| Credits: | 1 |
| Lecture: | 6 hours |
| Class Exercises: | 1 hours |
| Project: | 3 hours | Total: | 10 hours |
Prerequisites: None
Class Description: Introduces HVAC control systems typical in multifamily buildings. Participants will also learn basic electrical concepts and safety procedures. Discusses onsite renewable energy generation, electric vehicle charging, and advanced “smart” technologies that will become more common as multifamily buildings evolve. PROJECT: HVAC Controls Review
Learning Outcomes/Competencies:
At the completion of Efficient Lighting Fundamentals, a participant will be able to:
- Define common terms related to electricity.
- Identify electrical hazards and safety practices.
- Understand different types of testing/troubleshooting tools and methods.
- List the main devices in a basic control system and interpret basic control drawings.
- Identify preventative maintenance tasks for a basic control system.
- Analyze graphical user interfaces (GUI) from a building automation system (BAS).
- Identify smart building technologies relevant to multifamily buildings.
- Describe and understand Distributed Energy Resources (DER) and Grid-Interactive Efficient Buildings (GEB).
