CWEA: 1 Contact Hour

New, smart technology changes current conventions, lowering costs, operational pressures and improving performance.

Learner Outcomes:

• Demonstrates how technology enables maintenance efficiencies.
• Takes an in-depth look at the true costs of today's cleaning practices.
• Enables quick analysis of utilities' current practices to drive informed decisions for improved cleaning maintenance.
