Energy Efficient Building Design
In Energy Efficient Building Design, you'll learn ...
- Energy efficiency concepts
- The factors affecting energy consumption
- The benefits of a low-energy building
Overview
This four-hour course covers energy efficiency concepts for commercial buildings and how to incorporate these concepts to provide a low-energy building. Using the ideas presented in this course may help to reduce energy consumption up to 30% over a conventional commercial building. The course, explains the basic concepts, where and how in the design process they should be considered and gives a couple of examples where the results were applied and yielded significant energy cost savings.
