We will study the use and feasibility of different RE sources for electricity production, space/water heating, and transportation. The advantages and limitations of each RE source will be examined. For each technology we will examine the underlying science, its history, economics, and feasibility. Students will investigate the many reasons why it is important to implement RE technologies by examining how RE can be used to solve economic, environmental, and other societal problems locally and globally.

Energy-consuming facilities, both domestic and commercial, will be analyzed by the students for energy efficiency opportunities. The student shall calculate energy savings and environmental impacts for most energy efficiency methods in order to identify and assess energy conservation opportunities. In addition, the student shall demonstrate the appropriate usage of energy monitoring and measuring equipment commonly used by energy specialists and energy auditors.
