Learning Outcomes
The purpose of this program is to prepare students for a career in Energy Management. Through this online program, students will learn how residential and commercial building systems consume energy by understanding how they work and the interaction between one another. Students will be able to evaluate and measure consumption and make an informed recommendation on building system energy efficiency improvements. Employment is found with Government, Utilities, Engineering Firms, School Districts, Community Action Programs, and Residential Weatherization Practitioners!
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 blue prints including floor, mechanical, and electrical plans.
- Read elevations, sections, schedules, and construction notes.
