Why This Workshop Exists

Closing the Skills Gap in Smart Buildings

The Reality

Commercial buildings, hospitals, hotels, and government facilities are adopting Building Management Systems (BMS), smart HVAC, IoT sensors, and automated energy platforms at an accelerating pace. This is not a future trend — it is happening now.

The Gap

Most technicians were trained for conventional systems. They lack the vocabulary to operate, fault-find, or optimise smart building technologies. This workshop closes that gap in one day.

Curriculum

What You'll Learn

Five practical modules, each grounded in internationally recognised certifications.

01

A2L Refrigerants – Safety & Handling

Why the industry is transitioning, safety classifications (A2L vs. A1), and what technicians must know to work safely and comply with regulations.

Source: Johnson Controls

02

BACnet Protocol & BMS Cybersecurity

How devices from Siemens, Honeywell, Schneider, and Johnson Controls communicate — and how to protect building networks from threats.

Source: BACnet Institute

03

Smart HVAC & System Efficiency

Variable frequency drives, demand-controlled ventilation, and system evacuation best practices.

Source: Fieldpiece University

04

BAS-IP & IoT Integration

IP intercoms, sensors, and how data flows from field devices to dashboards.

Source: BAS-IP Online Learning

05

Career Pathways & Certification

Routes to EPA 608, CDACC RAC Levels 1–5, BACnet Professional, and HVAC Excellence certification.
