Course Title: Deep Energy Retrofits
Delivery Method: Live Online
Course Description: This course examines energy-efficiency upgrades to existing buildings using a whole-building approach that includes building envelopes, lighting systems, upgrades to HVAC systems, and upgrades to ventilation systems.
Learning Objectives:
Learning Objective 1:
Learners will be able to explain what qualifies as a deep energy retrofit (DER), identify costs associated costs and the benefits of DERs, and identify financial and other incentives to take on a DER project.
Learning Objective 2:
Learners will be able to discuss how timing a DER project often presents itself when building components are nearing, or at, the end of their useful lifecycle. Needs can be analyzed, actions can be prioritized, and retrofit steps can be taken in the most efficient order to bring a deteriorating building back to life with maximum performance.
Learning Objective 3:
Learners will be able to describe how to retrofit building envelope insulation, windows and doors to reduce heating and cooling loads.
Learning Objective 4:
Learners will be able to describe how to retrofit building lighting systems, HVAC systems and ventilation systems to reduce energy loads and help achieve energy efficiency goals.
