This project provides
an opportunity for the participating students to review, assess, recommend
and implement energy efficiency measures at Rowan. It has been partly funded
by a grant from the New Jersey
Higher Education Partnership for Sustainability (NJ HEPS) and the Facilities
Planning Department of Rowan University. The course offers students an
opportunity to assess the building envelope, HVAC system, or other energy
consuming devices within a university building on campus. Also, student teams can focus on the use of
advanced power systems (photovoltaics, wind and fuel cells) to assist the
university in meeting its greenhouse gas reduction targets. Lectures will
include learning basic efficiency audit techniques, energy consumption,
building heat loss characteristics, data collection methods and equipment
(for electricity, temperature, humidity, lighting levels, etc.). Students will also learn how to identify
and recommend specific improvements to the buildings or systems they are
investigating. Their results will be
presented to the Rowan
University Energy
Review Panel coordinated by Mr. John Imperatore, PE of Facilities. Work will
be managed by the instructors but will be individually carried out by team
members during their laboratory periods 12.15-3.00 pm each Monday.
