Energy Management Courses

Low/No Cost Energy Savings Opportunities

Duration: 0.50 Hrs

Course Level: Fundamental
Languages: English
Capability: Audio, Video, MobileReady

In managing the energy consumption of a building, there are two goals. One is to provide and maintain the comfort of the occupants, and one is to minimize the amount of energy, and therefore money, consumed in the process. This interactive online course will cover some low-cost methods that can be used to minimize building energy consumption.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Describe the importance of maintaining equipment and operational logs
Describe the importance of locating and verifying outdoor air sensors for accuracy
Demonstrate how to evaluate building operations and initiate recommendations for energy related improvements
Comprehend the role of motors, timeclocks and controls in the implementation of energy related initiatives
Discuss how maintenance affects efficiency of steam traps, cooling towers and sensors

Energy Accounting

Duration: 0.50 Hrs

Course Level: Fundamental
Languages: English
Capability: Audio, Video, MobileReady

Buildings are constructed to provide enclosed environments within which people can comfortably live and productively work. Creating comfortable, productive environments requires energy, and energy costs money. Buildings account for 76% of all the electricity consumed in the U.S. With that much energy being consumed, there are certainly going to be some opportunities for improvements in operational efficiency. This interactive online course will cover some of the concepts and terms needed to understand and manage energy consumption.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Describe energy use accounting
Explain the terms EUI, enthalpy, and power factor
Explain the terms Energy Star and degree days
Describe the rate structures and factors that make up an energy bill
