-
3.00 Credits
This course teaches concepts in residential/light commercial heating systems, heat transfer through the building envelope, degree days, sources of internal heat gains, heat loss calculations, indoor air pollution, and codes and regulations. In addition, students will be introduced to energy auditing software.
-
3.00 Credits
Students will investigate the physical principles of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning commonly found in the residential setting. Topics will include: the energy equation, change of state, and refrigeration. The course will also cover heat equation, psychometrics, heating and cooling load equations, piping system design, duct system design, solar effects, effects of thermal mass, and central forced air furnaces. Students will learn Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEERs), Energy Efficient Resource Standards (EERSs), Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUEs,) fuels, and unitary single zone and multi-zone secondary systems. This course requires field work where students will identify and perform calculations. Prerequisite: ENRG 102.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is the second of a two-course sequence. This course teaches students to identify commercial HVAC system types and the general energy impact of each type. Calculations of system equipment efficiencies will be used to determine Energy Efficient Resource Standards (EERS), Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratios (SEERs), Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiencies (AFUEs), combustion and seasonal efficiency in boilers, balance point partial load efficiency, and Bin analysis. Students will investigate HVAC delivery systems that include fans, pumps, dampers, control valves, and ducting. This course requires fieldwork where students will identify and perform calculations. Prerequisites: ENRG 102 and ENRG 106.
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes assessment of quantity and quality of light, light sources, luminaries, lighting controls, manufacturer lamp and ballast specifications, lighting power density, lighting-HVAC interactions, retrofit opportunities, cost savings analysis, and lighting codes regulations. The course includes a supervised lighting audit project.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will emphasize energy management calculation methods focusing on conversion factors and specific fuel types. Fundamental equipment efficiency calculations will be practiced for combustion, motors, and refrigeration. Field data collection and safety procedures will be reviewed. Prerequisites: ENRG 100 and ENRG 102.
-
1.00 Credits
of This course is open to students in the Energy Management certificate program. Students will identify a project, subject to instructor's approval, to demonstrate competence in a specific area energy management. Prerequisite: ENRG 100.
-
3.00 Credits
This course teaches energy investment analysis. Topics include interest, simple payback, and life- cycle cost analysis, time value of money, cash flow equivalence, cost-benefit analysis, effects of tax credits, depreciation, inflation and/or escalating fuel costs on energy investments, and cost estimating procedures. The emphasis will be on analysis of energy investments using spreadsheets to consider total cost-benefits over the life of the investmen t. Prerequisites: ENRG 104 or permission of instructor and CSIS 121
-
3.00 Credits
This course includes building system control theory and devices, including electric, pneumatic, and digital controls. An emphasis is placed on identifying and understanding control strategies related to energy using systems and methods to estimate energy savings. Hands-on labs reinforce device identification. Prerequisites: ENRG 106 and ENRG 212.
-
3.00 Credits
- both written and oral. This course will guide students through the technical presentation process Electronic communication skills are included. Prerequisite: CSIS 110.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides relevant field experience that integrates theory and practice while providing opportunities to develop skills, explore career options and network with professionals and employers in the energy management field. This course is a required course in the Energy Management Certificate and Degree programs. Prerequisite: student must be enrolled in the Energy Management program and have a minimum of 21 hours of coursework completed before taking this Energy Internship course or have permission of instructor.
