Building Operator Certification |
| Training for Certification |
A Message from John Shea, DSF Chief Executive
The DOE is committed to reducing the energy consumption in our schools. Lowering our fossil fuel and electricity usage not only saves the City money, but even more importantly it creates a cleaner, healthier learning environment for our children. One of the most effective ways to reduce energy consumption in our school buildings is through the proper use and timely maintenance of the mechanical and electrical systems and equipment by the building operating staff.
This is why we are offering the Level I Building Operator Certification (BOC) Course. The BOC Course will cover HVAC systems, electrical systems, energy data and its use in operations, energy audits, integrated energy-related maintenance practice and indoor air-quality over a 30-week period. All training will be conducted at the DSF building at 44-36 Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City.
We have partnered with the IUOE, CUNY, and the Department of Citywide Administrative Services to develop a successful learning opportunity. We are very pleased to offer this certification program, and look forward to working with the building based staff in all the five boroughs to manage our school buildings in a more efficient and healthy manner. |
A Message from Michael Bobker of the CUNY Building Performance Lab
The Building Operator Certification (BOC) is increasingly recognized as the leading credential in energy management and indoor environmental quality. As the New York City-authorized training provider for BOC, the CUNY Building Performance Lab has worked with the Division of School Facilities throughout the Summer of 2010 to customize a training program tailored to the needs of NYC DOE staff. While even this 90-hour program will not allow enough time to cover every topic in as much depth as we would like, I am confident that the participants will walk away from every session having learned one or two important new pieces of information and
prepared to make change happen in their schools. Ultimately, the proof is in the pudding, and we hope to see the trainee's armed and motivated to make important operational changes that will enhance the school facilities’ performance. Along with CUNY’s School of Professional Studies, we look forward to providing this training over the coming two years. |
