CMDP-3006Energy Efficient Systems in Construction
Students will explore a variety of alternative energy-saving options for HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems in the building. They will investigate systems such as solar heating/cooling, geothermal, biomass, gray water, low-flow, low-flush, rain water recovery, fuel cell, PV panels, wind generation, and energy-efficient lighting to see how systems work and their impacts on construction. Actual projects will be used as case studies for sustainability.
