Energy Management I:
A new hands-on green course
The emerging green energy industry promises plentiful jobs, and Pellissippi State is now offering in-the-classroom green courses for those wanting an introduction to the newest technologies and retrofitting concepts.
Energy Management I is the first hands-on green course available through Business and Community Services. BCS began providing green courses online in January.
The course is offered on two different dates: May 28 and August 20. Both classes are 1-5 p.m. at the Pellissippi Campus.
“This class is ideal for people wanting to enter the green energy industry, as well as for homeowners, business owners and those in charge of managing facilities,” said Brad Coburn, director of BCS’ Industrial and Contract Training.
Energy Management I is designed to help those enrolled make sound, cost-effective energy management and investment practices that result in energy savings and a healthier environment. Lighting economics, methods of conditioning workspaces and building automation systems will be covered.
The course is the first in a new series, Coburn says. Energy Management II will be offered September 24 and Energy Management III, October 22.
