Description: This training is an update to the popular Commercial Real Estate Best Practices training that has been offered by ENERGY STAR since 2004, containing new, improved content developed with input from leading ENERGY STAR partners. The training covers proven strategies for improving the energy performance of office buildings, beginning with best practices in operations and maintenance (O&M) and continuing on to cost-effective changes to equipment and systems. Participants will learn to recognize the wide variety of energy-efficiency opportunities that are available at their properties, including procedures to better manage the energy consumption associated with lighting, plug loads, the building envelope, and HVAC systems and controls. Estimated energy savings, financial paybacks, and examples are discussed throughout the training. It is strongly recommended that participants have an understanding of ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager and have benchmarked their buildings’ energy performance in Portfolio Manager prior to attending; however, all are welcome. 

Who should attend: 

• Office building owners 
• Property managers 
• Building engineers
