Overview
Energy is becoming more and more a major factor in building systems design. Engineers who strive to utilize the most current technology and efficient systems are looking at Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems as a primary option early in the building design. CHP is an important part of America’s energy future.
In this course the student will learn some of the basic guidelines for understanding Combined Heat & Power (CHP) systems. This course is intended to complement the knowledge of those who have some idea of what CHP is by providing information to serve as a refresher or provide reference to specific information to assist in performing a first level screening or assessment of the suitability of CHP to a particular facility.
The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Combined Heat & Power (CHP) Resource Guide - September 2003 prepared by the Midwest CHP Application Center and Avalon Consulting, Inc. in partnership with the US DOE
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-six (26) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
