you do not need to take both classes separately.
