ENERGY AUDITING

Course Description

Students learn how to conduct an entire house and a small business audits that effectively targets to reduce the energy waste. The course includes the lighting, appliances, electronics, building envelope, machinery, motors, HVAC systems and water conservation. The students will also learn about alternative energy solutions that can help your client’s transition to wind and solar power. In addition calculation of Energy Use Intensity (EUI) and performing energy analysis are included in the course. The students learn to use the worksheets for calculating the performance assessment studies of energy systems.
