Building Operator Training

The Building Operator Training program provides financial incentives to reduce the registration costs of trainings for operators of public and non-profit buildings in Michigan. Effective building operation is essential for a building to perform optimally, and training building operators gives staff the needed skills to reduce energy use through operational and equipment changes. Any organization is eligible to apply. Applicants must agree to provide monthly progress updates by phone with the program manager as needed, report impacts addressing potential energy and cost savings, provide documentation of project expenditures (i.e., invoices and payments), submit payment requests within 30 days of completing the project/activity, and complete a one-year follow-up survey on the continued impacts of the implemented project/activity.
