ESE Energy Management Designs - Part 2

Course Description

This course builds on techniques and systems studied in EMAN 553 Energy Management Design 1. Energy costs and cost effectiveness in commercial and industrial buildings will be evaluated in depth, using state-of-the-art computer software. A computerized hourly analysis program (HAP) will be used to plot weather data on a global basis, construct operating schedules, analyze building materials, determine heating/cooling loads, and determine operating costs. As a final project, students will work in teams to determine the heating/cooling load of a commercial office building.
