Coaching
CUNY BPL partners with DCAS and CUNY SPS EMI to offer coaching programs developed to help City facility personnel carry out systems optimization projects. Coaches are trained operations and maintenance experts who assist operators in analyzing their building data, implement changes, and assess results.
Building Re-tuning Coaching (BRTC)
Ready to take your facility to the next level of energy performance? The Building Re-Tuning Training and Coaching (BRTC) is a nine (9) session course that spans two lecture-based trainings and seven hands-on coaching sessions. NYC DCAS’ Building optimization staff work directly with students to identify potential efficiency improvements using real-time energy data and building operations data, typically from a building automation system (BAS). Successful retuning implementation takes advantage of the real-time metering that DEM has installed at various agency facilities, as well as the Building Re-tuning (BRT) protocol developed by Pacific Northwest National Lab.
BRTC is open to building operators, chief engineers, agency energy personnel, and anyone else who works closely with the day-to-day operation of a City-building where the following is strongly encouraged: (1) Have successfully completed BOC-1; (2) Are assigned to and/or are responsible for at least one agency building where major equipment can be controlled; and (3) Can access trend logging functions in a BAS/BMS throughout the duration of the course.
