When it comes to saving energy, knowledge is key.

Founded in 1969, Stockton University is committed to academic excellence, student success, and community engagement—while also emphasizing sustainability, environmental stewardship, and responsible resource management. By partnering with Atlantic City Electric, they were able to bring that same philosophy to training their facilities team about saving energy on their campus.

The Opportunity

As New Jersey’s largest university campus, Stockton wanted to ensure that its staff had consistent, up-to-date knowledge of building systems, controls, and energy management best practices. The Building Operator Certification (BOC) training offered Stockton the opportunity to invest in staff development while supporting its long-term sustainability and cost-reduction goals.

The Training

Stockton staff found that the virtual courses were well-structured, engaging, and highly relevant. Instructors were knowledgeable and provided practical examples that directly related to campus building operations. Participants chose coursework that is applicable and valuable to their daily responsibilities, including:

  • HVAC Systems Operations and Controls Fundamentals
  • Measuring and Benchmarking Energy Performance
  • Operations and Maintenance Practices for Sustainable Buildings
  • Low-Cost Opportunities for Operational Improvement
  • Lighting Fundamentals

The Results

With a deeper understanding of building systems, participants are now able to spot energy-saving opportunities and address maintenance issues that impact energy use before they escalate—leading to smarter decision-making and stronger coordination between facilities and energy management. As a result, the university is benefitting across multiple areas, such as:

  • Increased energy efficiency and improved operating costs
  • Stronger technical skills and ongoing professional development
  • Reduced energy use and lower greenhouse gas emissions
  • More consistent practices and improved performance
