Compliance for Manufacturing, Agricultural, and Industrial Buildings

Manufacturing, Agricultural, and Industrial (MAI) Buildings are unique in their operations and energy efficiency challenges. We require service providers helping these buildings to get specially trained on 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, contact the Energize Denver Help Desk.
