Basic Energy Auditing - UTS Energy Engineering

This training is geared toward field engineers, junior energy auditors, lighting auditors, and accomplished residential energy auditors aiming to become proficient in auditing large commercial and institutional facilities. 

This course introduces the student to the wide variety of energy using systems found in large commercial and institutional facilities (many occur in residential and industrial facilities too). This course covers components that make up the various systems; how to identify them, how they work, how they are controlled, and the many ways in which energy consumption can be reduced. This class dovetails into Advanced Energy Auditing, where excel calculation methodologies are taught. Note: Lighting measures will not be covered.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. To introduce students to the energy using systems found in commercial and institutional facilities; how to identify them, how they work, how they are controlled and how energy can be saved.
2. To discuss local utility incentive programs along with their requirements and reporting formats.
3. To work through utility billing data analyses and how to put together a pie chart of facility energy use.
4. To review information that should be gathered during building surveys, blue print reviews and through data logging.

This course will run for 12 weeks on Tuesdays from 3:30pm-5:35pm
