Abstract: This paper documents in part the study that was conducted for a research project ASHRAE RP-1650, which investigated the training requirements for sustainable high-performance building operations and maintenance. This paper documents the intent, procedures and findings of a portion of the research project, which includes development of learning objectives for training of O&M personnel for high-performance buildings. The purpose of this study was to develop learning objectives that underlie the specific curricula for O&M of HPBs, which would include: KSCs with fully articulated learning objectives; and establishing a psychometric framework for the body of knowledge consistent with further steps in development of certification. The PSTRE psychometric framework was selected for this study due to its relevance to adult and technical education. The study concluded that for optimal O&M of HPBs, learning objectives have to be developed for: fundamental and safeties; equipment, installation and startup; preventive and predictive maintenance practices and troubleshooting; control systems and strategies; VFD programming; system level configuration; energy efficient operating strategies; water treatment and conservation; and performance trending.
