ENRG 57: Miscellaneous Building Systems

This 3-page outline provides information about the ENRG 57: Miscellaneous Building Systems course that's part of the Commercial Building Energy Analysis and Audits program at City College of San Francisco. This program is intended to prepare students to conduct energy audits, evaluate building systems for efficiency, analyze energy data, and apply financial and business strategies in audit reporting.

This course provides an "overview of types of facilities with high-energy use equipment, descriptions of equipment, plug load, vampire loads." Common energy efficiency opportunities are also covered. This outline includes a course description, learning outcomes, course topics, types of assignments, and textbooks and resources needed. Topics covered include an introduction, energy-consuming equipment, commercial kitchens, commercial kitchen equipment, and common energy efficiency measures.

After completing the course, students should be able to:

• Describe the types of facilities that contain high energy-use equipment, and evaluate why these are of interest to commercial building auditors.
• Summarize the types of equipment in commercial kitchens, describe energy efficiency opportunities within commercial kitchens, and assess the challenges to implementing many of them.
• Summarize the types of equipment in grocery stores, describe the energy efficiency opportunities within grocery stores, and assess the challenges to implementing many of them.
• Summarize the types of equipment in offices, describe the energy efficiency opportunities within offices, and assess the challenges to implementing many of them.
• Categorize equipment that contributes to vampire loads, and assess energy efficiency opportunities.
