Back to Basics: Electrical for Facility Managers

An IFMA Northern Ohio Chapter Educational Program

You don’t need to be an electrician to manage a building — but you do need to know enough to ask the right questions, spot a problem before it becomes an emergency, and speak the same language as your electrical contractors.

Join IFMA Northern Ohio for this hands-on “Back to Basics” session, designed specifically for facility managers who want to build (or refresh) their foundational understanding of building electrical systems.

What you’ll walk away with:

  • A working knowledge of electrical systems, terminology, and components found in commercial buildings
  • How to identify common warning signs of electrical issues before they lead to downtime or safety hazards
  • What to look for during walkthroughs and inspections — and what questions to ask your electrical vendors
  • A better understanding of code basics, maintenance best practices, and when to call in a licensed pro
  • Increased confidence managing electrical-related budgets, capital planning, and vendor conversations

No engineering degree required — just a willingness to learn the essentials that make you a sharper, more confident facility manager.
