| CE 51501 - Building Energy Audits |
|
Credit Hours: 3.00. This course is designed to provide students with the necessary skills to perform an energy audit on commercial and residential buildings. Energy accounting procedures for all major building subsystems are covered in detail, along with operational cost analysis of these systems. Students learn fundamental techniques for auditing the building envelope; electrical and lighting systems; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems; internal thermal loads; and building maintenance and operation procedures. Students also learn to analyze electric and natural gas utility tariffs and rate structures and apply their findings to the energy auditing process. Typically offered Fall Spring.

Analyze utility tariffs and rate structures for electricity and natural gas, and use the information to help guide energy audits. 2. Perform an energy audit of all major building subsystems, including the building envelope, electrical and lighting systems, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, internal thermal loads, and building maintenance and operation procedures. 3. Numerically model the energy consumption of each of the building subsystems, and run parametric studies to determine and recommend appropriate energy conservation measures. |
