Building control systems are important
facets in any building's energy management
plan. They help avoid waste and save
money. A vital component of a control
system is the sensors that are incorporated
into the system. We must measure what we
wish to control. We need to have a way to
make measurements accurately and
repeatedly. Sensors measure the data that
the controller uses to make decisions based
on its set of programmed standards and set
points. Sensors are the first step of control.
This course provides an overview of the
various sensors integrated in a building
control system, and looks at the variety of
designs and need for correct placement.
The building envelope is a critical
component of any facility since it protects
the building occupants and plays a major
role in regulating the indoor environment.
Consisting of the building's foundation,
walls, roof, windows, and doors, the
envelope controls the flow of energy
between the interior and exterior of the
building. A well designed envelope allows
the building to provide comfort for the
occupants and respond efficiently to
heating, cooling, ventilating, and natural
lighting needs.
Today we will examine the elements of the
building envelope (floors, walls, windows
and ceiling) and how those elements
participate in heat transfer. We will discuss
heat loss or gain due to transmission,
infiltration and ventilation. This course
contains many equations used to determine
heat loss and gain through the building
envelope, and we will supply a sample case

help explain each topic.

sensors commonly found in a building

Cogeneration today is widely used
throughout the world for efficient production
of heat and power. Cogeneration is the
simultaneous production of heat and power
in a single thermodynamic process. The
purpose of this course is to review the
different approaches for applying
technologies to the function of cogeneration.
We’ll also explore the various issues and
considerations for deployment of the two
main types of cogeneration concepts:
"Topping Cycle" plants (including
“Combined Cycle” plants), and "Bottoming
Cycle" plants.
Investment in electrical infrastructure has
struggled to keep up with increased
demand. We have seen demand become so
strong that it has triggered large network
failures. Demand response programs
provide a simple way for facility managers to
get paid for reducing consumption and
relieving load on the power grid when it is
stressed. In effect they are returning
capacity to the grid and being paid for that
asset. This course will look at the issues
involved, how Demand Response works,
why it is beneficial, and what the Smart Grid
is.

In buildings, nearly three quarters of the
electricity consumed is used to turn motors.
For a typical motor, the lifetime energy bill is
equivalent to 100 times the cost of the motor
itself. The money invested in motors, is
merely 1% of their total cost. And installing
and maintaining those motors accounts for
only 2% of overall motor costs. 97% of costs
associated with motors are spent on the
energy required to operate them. This
course will provide an overview of power
drive systems and motors along with insight
on efficiency. This course will also cover,
gears - types, efficiency and maintenance.
This course explores the fundamentals of
energy units and electricity. With energy
demand rising and greenhouse gas
emissions in sharp focus around the world,
the time has come for everyone to take
action to economize on energy use by the
intelligent application of technology to bring
about energy efficiency. Understanding
these units and concepts is the foundation

Most engineers, architects, and end users
are familiar with the use of insulation to
reduce heating and cooling loads and
control noise in building envelopes.
Insulations used for pipes, ducts, tanks, and
equipment are not as familiar. The installed
cost of these materials is usually a small
part of the total cost of a project. As a result,
mechanical insulation is often overlooked,
undervalued, or improperly specified and
maintained in commercial and industrial
construction projects. The purpose of this
course is to review the different types of
industrial insulation applications for a given
application.
The pipes and installations in industrial
plants often carry materials that need to be
kept at a certain temperature for an optimal
production process. Unless the pipes and
installations are properly insulated, the
proper temperature may not be maintained.
And while placing the actual insulation onto
the mechanics—such as a pipe, tank or
vessel—is fairly easy; determining what type
of insulation to use and how much—is not
so easy. The focus of Industrial Insulation II
will be on the process of performing
calculations in order to determine the
requirements/impact of industrial insulation.
Insulation systems, like all mechanical
systems, require a schedule of regular
inspection and maintenance. Despite the
well known fact that inspection and
maintenance are the responsibility of the
owner, the reality is that most insulation
systems are frequently ignored. Over time,
insulation systems can also become
damaged due to a variety of reasons-and if
not repaired or replaced-can be rendered
useless. The purpose of this course is to
discuss the proper process of inspection
and maintenance for industrial insulation.

Projects to improve the energy efficiency of
lighting are among some of the lowest risk,
highest payback projects that an energy
manager can select. To select and justify
those projects, energy managers need to be
able to show how the changes will impact
the consumption and present the financial
benefits. In this class we’ll see a number of
ways to make simple evaluations of lighting

Measurement and benchmarking appears in
two key stages in an efficiency improvement
cycle. Before starting an improvement
program, measurement and benchmarking
helps determine where and to what degree
energy is wasted. It also provides a baseline
for future comparison. Measurement during
the monitoring stage helps identify
deviations that need to be corrected, in
order to sustain savings. In this course, we’ll
discuss energy accounting, and examine
some of the concepts and methods involved
in energy measurement and benchmarking.
We’ll also explore the components of a utility
bill, and provide benchmarking examples to
verify charges.
Electric motors, taken together, make up the
single largest end use of electricity in many
developed countries.
In many developed countries, in industrial
applications, electric motors account for
roughly 60% of electricity consumption; in
the process industries, electric motors can
account for more than 70% of electricity use.
The cost of running a motor can be as much
as ten times to the purchasing cost of a

represents a huge potential for energy
savings.

Low power factor and harmonics are a
frustration for electrical installations. They
can cause power losses and reduced
energy reliability. In the context of increasing
concern about energy efficiency and energy
management, power factor and harmonics
are important issues to consider for the
management of electrical installations. This
course will explore power factor and
harmonics and will explain how power factor
correction and harmonic mitigation provide
immediate benefit in terms of reduced power
losses, reduced electricity bill, and the
possibility to use the total system capacity.
Globally retail companies spend billions of
dollars and euros on energy each year.
Those costs can account for 25 percent to
40 percent of ongoing building expenses. In
many countries, energy costs continue to
rise - for example in the US those costs rose
31 percent from 2003 to 2005, according to
U.S. federal figures. There is no indication
that these costs will fall in the future. In fact,
the U.S. Department of Energy projects a 30
percent sustained increase in the cost of
electricity.

Energy Pumping Systems I: Pump
Efficiency Types and Performance
Inglés
Pumps are essential to the daily operation of
many facilities. This tends to promote the
practice of sizing pumps conservatively to
ensure that the needs of the system will be
met under all conditions. Intent on ensuring
that the pumps are large enough to meet
system needs, engineers often overlook the
cost of oversizing pumps and err on the side
of safety by adding more pump capacity.
Unfortunately, this practice results in higherthan-necessary system operating costs. In
addition, oversized pumps typically require
more frequent maintenance than properly
sized pumps. Excess flow energy increases
the wear and tear on system components,
resulting in valve damage, piping stress, and
excess system operation noise. A pump
does not function in isolation: it is part of a
system of supply and demand. The use of a
“systems approach” will typically yield a
quieter, more efficient, and more reliable
system. In this course, we will explore the
advantages of different types of pumps,
pump components, and end-use equipment.
We’ll also examine pump efficiency curves
to gain a better understanding of the
flow/pressure relationship.

The purpose of this course is to examine the
chief factors that impact the efficiency of
pumping systems. Pumping systems
commonly have a wide range of flow needs.
Since flow may have to be increased or
decreased depending on demand, flow
control is essential to system performance.
This class will examine the various flow
control methods generally found in pumping
systems today. We also cover the effects of
impeller trimming, piping configurations, and
oversized pumps.
Pumping systems support essential
processes in buildings, manufacturing and
water treatment. A pump does not function
in isolation: it is part of a system of supply
and demand. The use of a ‘systems
approach’ will typically yield a quieter, more
efficient, and more reliable system. This
course will explore how fine-tuning a pump’s
performance helps to render it more suitable
for the system, while appropriate design of
piping configurations helps to reduce energy
losses. We’ll also recap how you can detect
oversized pumps in your pumping system.
Strategic energy planning is the
development of an overall energy resource
plan to ensure that necessary energy
resources are available, and to make the
most cost effective energy decisions. It
provides for orderly growth in energy
consumption and transition to new fuels or
suppliers when required. A strategic energy
plan will address short and long term actions
to improve and sustain the energy efficiency
of the facility, define procurement strategy,
and provide contingencies for outages,
expansion, or reduction in production and
occupancy. This class provides an overview
of the important pre-requisites for planning
and the components of an effective plan.

ISO 50001: Maximizing
Your Energy Efficiency
Through Proven
Standards
Inglés
Early trends indicate that the ISO 50001
Energy Management standard is poised for
tremendous growth in US adoption rate.
Multinational manufacturers recognize that
the standard gives credibility and structure
to an Energy Management initiative within
an industrial process facility and saves
energy cost, reduces downtime, improves
energy reliability, and contributes to
environmental sustainability objectives.
The International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) is the world’s largest
developer of voluntary International
Standards. Since 1947, their highly practical
and credible standards have been making
industry more efficient and effective, by
establishing market expectations for quality
(ISO9001), environmental management
systems (ISO14001), and other business
drivers. This Energy University course is
designed as an introduction to a relatively
new standard: ISO 50001-Energy
management systems -- Requirements with
guidance for use. Released in 2011, this
standard seeks to support organizations
efforts to use energy more efficiently,
through the development of an energy
management system (EnMS) and
associated work practices.
Is your organization interested in saving
money, conserving resources, and tackling
climate change? Does your organization
want to be a champion of energy efficiency
and capture new business opportunities as
changes in public policy and customer
preferences transform global markets? The
adoption of ISO 50001, with or without
certification, is one way to help achieve this
critical mission. And, if your customers are

Many motors only have two settings: on and
off. They operate at constant speed. If a
motor turning at constant speed is driving a
device or process that requires less output,
adjustments are required to achieve the
desired output level. This adjustment is
often achieved by letting the motor run at full
speed, while using downstream devices to
block part of the output. This is like driving
your car by having one foot fully depressing

brake to constantly control the speed. It
sounds absurd, but this is still one of the
