Building Operator Certification (BOC)
What is it?
BOC is a professional development program for building operators and maintenance staff which offers a series of seven courses on energy-efficient and resource-efficient operation of buildings. Successful completion of these courses qualifies you for certification.
The goal of the program is to train individuals responsible for day-to-day operations to achieve measurable energy savings in the operation of buildings. Visit Midwest Energy Efficiency Alliance for more information on the program.
