Get Ahead of the Trend: States and Cities Start to Mandate Benchmarking

From DC to Denver, California to New England, cities and states are challenging industry, educational and commercial facilities managers to reduce their energy consumption. Some conservation programs are incentivized and some are mandated, but uniformly they agree that benchmarking and setting energy conservation goals is the way to go.

BOC Training Prepares Operators to Meet Benchmarking Requirements

Benchmarking has been a core tenet of BOC teachings since its inception. With courses such as BOC 102: Energy Conservation Techniques providing key training, O&M personnel can perform quantifiable evaluations of their facilities' energy usage with free software from the EPA's ENERGY STAR program.

The trend is clear – benchmarking and energy conservation will be not only common, but required, practice. Get ahead of the game with BOC training.
