COURSE TITLE: Fan and Pump Technology Overview and their Energy Saving Opportunities
COURSE NO: M09-002
COURSE PROVIDER: Elie Tawil, P.E., LEED AP
Fan and Pump Technology Overview and their Energy Saving Opportunities
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides a technical and market analysis of pumps and fans as they pertain to commercial and residential buildings, as well as key conclusions regarding the R&D opportunities that can help achieve energy savings goals.

 

The Building Technologies Office (BTO) within the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) works with researchers and the industry to develop and deploy technologies that can substantially reduce energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings.

 

The course highlights an annual technical savings potential of approximately 2.6 and 0.63 quads of primary energy for fans and pumps, respectively, assuming 100% adoption of best-in-class energy efficient technologies in the U.S. for the applicable installed base.

 

Four R&D opportunity areas for fans and five R&D opportunity areas for pumps are identified that will help to achieve the required savings potential, and therefore, BTO’s energy savings goals. These key opportunities for R&D are primarily focused on systems-level controls and technological improvements such as motors.

 

This 9 PDH online course is applicable to HVAC, mechanical and electrical engineers, and professionals who are interested in learning more about fan and pump technologies and their energy saving opportunities.
Learning Objectives

COURSE TITLE: Boiler Basics, Operation and Maintenance
COURSE NO: M08-009
COURSE PROVIDER: Elie Tawil, P.E., LEED AP
Boiler Basics, Operation and Maintenance
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides information on steam generation, types of boilers pertinent to engineering operations, and the various fittings and components commonly found on boilers.

 

The boiler is an enclosed vessel in which water is heated and circulated, either as hot water or steam, to produce a source for either heat or power. A central heating plant may have one or more boilers that use gas, oil, or coal as fuel. The steam generated is used to heat buildings, provide hot water, and provide steam for cleaning, sterilizing, cooking, and laundering operations. Small package boilers also provide steam and hot water for small buildings.

 

A boiler must also meet certain requirements before it is considered satisfactory for operation. The boiler must be safe and economical to operate, and it must be able to generate steam at the desired rate and pressure.

 

This 8 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about the operation, maintenance, and repair of boilers used in various engineering applications.

COURSE PROVIDER: Elie Tawil, P.E., LEED AP
Fire Protection Systems
Course Highlights

This online engineering PDH course provides information on the different types of fire protection systems and presents guidelines for periodic inspection and maintenance procedures of these systems.

 

Fire protection systems are designed to extinguish fires as quick as possible to prevent the loss of lives and property. When fire suppression systems are installed, the system would control, put out any fire that may result and signal the fire department. However, in the absence of similar systems, any building could be severely damaged or completely destroyed before the fire department could respond.

 

There are several types of fire protection systems. Each system is designed to serve in specific locations and has its unique components and functioning characteristics. And in order to ensure that these systems are safe and reliable, periodic inspection and maintenance of their components is required.

 

This 4 PDH online course is applicable to engineers who are interested in learning more about fire protection systems and the inspection and maintenance procedures for a safe and a reliable performance.
