Description

ESET 1301 - Building Systems Reducing and conserving the energy consumed by a building requires working knowledge of typical building systems. Learners will undertake a focused study of building systems for residential applications. Through visual and non-destructive assessments, the learners will work through the development of accurate heating and cooling loads using a suite of software models developed by Natural Resources Canada. The course will focus its attention on typical building design, common building materials and the associated thermal performance. Using data collection and standardized forms learners will work towards preparing efficient building upgrades for existing buildings.
