Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy: Resource Conservation and Recovery
This online engineering PDH course describes how local governments can help achieve environmental goals by encouraging source reduction and the reuse of products and materials, as well as composting and recycling wastes generated by their communities. This course describes the process of developing and implementing resource conservation and recovery measures, using real-world examples.
The aforementioned strategies are collectively known as resource conservation and recovery and have as their aim a reduction in waste management costs, air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and energy consumption.
This 3 PDH online course is intended for civil, electrical, environmental, mechanical, and municipal engineers concerned with reducing the environmental impact of their local government through the introduction of sustainable technologies.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Learning about source reduction and reuse
- Learning about recycling and composting
- Learning about waste treatment with energy recovery
- Learning about landfilling and incineration without energy recovery
- Learning about strategies for effective program implementation
- Familiarizing with costs and funding opportunities
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy: Resource Conservation and Recovery” which is based on the Environmental Protection Agency document, “Resource Conservation and Recovery, A Guide to Developing and Implementing Greenhouse Gas Reduction Programs”, from the EPA’s Local Government Climate and Energy Strategy Series, 2013.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20) questions to earn 3 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on this EPA publication.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)
