Whether you’re a seasoned property manager or new to the field, this hands-on workshop will give you a practical, advanced understanding of the systems that drive your building. You’ll gain a fresh outlook and the practical skills you need to cut energy costs, stay compliant, reduce tenant complaints, and prevent small issues from becoming big ones. Over the course of the day, you’ll learn how to manage HVAC, water, and energy systems and how to speak with service providers and contractors as a true expert. Best of all, you’ll walk away with a clear action plan, stronger operational know-how, and the conviction to run your properties more efficiently and expertly than ever before.
