Energy Management Certificate
Lane Community College
Description
This is the application of 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.
Learning Outcomes
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 Access library, computing and communications services, and obtain information and data from regional, national, and international networks 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. Use appropriate library and digital information resources to research professional objectives and support lifelong learning. Read and analyze building blueprints including floor, mechanical, and electrical plans. Read elevations, sections, schedules, and construction notes.
