A federal institute on Tuesday awarded a $455,000 grant to the Delaware Valley Industrial Resource Center (DVIRC) to train building operators so that they can more efficiently operate their facilities by "re-tuning" their building systems.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology Manufacturing Extension Partnership gave the money to DVIRC on behalf of the Energy Efficient Buildings Hub, based in the Navy Yard. The grant will pay to prepare trainers to lead re-tuning teams from the Philadelphia school district, Liberty Property Trust, DVIRC and others.
