GPRO Operations and Maintenance (O+M) Training  

GPRO O+M training for building operations and maintenance equips facility and custodial teams with practical, actionable, and affordable strategies for improving energy efficiency, reducing water use, and improving indoor air quality. This two-day course will help facility teams identify ways to reduce energy and water demand and cut utility costs as well as ways to create healthier indoor air quality by addressing cleaning products, chemical use, pest management, ventilation and air filtration, and more. Content includes information that facility members of any building type will find useful, as well as customized information especially relevant to preK-12 school teams. 

This course – which focuses on preventive maintenance and data-driven decision-making – not only offers best practices developed by green building and facility experts in the field but also offers an opportunity to share lessons and questions with peers. Many past participants have maintained relationships with their classmates. 

This GPRO training was developed by the Urban Green Council and is offered in Western Pennsylvania by Green Building Alliance, whose staff has been teaching the class every year since 2016.
