ENERGY CONSERVATION/EFFICIENCY & BUILDING SCIENCE TRAINING PROGRAM
This program includes the following three courses:
Fundamentals of Building Science
CSA 575: Z1: Monday: 6:00PM- 9:00PM; 8 weeks; Cost: $200
This course introduces students to the basic principles of hot and cool air transfer and movement within a residential area. Students will understand how insulation works and be acquainted with the major role that insulation plays in the home heating as well as in the home cooling process. They will become familiar with the lingo and vocabulary of the trade while performing basic energy billing and energy loss analysis within they own homes.
Introduction to Energy Efficiency & Energy Conservation
CSA 560: Mon: 6:00PM- 9:00PM; 8 weeks; Cost: $250
This course introduces students to different aspects of energy conservation and the management of energy costs through energy efficiency while protecting the environment through best practices and through the use of energy efficient products. In this course, students are taught different techniques and are equipped with valuable resources which will help them reduce energy costs over time. This course is also offered to acquaint students with the national and state energy codes and code enforcement. This course is a prerequisite to the Home Insulation Course.
Home Insulation & Weatherproofing-Hands-on Training
CSA 561: Z1: Wed: 6:00PM- 9:00PM 12 weeks; Cost: $350.
This training provides students the theoretical and hands-on skills necessary to work as home energy efficiency professionals using the most eco friendly products available. Topics include: insulation types and the R Value, areas of heat loss in a typical energy inefficient home, the tools and equipment used to insulate a home. Students are trained in the complete insulation process for new homes as well as the insulation of existing walls, basement, and attic for energy efficiency and for energy costs reduction.
