Facilities Water Conservation and Management

PSFEI is excited to offer the Facilities Water Conservation and Management (FWCM) course this spring! This course teaches facilities professionals the technologies that optimize water and system efficiency and promote sustainability and conservation resulting in a high-performance, water-conserving building. Students will gain an understanding of how water consumption in a building is a function of operating the building. They will also learn how to create a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing environment for tenants.  

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and a certificate of completion will be awarded for 100 percent attendance and participation. This course will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Lunch will be provided on all three days.
