Energy Accounting

Buildings are constructed to provide enclosed environments within which people can comfortably live and productively work. Creating comfortable, productive environments requires energy, and energy costs money. Buildings account for 76% of all the electricity consumed in the U.S. With that much energy being consumed, there are certainly going to be some opportunities for improvements in operational efficiency. This interactive online course will cover some of the concepts and terms needed to understand and manage energy consumption.
