This course teaches building operators/managers how to assess buildings’ energy needs, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement low-cost measures to reduce overall energy consumption and CO₂ emissions using a building automation system (BAS). This "hands-on" course utilizes the best elements of classroom and field training to deliver engaging, virtual learning activities.

• Participants learn the initial steps involved in re-tuning™ a building controlled by a BAS.
• Participants are actively involved in scenarios that mimic activities and challenges they would find in the workplace.
• Trend graphs are utilized from the BAS to help understand how the data can aid in identifying potential opportunities for improvement.

This course teaches building operators/managers ways to reduce operating costs, provide energy savings, and reduce CO₂ emissions in buildings that do not have a BAS. The measures identified in this course are more prescriptive in nature, and the buildings are primarily served by packaged equipment.

• Participants learn the initial steps involved in re-tuning™ a building that does not have a BAS.
• Participants engage in interactive exercises to practice the re-tuning process by identifying opportunities for energy improvement.

The FEMP Re-tuning webinar conducted on April 4, 2019, announced the launch of FEMP’s Re-tuning Challenge and provided an overview of the re-tuning process.
