ENPM6703Students are expected to have prior knowledge of advanced undergraduate basic thermodynamics, heat transfer, and thermal transport processes. Knowledge of electrical systems and controls is desirable.Energy Audits for Decarbonization and Sustainability EnhancementProvides students with fundamentals and applications of energy audit, modeling, and management in building energy systems. Energy audit procedures for electrical, lighting, mechanical and HVAC systems will be covered, and will include the economics/life-cycle costing analysis. Students will gain experience on conducting energy audit through real-world project(s). Building energy modeling tools, such as EnergyPlus and eQuest, will be introduced and implemented through assigned projects. The course coverage will also include contemporary topics such as energy management of mission critical facilities such as data centers, integrated building automation and control systems for energy efficiency, and real-time energy management for individual and network of buildings.
