Intro to Building Systems
Identifying and operating the mechanical and electrical systems behind modern smart buildings.
Workforce Training
Hardware Fluency for the Next-Gen Smart City Engineer.
From a stationary BAS testbed developed for a new urban-safe energy storage solution to a mobile platform for training next-generation, hardware-fluent Smart City engineers.
WHAT WE DO
Three modules, one path into Smart City careers.
Building Automation Systems
Translating building schematics and wiring into digital control logic to command energy.
Interoperability & Grid Services
Commissioning distributed energy resources (DERs) for utility demand response programs.
GET STARTED
Welcome to your Smart City training guide.
Rising energy demand needs hardware-fluent engineers. Learn to modernize pneumatic controls and capped electrical capacity, revive BAS left brain-dead by hot and cold calls, and manage two-way power flows. Build transferable skills that future-proof your career.
STEP 01 · DIGITALIZE
Digitalize Buildings
Trainees will be introduced to pneumatic systems and how to convert them into digital-ready controls for smart buildings.
STEP 02 · UPGRADE
Upgrade Electrical Infrastructure
Trainees will be introduced to hardware wiring and schematics reading, the groundwork of hardware-fluent engineers.
STEP 03 · COMMISSION (BAS)
Cure Brain-Dead Buildings
Trainees will be introduced to BAS and its networking, to coordinate a building’s energy systems and make it an active grid participant.
STEP 04 · INTEGRATE DERMS
Modernizing Building Infrastructure
Trainees will be introduced to integrating distributed energy resources through a DERMS, to avoid safety risks and monetize the energy they command.
Upskilling the workforce for tomorrow’s grid edge.
Hands-on training that prepares you for jobs in the Smart City and grid service professions.
TRAINING USE CASE 01
Mechanical & General Contractors
Bring software fluency to the crews who already know the hardware. We train your team to program and commission smart building controls, so you can win larger contracts and diversify your revenue streams with Smart City solutions.
- No-Code BAS
- Intuitive programming for the hardware-fluent contractor
- Pipeline Value
- Unlock more revenue from your existing clients
- Big Contracts
- Take on Smart City & demand response scopes
TRAINING USE CASE 02
College Graduates
For college graduates, such as software engineers, who want to join the energy transition. Get comfortable with the physical devices your code controls and prepare for roles in grid services, demand aggregation and energy trading.
- Hardware Skills
- Work fluently with real controllers and sensors
- Real Devices
