Laboratory Building Energy Analysis
Steven G. Liescheidt, P.E., CSI-CCS, CCPR.
Overview
Because laboratories use a high amount of energy,
often more than five times as much per square foot as an office building, it is
important to find cost-effective ways to reduce their energy use and costs.
In this course the student will learn about energy
efficiency strategies including reducing the air flow during unoccupied periods,
variable-air-volume systems, lower static pressure drop in the air distribution
system, energy recovery by enthalpy wheels, heat pipes, and run-around loops;
evaporative cooling; and more accurate accounting for plug loads.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained
in Laboratories For The 21st Century – Energy Analysis, Publication
DOE/GO-102003-1694 – April 2003.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at
the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
