Overview
Since September 2001, most public agencies and many private firms have focused (or sometimes re-focused) attention on security issues, especially in high-visibility public gathering places and government workplaces. For DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (DOE/EERE), this new focus on security may create both opportunities and challenges for its primary mission to advance the use of energy-efficient and renewable energy technologies.
In this course the student will learn that there are times when the security improvements can also provide energy savings improvements in the HVAC systems and other times when there will be trade-offs. The principles and discussions in this course apply to both government and private facilities.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Securing Buildings and Saving Energy: Opportunities in the Federal Sector, U.S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC03-76SF0098
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
