Author Description

The principal objectives of this task were to produce the training section of a planned apartment owners handbook and to recommend what roles the Buildings Energy Technology Transfer Program could play in training building staff. It defines the energy-related responsiblilities of property managers, operators and technical staff in the high-rise apartment sector and provides guidelines for evaluating their performance. The needs identified were matched to the existing training programs in Canada and, where gaps existed, alternatives to formal programs were developed. Also included is a critique of existing education programs.
