Overview
Sustainability has gained momentum in the building design industry over the past few years. Sustainability is a term that embraces engineering, architecture, facility construction, operation and maintenance for the life of a building from conception of the idea - to constructing the building - to the demolition of the building. Design professionals who work with clients that are using long term life-cycle criteria for making building product and system selection decisions will need to understand sustainable design principles.
In this course the student will learn practical sustainable design engineering issues and design processes for energy- efficient buildings at the LANL (Los Alamos National Laboratory). The topics discussed in this manual can make a difference in the future sustainability of the laboratory and can be applied to other building designs where the engineer wishes to incorporate sustainability as a design parameter.
The student is expected to read Chapter 5: Lighting, HVAC, and Plumbing in the LANL Sustainable Design Guide published by the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions at the end of this course to obtain PDH credits.
