This online engineering PDH course presents an overview of cool roofs, which can help many building owners save money while protecting the environment. It illustrates how cool roofs work, what kinds of cool roof options are available, and how to determine if cool roofing is an appropriate energy efficiency option for your building.
Just as wearing light-colored clothing can help keep a person cool on a sunny day, cool roofs use solar-reflective surfaces to maintain lower roof temperatures. Traditional dark roofs can reach temperatures of 150ºF (66ºC) or more in the summer sun. A cool roof under the same conditions could stay more than 50°F (28ºC) cooler.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, architects, designers, contractors, building owners, and all personnel interested in gaining a better understating of cool roofs.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding what is a cool roof
- Learning about the different types of cool roofs
- Knowing if you should use a cool roof
- Learning about cool roof selection and application
- Knowing the precautions and considerations behind cool roofs
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the Department of Energy (DOE) Publication “Guidelines for Selecting Cool Roofs”, Building Technologies Program, published on July 2010.

This online engineering PDH course describes basic process heating applications and equipment, and outlines opportunities for energy and performance improvements. It also discusses the merits of using a systems approach in identifying and implementing these improvement opportunities for Fuel-Based and Electric-Based heating systems. Furthermore, it provides recommendations to financially justify process heating improvement projects (System Economics).
Process heating is essential in the manufacture of most consumer and industrial products, including those made out of metal, plastic, rubber, carbon fiber, concrete, glass, and ceramics. Process heating systems are broken into three basic categories: Fuel-Based Process Heating, Electric-Based Process Heating, and Steam-Based Process Heating all of which are discussed in details.

This online engineering PDH course presents a novel building assembly called the Solid Panel Structure (SPS), which utilizes large format (8’x24’), oriented strand board (OSB) panels to create a wall structure that comprises of high-performance moisture and thermal control layers.
The SPS is an innovative interpretation of the “perfect wall” concept, in which environmental control layers are located on the exterior side of the structural components, as opposed to traditional cavity insulated, stud-framed walls. The primary objective of this course is to validate the SPS technology in terms of its constructability, cost, and performance.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical, structural, civil, sustainability engineers, and architects; as well as contractors and others interested in learning more about the “perfect wall” system.

This online engineering PDH course will investigate green roofs as an approach to control stormwater discharge and pollutant content. This course provides the data and background municipalities and private entities need to move forward with decisions to implement green roofs as a stormwater control technology, or best management practice (BMP).
Urban development has led to large areas of impervious surfaces such as parking lots and building roofs. Runoff from these areas is causing problems for many urban and suburban communities. Not only is total volume of wet weather flow (WWF) increased, but peak flow rates are also increased. Implementation of traditional stormwater BMPs in urban areas may not be practical in all circumstances due to limited available surface area and other concerns. Green roofs have been suggested as a means to reduce the stormwater impacts of development because they have been shown to both detain and retain stormwater. The purpose of this study is to quantify runoff reductions resulting from the use of extensive green roof systems.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to municipality owners and/or operators, construction contractors/workers, site developers, engineers, managers, and all other personnel involved in the stormwater runoff control field.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about the green roof effects on runoff quantity
- Learning about the green roof effects on runoff quality
- Learning about the different types of plants commonly used in green roofs
- Understanding the green roof plant and media management considerations
- Familiarizing with the cost and implementation associated with green roofs for stormwater runoff control

This online engineering PDH course provides a comprehensive evaluation of the Plug-and-Play (PnP) duct system for residential HVAC applications.
This course explores the challenges of traditional ductwork and the growing demand for streamlined efficient air distribution systems in today’s energy-efficient homes. It introduces a simplified, home-run style air delivery system that uses uniformly sized, small-diameter ducts connected to a central manifold which significantly improve ease of design and installation over conventional trunk-and-branch systems. This course provides a newly developed design methodology for PnP air delivery system supported by practical guidance documents for straightforward field implementation. It also covers comprehensive material and cost comparisons, results from laboratory and field testing, and performance modeling using EnergyPlus. Additionally, it addresses building code compliance challenges and includes valuable industry feedback from builders, manufacturers, and code officials.

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on detecting and regulating equipment leaks and providing repair solutions.
EPA has determined that leaking equipment, such as valves, pumps, and connectors, are the largest source of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile hazardous air pollutants (VHAPs) from petroleum refineries and chemical manufacturing facilities. The Agency has estimated that approximately 70,367 tons per year of VOCs and 9,357 tons per year of HAPs have been emitted from equipment leaks. Emissions from equipment leaks exceed emissions from storage vessels, wastewater, transfer operations, or process vent.
This course identifies some of the problems identified with LDAR (Leak Detection And Repair) programs focusing on Method 21 requirements and will describe the practices that can be used to increase the effectiveness of an LDAR program. Some of the elements of a model LDAR program are required by current Federal regulations and other model LDAR program elements help ensure continuous compliance although they may not be mandated from a regulatory standpoint. Prior to developing a written LDAR program plan, all applicable regulations should be reviewed to determine and ensure compliance with the most stringent requirements.
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers, as well as other technical professionals who are interested in learning about leak detection and repair.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
