This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on how to improve water management, reduce property water use, and subsequently improve EPA Water Score.
Bathrooms offer a clear opportunity for properties to save significant amounts of water. Use of toilets, faucets, showerheads, and other sanitary fixtures in the bathroom suite typically represent a significant percentage of water use in properties. Replacing bathroom fixtures with water-efficient products, and WaterSense labeled products when applicable, can provide the most significant opportunity for water and energy savings, particularly in older buildings with inefficient fixtures.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical and sustainability engineers, as well as other technical personnel who are interested in improving water management and minimizing wastewater.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Knowing the background and importance of water management for bathrooms
- Familiarizing with bathroom maintenance best management practices
- Understanding water savings calculations for toilets, bathroom sink faucets, bath and shower diverters, and showerheads
- Knowing the replacement options when installing new toilet fixtures or replacing old, inefficient products

This online engineering PDH course provides basic information on LED troffer retrofit lighting and controls best practices.
Lighting use constitutes about 20% of the total source electricity consumption in commercial buildings. Most of the lighting in U.S. commercial buildings is provided by fluorescent troffer ceiling fixtures. There are currently over 350 million installed troffers using more than 65 million kWh (the annual energy usage of 6 million U.S. homes).
Retrofitting these fluorescent troffers to light-emitting diode (LED) sources offers the potential for enormous energy savings. As of 2015, only 5% of the troffers in use had LED light sources. At a project level, retrofitting or replacing fluorescent troffers with LEDs can result in energy savings of 20% to 60% and help agencies meet energy-efficiency goals.
This 1 PDH online course is applicable to environmental engineers who are interested in gaining knowledge about LED retrofit kits, TLEDs, and lighting controls best practices.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Familiarizing with the different options of retrofitting existing fluorescent troffer fixtures with LEDs
- Familiarizing with the different types of tubular LEDs and their characteristics
- Gaining a general overview of the features of retrofit kits including installation time requirements, efficacy, and controls
- Learning about the factors to consider when installing new luminaires including existing condition of luminaires, equipment purchase costs, energy savings, installation labor costs, ceiling plenum access, light levels
- Understanding the importance of color characteristics of the light from the troffer and the measurements used to describe lighting
- Learning about the different types of lighting controls and their characteristics

This online engineering PDH course introduces the different types of solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels commonly fired in industrial, commercial and institutional boilers. It describes the characteristics of fossil and non-fossil fuels with emphasis on coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, and refuse-derived fuels (RDFs). This course also presents the principle emissions from combustion boilers that are regulated under the Clean Air Act (
This 2 PDH online course is applicable to mechanical engineers, designers, contractors, building professionals, and manufacturers who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the various boiler fuels and their emissions.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the different types of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels commonly fired in boilers
- Knowing the four principle emissions from combustion boilers; nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM) and carbon monoxide (CO)
- Learning how to maximize efficiency by understanding combustion losses and boiler losses
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review Chapter 3, "Fuels, Emissions, and Efficiency" of the Department of Energy (DOE) Publication "Guide to Low-Emission Boiler and Combustion Equipment Selection".

This online PDH course presents the basics of motor and drive systems and briefly describes important terms, relationships, and system design considerations. It also provides a roadmap for finding opportunities to improve motor performance, as well as exploring the economics of motor systems.
Electric motors, taken together, make up the single largest end use of electricity in the United States. In the U.S. manufacturing sector, electric motors used for machine drives such as pumps, conveyors, compressors, fans, mixers, grinders, and other materials handling or processing equipment account for about 54% of electricity consumption.
To achieve cost-effective operation and maintenance of a motor and drive system, operators must pay attention to the entire system as well as to its individual components. Often, when investigating efficiency opportunities, operators are so focused on the immediate demands of this equipment that they overlook the bigger picture, which includes the ways in which system parameters affect all the equipment.
This 6 PDH online course is intended for electrical and mechanical engineers, contractors, manufacturers, building professionals and others interested in learning more about improving motor and drive system performance.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Detecting the indications of a poor system design
- Learning about the different types of electric motors
- Understanding motor operating characteristics
- Selecting motors and drives for their corresponding applications
