Blower-Door Theory (Mini Course)

(2.0 CEUs) Blower door tests are essential to building-energy evaluations. This lesson covers the science behind blower door tests and how we use test results to evaluate building airtightness. You’ll learn the following. Why airtightness tests are...

Analyzing Consumption (Mini Course)

(1.5 CEUs) You can learn a lot about a building by looking at its energy bills. This lesson will help you separate baseload energy consumption from seasonal energy consumption. Monthly baseload consumption stays nearly the same throughout the year. Seasonal energy...

Energy Calculations (Mini Course)

(2.0 CEUs) This lesson gives you a selection of examples of how we use math to make decisions during an energy audit. You probably depend on software to do the calculations, but you benefit from knowing how to do the calculations by hand. And, you may see energy-math...
