Energy Management Institute
The Division of Energy Management remains committed to respond to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and protect the health of the Energy Management Institute's students, instructors, and staff. In light of this, we have worked to move ongoing courses into a remote learning and instruction format for the remainder of the spring semester.
If you have questions or concerns about an ongoing or upcoming course, please reach out to EMItraining@sps.cuny.edu.
Program Overview
To develop a skilled workforce that manages City buildings efficiently, DEM created the Energy Management Institute (“EMI”) in partnership with the City University of New York (“CUNY”) and DCAS’s Citywide Training Center (“CTC”). EMI trains City staff in the forefront of energy management best practices, and helps them develop the skills necessary to optimize building performance. EMI offers a broad range of trainings, certifications, and other technical support to City staff, including energy managers, building operators, engineers, and tradespeople.
Outcomes
From Fiscal Year 2009 to 2019, DEM has trained over 2,200 City employees through EMI.
How to Participate
City staff interested in enrolling in the Building Operator Certification – Level 1 course are required to take a pre-registration assessment to confirm their math and Excel skills. Other course prerequisites are detailed in the course descriptions.
