Learning Outcomes
The purpose of this program is to prepare individuals to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills in support of engineers and other professionals engaged in developing energy-efficient systems or monitoring energy use. Includes instruction in principles of energy conservation, instrumentation calibration, monitoring systems and test procedures, energy loss inspection procedure’s energy conservation techniques, and report preparation. Equipped with the appropriate set of skills, an Energy Management Technician also oversees the energy purchase and consumption of a building (residential or commercial) or portfolio of buildings. The Energy Management Technician will make energy efficiency recommendations to building owners as a result of investment level 3 energy audits.
Students who complete this program will be able to:
- Evaluate the energy use patterns for residential and commercial buildings and recommend energy efficiency measures and renewable energy solutions for high energy consuming buildings.
- Understand the interaction between energy consuming building systems and make energy use reduction recommendations based on that understanding.
- Construct energy evaluation technical reports and make presentations for potential project implementation
- Collect and display data as lists, tables, and plots using appropriate technology (e.g., excel and other computer software)
- Develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on collected data.
- Interpret the concepts of a problem-solving task, and, using mathematics, translate concepts into energy-related projects.
- Read and analyze building blueprints including floor, mechanical, and electrical plans.
- Read elevations, sections, schedules, and construction notes.
