The Federal Buildings Initiative (FBI)

Training and Workshops

Maintain and build on the energy savings that your organization has realized.

Experience shows that updating technological and mechanical components such as lighting and control systems will reduce energy costs. We'll show you how positive attitudes and the right actions by on-site staff can boost total savings an additional 10 percent.

Knowledge and information are essential if employees are to help you squeeze maximum savings from your organization's energy plan.

The FBI offers a flexible approach to employee training to reflect the different needs of our clients. We can help you:

• identify the specific training needs of your facility operating staff
• create customized training plans

The FBI works closely with Seneca College of North York, Ontario, and a network of community colleges across Canada to ensure your employees will have an opportunity to acquire in-depth skills and earn college accreditation from Seneca College's award-winning Building Environmental Systems program.

To promote the deployment of renewable energy systems in federal government facilities, the FBI with the Renewable Energy Deployment Initiative (REDI) and the CANMET Energy Diversification Research Laboratory (CEDRL) have initiated a set of actions. One of them is the CEDRL's Renewable Energy Training Workshop, which is delivered across Canada. For registration information, contact CEDRL.

The FBI has collaborated in the development of a series of one-day workshops to address the need for reliable how-to information on energy efficiency in applied settings.

Dollars to $ense: The Energy Master Plan workshop is tailored to provide facility managers and other decision-makers with practical advice on the design and implementation of successful energy-saving plans.

Dollars to $ense: The Spot Energy Savings Opportunities workshop on electrical and thermal efficiency presents field-tested advice you can count on to help you identify and maximize potential savings.

Dollars to $ense: The Energy Monitoring and Tracking workshop introduces powerful energy auditing techniques for the collection and evaluation of reliable energy use data.
