ABOUT THE COURSE
In this educational training course, participants will begin to explore the three main ways buildings use the energy that contributes to their energy bills. Participants will learn about these load types and get an introduction to the systems and machines that make a modern building function. This course also introduces basic thermodynamic concepts and discusses several real-world situations where energy conservation goals and building function collided. Participants will explore common building energy usages and will hear about various measurement practices and best practices for evaluating loads to enhance energy efficiency. Residential building types typically include: Multi-family housing, apartment buildings, high rise and low rise condos or co-ops.

Who Should Attend
Attendees typically include: building operators, building owners, property managers, maintenance team, residential energy auditors, residential energy facility contractors, workforce development program participants along with entry-level energy, facility and sustainability professionals wishing to expand their skills.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the main ways in which a building uses energy.
  • Explain the basic systems that make a site function.
  • Discuss at a high-level what energy users need when it comes to energy management at the facility level.

Perfect for my dog
Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2
My dog (16 lb) LOVES to whip her toys around and throw them in the air to chase after them. This is the perfect toy for her to play outside by herself. I would repurchase for her over and over again if needed!

Pup loves this!
Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2
My pup loves his soccer balls. These are very durable although if you have a dog that doesn't grasp the concept of using the loops/straps to carry it, teeth could puncture it. They are a good value for the money if your dog likes to chase the ball, I get the smaller size ball for my dog (medium dog). They come with a pump but if you have a bicycle pump or a battery operated pump, it will fill much faster. Ours stay outside and even in the winter, they hold up well, just need a bit more air occasionally to keep it pumped up.

Well that didn't last long!
Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2
He loved it for the 15 minutes it took to destroy it! Cute design, but the material was thin enough to penetrate with his teeth and it was all over in a very short time! He still carries the carcass around and tries to play with it...it's sad. Definitely not for strong chewers.

Decent ball
Color: Blue Puppy, Size: Medium Size 2
Context: I have a busy, anxious Corgi. I like that it came with a pump to air it up. My dog likes the tag feature on it which made the ball easy to carry. She chewed off the tags pretty quick. She didn’t like herding this one as much. She prefers herding a basketball over this ball. The ball sits in the backyard through all the weather and elements and has held up pretty well. We’ve had it about a year and it’s still a good toy.
