MEP Energy Savings 12 PDH Discount Package

This online engineering PDH course describes a wide variety of sustainable concepts and practical ideas from design to facility operation that will help with the integration of the various systems within the building.  This course also explains that a key to successful integrated building design is the participation of people from different specialties of design:  general architecture, HVAC, lighting and electrical, interior design, and landscape design.  Although the reference text discusses Federal Facilities, the principles apply to all building types.  Part IV of this source material focuses on the building envelop and integrated design involving all disciplines of the engineering and architectural work.

Integrated building design is a process of design in which multiple disciplines and seemingly unrelated aspects of design are integrated in a manner that permits synergistic benefits to be realized. The goal is to achieve high performance and multiple benefits at a lower cost than the total for all the components combined.  This process often includes integrating green design strategies into conventional design criteria for building form, function, performance, and cost.

This 2 PDH online course is applicable to all engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding "green" integrated building design in general and more specifically for federal buildings.

This online engineering PDH course describes a wide variety of integrated sustainable concepts and practical ideas from design to facility operation that will help with the integration of the various systems within the building. Part V of this source document focuses on the energy using systems of a facility including HVAC, lighting, water heating, energy control, motors, etc.

In today's building industry the concept of integrated sustainable design has taken root and is branching out into full blossom.  Green is considered the responsible way to design.  Integrated design is a process whereby the various disciplines involved in design (architects, mechanical and electrical engineers, interior design professionals, etc.) work together to come up with design solutions that maximize performance, energy conservation, and environmental benefits.

This 8 PDH online course is applicable to all engineers, design and construction personnel, technical staff and facility personnel who are interested in gaining a better understanding "green" integrated building design in general and more specifically for federal buildings.

This online engineering PDH course describes a wide variety of sustainable concepts and practical ideas related to water and wastewater systems including discussions of water management concepts, plumbing design concepts, fixture selection considerations and more sophisticated concepts such as graywater collection and rainwater harvesting.  Although the reference text discusses Federal Facilities, the principles apply to all building types.  Part VI of this source material focuses on the water and waste water systems within a facility.

Sustainable design involves integration of multiple disciplines.  The goal of effective water management is to reduce water consumption without compromising the performance of equipment and fixtures. Using water more efficiently is a green strategy for several reasons: it reduces pressure on sometimes-limited water resources; it reduces the amount of energy and chemicals used for water and wastewater treatment; and to the extent that the use of hot water is reduced, increases energy savings with associated environmental benefits.
