The City of Seattle and the Smart Buildings Center are offering two free Energy Benchmarking 101 trainings for participants that are new to the energy benchmarking process.

The workshop is an opportunity for owners and property managers to learn the basics of how to benchmark a building from start to finish. This training is also beneficial for those less familiar with benchmarking as it will give participants grounding in the benchmarking process, i.e. the multiple steps, the common pitfalls, as well as ways to confirm compliance and receive assistance via the help desk.

The Smart Buildings Center now offers live instructional webinars throughout the year to keep you informed on the dynamic field of facilities management. Learn practical solutions to deal with the energy hogs in your building from industry experts. The 2019 webinars focus on occupational health and safety practices in buildings, utilize energy management information systems to identify and communicate energy savings opportunities, as well as explore advancements in HVAC and lighting.
