-
1.00 - 6.00 Credits
1-6 credits A variable credit course based on independent study contracted between an instructor and a student.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: Program Admittance. This course defines the need for energy management as an integral part of society at all levels. The course will present the various vocational opportunities available to energy management students through lectures, video and guest speakers.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Corequisite: PH 101 .Topics include the following: residential/light commercial heating systems; heat transfer through building envelope; degree days; sources of internal heat gains; heat loss calculations, indoor air pollution; codes and regulations. Spreadsheets will be used
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: NRG 111 and NRG 121 and MTH 095 or Math Placement Test. Emphasis is on the analysis of energy use in commercial buildings. Topics include utility bill analysis, audit data, identifying energy efficiency measures, energy savings and investment calculations, audit report writing. Students will complete a supervised field audit.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: NRG 112 And MTH 095 or Math Placement Test The course covers the variety of computer programs available for analyzing commercial buildings. Topics include BIN methodology, hourly simulations and an overview of current programs on the market such as eQuest. Students perform supervised computer simulations.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: PH 101 Students will investigate the physical principles of heating ventilation, and air conditioning systems commonly found in the commercial setting. Topics will include: the energy equation, change of state, and refrigeration. The course will also cover sensible and latent heat equation, psychometrics, heat and cooling load equations, solar effects, effects of thermal mass, central forced air furnaces, SEERs, EERs, AFUEs, fuels, and unitary single zone and multi-zone secondary systems.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: NRG 121 This course is the second class in a twocourse sequence. Students completing this course will be able to identify commercial HVAC system types and the general energy impact of each type. Calculations of system equipment efficiencies will be used to determine EER, SEER, AFUE, COP, combustion and seasonal efficiency in boilers, balance point partial load efficiency, and Bin analysis. Students will investigate HVAC delivery systems that will include fans pumps dampers, control valves, and ducting. The course will require field work where students will identify and perform calculations on equipment through nameplate and manufactures data takeoffs.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: NRG 122 and NRG 124. Topics include 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 and students complete an energy efficiency controls calculation project.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: BT 114 and NRG 111 and PH 101; Corequisite: PH 102. The class 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. Spreadsheets will be used.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: PH 101 or Instructor Consent; Corequisite: PH 102. Topics include 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. Course requirements include a directly supervised lighting audit project.
