Program outcomes
Identify and differentiate between diverse types of building systems being used in the industry. Using drawings and schematics in the class will enable students to review drawings and systems shown and relate to the intent of the design.
Apply building energy analysis and methods to implement sustainable programs to comply with latest standards and building sustainability. The carbon footprint will also be part of the energy analysis.
Provide building review and analysis outlining the systems being used, methods to improve performance and life cycle analysis.
Integrate renewable energy into building systems including solar systems, geothermal, cistern for harvesting rainwater, building automation and other applicable programs.
Apply methods to improve indoor air quality including implementation of modern technology similar to ultraviolet and magnetic field to deal with airborne bacteria and viruses.
Review and recommend methods to perform building energy analysis and simulation using market available software and government sponsored programs.
Perform root cause analysis to identify building systems issues and make recommendations to resolve and upgrade the systems. This will include applying technical skills, calculations and building systems principles.
Differentiate between commissioning and systems balancing. Methods of performing energy modeling, analysis, and review of available grants.
Understand the role of building management systems in controlling sequence of operation, building system automation, maintenance assistance, optimization of system operation and energy reduction strategies.
Apply the knowledge base in a practical project and demonstrate how the various building systems and energy optimization can be applied supported by financial analysis.
