Class Description:

Course Overview

The KODE Labs Technical Certification Program (Level 1) provides the essential skills required to onboard a building into the KODE ecosystem and begin using KODE OS for performance visibility and analytics. Participants will learn how to connect a Niagara 4 Supervisor as a data source, select and map BAS points, apply foundational metadata, and establish a clean, organized data model using consistent naming, tagging, and basic equipment relationships.

Students will also explore core KODE OS functionality, including navigating equipment views, analyzing trends, building simple dashboards, and using introductory analytics tools such as Functional Testing (FTT) and Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD). By the end of the course, participants will be able to onboard a site, structure its data for clarity, and use KODE OS to verify and monitor building performance.

This course is intended for technicians, engineers, integrators, and anyone interested in extending Building Automation Systems into cloud-based platforms for centralized visibility, analytics, and operational insight.

 

Prerequisites

· Participants are required to have a Windows-based laptop (Windows 10 or 11) with administrative access, a current web browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox), reliable high-speed internet connectivity, and the ability to join and participate in a Microsoft Teams meeting (including audio, video, and screen sharing).

· Participants must also be able to securely access the training environment either through a web browser-based remote access solution, or by connecting directly to a designated local network, depending on course location and requirements. Administrative privileges must allow installation of connection software if needed, and local IT policies must not restrict VPN, remote access, or network connectivity.

· The use of multiple monitors is strongly recommended to allow simultaneous viewing of course materials, the live session, and remote systems or software applications.

· Participants should complete the Niagara 4 Operations course, or have moderate field experience involving Niagara 4 or other BAS Systems prior to attending.
