Program Overview

To develop a skilled workforce that manages City buildings efficiently, DCAS created the Energy Management Institute (EMI) in partnership with the City University of New York (CUNY) and its Citywide Training Center (CTC). EMI trains City staff in energy management best practices, and helps staff develop the skills needed to optimize building performance. EMI offers a broad range of trainings, certifications, and other technical support to City staff from diverse disciplines, including energy managers, building operators, engineers, and tradespeople. From Fiscal Year 2009 to 2021, DCAS has trained over 2,500 City employees through EMI.
