In this course, you’ll learn how smart technology building fundamentals improve residential and commerical buildings within the context of code, health, safety, and welfare. The focus of the course will be to introduce smart home components and concerns, while later walking through the set up of a low budget smart home with a focus on energy controls.
You’ll learn how to apply the information in this course to design and assemble a local electricity controller to understand how electrical control systems can shape a local electric grid.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Identify sound smart home design principles.
- Compare cloud services with local services.
