Manufacturing, Agricultural, and Industrial (MAI) Buildings are unique in their operations and energy efficiency challenges. We therefore require service providers helping these buildings meet their Building Performance Requirements to be specially trained on Energize Denver's MAI requirements.
In order to pursue the Prescriptive Pathway, MAI building owners must work with an energy service provider who has taken Denver's MAI Energy Auditor Training and has passed the comprehension test at the end.
In order to be included in the list of trained vendors, you must either attend an in-person training or watch the MAI Alternate Compliance Option Training webinar.
See the slides from the presentation(PDF, 4MB)
Afterwards, you will have to take and pass the comprehension quiz.
Once we verify that you passed the comprehension quiz, we will list you on our Directory of Trained Service Providers.
For information on in-person trainings, please reach out to CASR’s Industrial Administrator
These videos do not have comprehension quizzes, nor do they help you get listed in any of our service provider directories. However, these training videos will give you additional information about the Energize Denver Building Performance Program that will let you do better by your customers.
