This online engineering PDH course provides Licensed Professionals (LPs) with step-by-step instructions on how to correctly verify the reported data of applications and assess indoor environmental quality of U.S. buildings.
Energy use in commercial buildings accounts for nearly 20% of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions at a cost of more than $100 billion per year. Through ENERGY STAR®, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) works with owners and managers of our nation’s commercial buildings to help them strategically manage their facilities’ energy performance, cut energy use, lower utility bills, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
More than a dozen types of commercial buildings can earn EPA’s mark of superior energy efficiency – the ENERGY STAR, which is recognized by 90% of American consumers. Commercial buildings that earn the ENERGY STAR must perform in the top 25% of buildings nationwide compared to similar buildings, and their performance must be verified by a licensed professional.
The role of the LP is to verify that all energy use is accounted for accurately, the building characteristics have been properly reported, and indoor environmental quality has not been compromised in pursuit of energy conservation. By verifying the completeness and correctness of the application submitted to the EPA, the LP helps to ensure the integrity of the ENERGY STAR certification.
This 3 PDH online course is applicable to professional engineers who are interested in learning about the verification process of commercial building applications for the ENERGY STAR® certification.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Gaining an overview of energy use in commercial buildings in the U.S. as well as EPA’s mark of superior energy efficiency
- Familiarizing with the eligibility criteria for individuals verifying the applications for ENERGY STAR
- Learning about the different stages of the ENERGY STAR application process
- Understanding the detailed process by which the LP should verify the accuracy of each element on the application

This online engineering PDH course provides an overview of the different types of renewable energy systems and their benefits.
Renewable energy is energy produced from sources like the sun and wind that are naturally replenished and do not run out. It can be used for electricity generation, space and water heating and cooling, and transportation. Non-renewable energy, in contrast, comes from finite sources that could get used up, such as fossil fuels like coal and oil. The advantages of renewable energy are numerous and affect the economy, environment, national security, and human health. The United States is a resource-rich country with abundant renewable energy resources. Renewable energy generates about 20% of all U.S. electricity, and that percentage continues to grow.

This online engineering PDH course provides guidance in new motor purchase decisions, and helps in identifying the energy and cost savings for motors that should be replaced with premium efficiency units.
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) adopted a NEMA Premium® efficiency motor standard in August of 2001. A motor can be marketed as a NEMA Premium motor if it meets or exceeds a set of minimum full-load efficiency levels.
These premium efficiency motor standards cover the 1 horsepower (hp) to 500 hp three-phase low-voltage NEMA Design A and B general, special, and definite purpose induction motors that are in widespread use in U.S. industrial facilities. The energy savings from replacing in-service standard and energy efficient motors with premium efficiency motor models can be substantial.
This 7 PDH online course is applicable to electrical and mechanical engineers and professionals who are interested in learning more about the performance, properties, selection and applications of premium efficiency motors.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the in-service motor population and motor uses in the industrial sector
- Understanding the evolution of voluntary and mandatory motor efficiency standards
- Learning how to evaluate motor efficiency opportunities, address application considerations, and determine cost-effectiveness
- Gaining an overview of currently available and emerging advanced “Super Premium” efficiency motor technologies
- Understanding the preventive and predictive maintenance activities necessary to keep premium efficiency motors operating at peak efficiency

This online engineering PDH course presents the principles of engineering ethics that every engineer is expected to live by when practicing their profession.
Engineering ethics is (1) the study of moral issues and decisions confronting individuals and organizations involved in engineering and (2) the study of related questions about moral conduct, character, ideals and relationships of peoples and organizations involved in technological development (Martin and Schinzinger, Ethics in Engineering).
This course describes the fundamental legal concepts with which very engineer should be familiar. It also presents unique disciplinary case studies selected from across the nation, as well as hypothetical ethical challenges that demonstrate how difficult it can be to apply the code of ethics for engineers.
