CIT 110 - Energy Efficiency Technician
2.0 Credits Introduction to building science with emphasis on the energy envelope. Become familiar with typical energy auditor’s tools: blower door, infrared camera and CO analyzer to measure and evaluate a building’s energy performance. Prerequisite: Concurrent enrollment in and or or instructor permission.
Course-level Learning Objectives (CLOs) Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
- Set up, run and use the results of a blower door test to evaluate a building’s air tightness. [REASON]
- Set up, run and use a blower door/manometer to test and evaluate combustion appliance zones, actual performance on ventilation fans and a forced air system’s ductwork for relative air tightness. [REASON]
- Use an infrared camera to locate a building’s air exfiltration and verify insulation effectiveness. [REASON]
- Analyze and compute a safe level of building air tightness based on industry standards. [REASON]
- Inspect, test and evaluate a combustion appliance and conduct a combustion appliance zone worst case test. [REASON]
