Course Details
• Energy Auditing: An essential unit that covers the process of conducting energy audits to identify areas of energy inefficiency in buildings. This unit will provide students with the skills to assess building systems, evaluate energy usage, and identify opportunities for cost reduction.
• Building Science and Physics: This unit delves into the scientific principles that govern building energy performance, including heat transfer, air infiltration, and moisture management. Understanding these concepts is critical for designing and implementing effective energy reduction strategies.
• HVAC Systems: This unit explores the design, operation, and maintenance of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems, which are significant consumers of building energy. Students will learn how to optimize HVAC system performance to reduce energy costs.
• Lighting Design and Controls: Lighting is another major energy consumer in buildings. This unit covers the fundamentals of lighting design and control strategies to minimize energy waste while maintaining adequate lighting levels.
• Building Envelope and Insulation: This unit examines the role of building envelopes and insulation in reducing energy costs. Students will learn about different insulation materials and techniques, as well as how to evaluate and improve building envelope performance.
• Renewable Energy Systems: This unit introduces students to renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels and wind turbines, that can be integrated into buildings to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions.
• Energy Management and Monitoring: This unit covers the principles and practices of energy management, including the use of monitoring and control systems to optimize building energy performance. Students will learn how to develop and implement energy management plans to reduce energy costs.
• Building Codes and Standards: This unit provides an overview of building codes and standards related to energy efficiency, including the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) and ASHRAE Standard 90.1. Students will learn how to apply these codes and standards to building design and construction.
• Energy Policy and Incentives: This unit explores the role of government policies and incentives in promoting building energy efficiency. Students will learn about federal, state, and local policies and programs that encourage the adoption of energy-saving technologies and practices.
