GRB 160 - Energy Auditor 3 cr.

Energy Auditor provides students with the skills and knowledge needed to understand comprehensive residential energy audits. Recent emphasis on healthy homes, sustainability and energy efficiency requires a scientific approach to evaluating a home’s performance. Students learn a “whole-house” approach in the analysis of new and existing construction. Using building science principles, students will gain the knowledge needed to identify heat loss, efficiency, moisture and health problems at their root causes, then learn to prescribe and prioritize cost-effective solutions. Prerequisite: High School diploma or equivalent.
