ABOUT THE COURSE
In this educational training course, participants will begin to explore the three main ways buildings use the energy that contributes to their energy bills. Participants will learn about these load types and get an introduction to the systems and machines that make a modern building function. This course also introduces basic thermodynamic concepts and discusses several real-world situations where energy conservation goals and building function collided. Participants will explore common building energy usages and will hear about various measurement practices and best practices for evaluating loads to enhance energy efficiency. Residential building types typically include: Multi-family housing, apartment buildings, high rise and low rise condos or co-ops.

Who Should Attend
Attendees typically include: building operators, building owners, property managers, maintenance team, residential energy auditors, residential energy facility contractors, workforce development program participants along with entry-level energy, facility and sustainability professionals wishing to expand their skills.

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the main ways in which a building uses energy.
  • Explain the basic systems that make a site function.
  • Discuss at a high-level what energy users need when it comes to energy management at the facility level.

A prequel to Jedi Fallen Order
Format: Kindle
It’s an interesting read to see Cere Junda and her master Eno Cordova trying to find secrets in hidden temple while tension builds between two civilizations. A typical story about outsiders involved between two societies battling share one land, while trying to find a balance, what have you, it’s not bad and I did like what they we’re going with, it’s just been done before. All in all, a decent story in a galaxy far, far away.

Another "fine" videogame tie-in.
Format: Paperback
“Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order - Dark Temple” (wow, that’s a mouthful of a title) is the requisite comic book tie-in to the “Star Wars: Jedi: Fallen Order” videogame that was released last month, to which this serves as a prequel. And, like most of Marvel’s “Star Wars” output, it falls squarely into the category of being“perfectly adequate” – the story is diverting enough, without ever being truly gripping, and the characters have just enough personality and quirk to disguise the fact that they’re basically just engines to keep the story moving. Really, the only thing about “Dark Temple” that rises above the level of 'competent' is the art by Paolo Villanelli, which mixes dichotomous colors with sharp line work to meld into something that’s genuinely striking and distinct. Fans of “Fallen Order” might be apt to see what some of their favorite characters were up in the years preceding the game’s story, but rest assured: story-wise, there’s not much to glean here, outside of one or two teasing allusions. Die-hard fans of “Star Wars” will probably enjoy this well enough; anyone else probably need not read.
