AmerenUE is contributing $300,000 to initiate in Missouri the nationally recognized Building Operator Certification Training Program. Over the next two years, AmerenUE’s support will also help 210 applicants attend 80 hours of classroom training and project work on building systems operations and maintenance to earn their Building Operator Certification (BOC).
This training provides an overview of preventive maintenance, energy efficiency principles and the fundamentals of building systems equipment and operations for commercial building operators. It focuses on energy conservation techniques and efficient lighting fundamentals. It also covers heating-ventilation-air conditioning systems and controls, indoor air quality and environmental health and safety regulations.
The Energy Center of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, with the Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, provides BOC training at a cost of $2,300―but qualified applicants who are working at organizations in AmerenUE’s service area will pay $1,150, thanks to the AmerenUE support.
