Training Overview
|
This three and one-half day intensive training session is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE's) Industrial Technologies Program, Massachusetts Energy Efficiency Partnership, NationalGrid, NStar Electric and Gas, Western Massachusetts Electric Company, and Cape Light Compact. AIRMaster+, developed by DOE and the Compressed Air Challenge (CAC), is a system assessment tool that allows a skilled user to model existing and future system upgrades, and evaluate the savings and effectiveness of energy efficiency measures. The updated curriculum that includes LogTool will be presented.
The AIRMaster+ Specialist Qualification training includes three days of classroom instruction, a take-home exam problem, a practical exam, and a one-half day written exam. In addition, a web-cast will be held a couple of weeks prior to the training session to assist candidates in preparing for the qualification exam. Those passing the exam will receive a certificate and will be listed on the BestPractices web site http://www.eere.energy.gov/industry/bestpractices/qualified_specialists.html.
A limited number of rooms have been reserved at the Sheraton Springfield Monarch Place Hotel the discount rate of $89/night. Please contact the Hotel directly (413-781-1010) to make your reservation and mention UMass AirMaster. |
