 Why the SMA®?

The SMA® Designation program provides the tools to improve operations, create energy efficiencies, reduce costs, and enhance the value of an asset. An SMA® designation holder is responsible for the operations of the building, as well as management of the team of technicians assigned to the building.

What Will I Learn?

In the SMA® program, you will learn how to streamline the operations of your building so you can manage energy-efficient, environmentally sound, and cost-effective building systems. Building on the SMT® Designation program, you’ll gain knowledge and experience in administration, energy management, and environmental health and safety issues.

Who Should Enroll?

Maintenance technicians, SMT® Designation holders, those in charge of a team of technicians running the day-to-day building operation of a building, or those interested in a career in facilities management
