Abstract
This is a introductory course on the principles of fossil, renewable and alternative energy technologies and installation concepts. It distinguishes between energy sources in large-scale, industrial/commercial settings and those intended for smaller structures. It covers the utilization of renewable sources (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, etc.) as well as alternatives in building operations (micro turbines, fuel cells, combined, heat and power). It is designed to prepare students for a career in the application of these technologies in building construction and retrofits. Up to 5 off-campus visits to alternative energy installations to be scheduled.
