Companies come to Smart Buildings Academy when their existing staff:

  • Are unable to keep up with backlog
  • Are not hitting the amount of profit per employee that they'd like
  • Are trying to skill up new or existing employees to perform building automation work

We utilize a proven 6-Step Process that provides measurable increases in the abilities of our customers' technical staff and pair it with our 3-Principle Focus to solve the top issues in Smart Buildings training.

SBA'S PROVEN PROCESS

 

6 (4) Discovery Meeting

We partner with you to uncover your biggest operational challenges and then walk you through how SBA’s process delivers real-world results.

 

6 (3) Assessment

Our quantifiable technical assessments identify skill gaps in BAS, HVAC, IT, Programming, Design, Sales, and Project Management knowledge. We cross-examine results with those of our existing student database, pinpointing gaps that are costing your business efficiency and revenue. We then provide you with recommendations on how to close those gaps.

 

6 (2) Learning Map Creation

Our Learning Maps allow us to deliver focused training based on job role and skill set needs. We will also build customized maps for senior or specialized employees. Students get online, on-demand access to the certificate program for a full year.

 

6 (1) Training Execution

We then seamlessly enroll your team in our skill-building programs. We track progress and provide hands-on support every step of the way.

 

6-1 Validation of Outcomes

We perform post-training evaluations to measure workforce improvement and deliver actionable insights that enhance your operational success. We have seen measured success as high as 20% per subject matter. Our average customers see a 3-5% increase on executed margin per employee.

PROTECT YOUR TALENT INVESTMENT

 

 

How much does it cost to have employees shadow senior technicians on the job site?

Our customers had an average billable rate of 41% prior to enrolling their students in our programs. That means they were paying their employees to work 32 hours a week and NOT billing their customers!

WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING

I believe this course covers the basics in great detail and breaks things down into what you actually need to know. This saves a lot of time and allows you to cover more area. I also think it is very helpful that Phil is readily available for questions of any sort. All of my questions were answered within minutes.
Garrett Spencer
Hoffman Building Technologies
I would highly recommend this course because of all the resources it provided me and how it taught me to use those resources. For example, all the templates that help with completing point lists, RFIs, BOMs, etc. I can now use these templates for future projects and I will be able to complete control submittals more efficiently. I also found very useful the tips for working with Visio, Excel, and Word.
Giselle Perez
Climatec
​I didn't realize a course like this existed, there is such a dearth of training materials in this industry and I have been so overwhelmed in starting this role. I think this course has given me a language aptitude for the industry I didn't have previously. I've highly recommended your course and structure to my colleagues and even some of my customers!
