Course Description

Professional Engineers have great advantage in understanding the energy systems of a house. With new construction of homes at a slow pace today, there is time for our nation to devote resources to making our existing houses more energy efficient. Standards and techniques used by the Building Performance Institute, Inc. should be familiar to PEs, who have a knowledge foundation in this field that is greater than the populace in general. The country can use the expertise of its engineering community to stop wasting valuable energy and money. Certainly the political will is there to achieve this.

While it may not be a profession changing opportunity for most, this course will enhance what you already know from your related engineering fields. It should allow Professional Engineers to exercise more leadership in their communities, where the Home Energy Audit and Weatherization businesses are exploding. And it could motivate PEs to gain additional credentials by proceeding toward Building Analyst certification.

4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Good course, 12.2.2011

Excellent information and will be used my this reviewer. However, someone needs to check the actual text as there are many indecipherable sentences.

While most of the content was good information, some of the styles used to depict equations were awkward, and not in keeping with proper algebraic nomenclature. Suggest all equations be updated using the equator editor in Word, or the equivalent in Mac. I also noted one or two typographic errors, meaning one more round of proofreading might be in order. Also suggest that more tables be included (ex., R values, etc,) and maybe an appendix at the end that summarizes all essential equations and their uses in conducting an existing home energy audit. It might also be useful to list the recommended equipment, several manufacturers and price ranges.
