What is the Building Science Academy?

BSA is a series of in-person or on-demand training sessions that present various building science concepts and topics in bite-sized, easy-to-digest sessions. Increasing your people’s energy IQ is one of the most cost-effective ways to attack high energy consumption. Industry studies demonstrate that regular employee training reliably reduces energy consumption in most sites by 5-10%.
Enhance your teams’ ability to operate your portfolio by taking their building science knowledge to the next level.
BSA for Facility Staff

Buildings are complex, and filled with thousands of devices that must work together if a site is going to operate cleanly, efficiently, and without problems. The more your operators understand about the things that go on behind the walls and above the ceilings, the more effective they will be. BSA turns any style of site personnel into an informed, tech-savvy operator.
BSA for Energy Managers
Most energy management certifications focus on policy and general site operations. This leads to sub-optimal goal-setting and project management when attacking energy consumption. BSA adds the critical ingredient of hard science and engineering to the aresenal of skills that contribute to the energy manager’s success.

BSA for Energy Auditors

Energy audits are big undertakings. Software and other tools abound to make the job easier and faster. But without real understanding of how sites use energy and the machines that consume it, fledgling auditors will forever be at the mercy of these tools. As audits become a mandatory part of building operations, more and more inexperienced auditors are entering the field. BSA provided the extra knowledge and techincal education necessary for producing the best energy audits in the industry.
BSA for Everyone
Energy efficiency, sustainability, and envroinmental stewardship are everyone’s responsbility. Whether it’s the security guard at their station, the custodian keeping the site clean, or the hundreds of other people working in your space, BSA courses can turn each person in your facility into a skilled detective. Hidden policy issues, unseen waste, and mysterious maintenance problems will have nowhere to hide when your entire staff knows what to look for and what to do about it.
