Our dependence on electricity significantly impacts environmental quality and resource conservation. In commercial buildings, lighting alone accounts for 25 to 30 percent of total energy consumption. This energy usage not only demands considerable resources but also generates excess heat, leading to increased reliance on air conditioning, which further escalates energy consumption.
In this course, participants will examine the fundamental principles of system design, focusing on energy efficiency and sustainability. They will learn about various power sources, including renewable and non-renewable options, and how they influence system design choices. We’ll also delve into the design process, covering key considerations for optimizing energy use and minimizing environmental impact. Additionally, we'll explore system components and end-point devices, understanding their roles in overall energy efficiency.
By the end of this course, they will be equipped with the knowledge to design and implement energy-efficient systems that contribute to resource conservation and environmental sustainability. By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Define the basic principles for designing safe electrical systems.
- Describe the sources available for producing energy-efficient power.
- Explain the design process for developing adequate, dependable electrical systems.
- Discuss the various aspects of circuit design for safe, multi-use residential and commercial spaces.
- Identify the components that comprise easily accessible, maintainable, and expandable carrier systems.
- List user-friendly end-point devices that contribute to a comfortable and manageable electrical system.
