Has anyone attempted this credit and used either of the two resources listed (ASRHAE or other)? Aside from the 24 hours per year per person requirement, the GBOM Reference Guide is fairly vague on O&M training topics. What are some topics besides sustainable operations (too broad) and energy efficiency? Can this training overlap with IAQ Manager Training, Cooling Tower Water Managment Training, and Green Cleaning Training?

Hi John, I agree that "sustainable building operations" is rather vague. In past projects, we have interpreted this requirement as focusing the staff training with the intent that changes made as a result of Commissioning or Energy Audit activities will not be reversed during normal building operation. In particular, staff should understand and have a working knowledge of any Functional Test Protocols, implementation of energy efficiency measures and improvements, along with the commissioning process in general. To your point, this often includes IAQ Management components and cooling tower water management protocols.
