WGF 102 Technical Aspects of Energy/Resource
This course is an introductory course on the principles of fossil, renewable and alternative energy technologies and installation concepts. It distinguishes between energy sources in large-scale, industrial/commercial settings and those intended for smaller structures. It also covers the utilization of renewable sources (solar, wind, geothermal, biomass, etc.) as well as alternatives in building operations (micro turbines, fuel cells, combined, heat and power). The course is designed to prepare students for a career in the application of these technologies in building construction and retrofits. 12 (2 lecture hours and 2 laboratory hours)
