Building Operator Certification (BOC) is a training and certification program for facility and building and grounds managers and other staff responsible for a commercial building's operations. Energy efficiency represents an important component of BOC training.
Attendees earn certification by participating in training sessions and completing project assignments at their facilities. BOC certification provides a credential for their professional development while also offering employers a way to identify skilled operators.
