Description
Using the information from the previous energy systems courses, the student will study basic energy management from an energy conservation perspective. This will include various methods of energy conservation and the savings afforded by them, evaluation of equipment and system performance, along with calculation procedures required for system economic evaluations. The course will emphasize the retrofit of existing systems for energy conservation. As part of the course, the students will be required to use an energy analysis computer program and spreadsheet analysis to calculate equipment performances. In addition, actual methods in management of a building for energy conservation will be discussed. (prereq: AE-411)
