Benchmarking and Assessment of Energy Performance for Existing Buildings University or college senior-level undergraduate or graduate course, developed by ASHRAE, on building energy auditing and analysis using the ASHRAE Building EQ rating system as a learning framework. Students will experience project-based learning through hands-on engineering in real buildings under the guidance of industry professionals. See: www.ashrae.org/educationalresources ASHRAE has developed a new university course on building energy auditing and analysis using the ASHRAE Building EQ rating system as a learning framework. This course is a traditional three-credit college course for upper-level undergraduate or graduate students with previous coursework in both thermal sciences (or building physics) and building mechanical/electrical systems. Potential students could be in engineering, engineering technology, architecture, construction management, or environmental studies. The course: Involves 10 weeks of classroom instruction followed by 5 weeks of hands-on field work in teams under the guidance of local industry mentors. Revolves around a representative campus or community building for each student team Is intended to be a partnership between local ASHRAE organizations and an academic department and instructor. , ASHRAE can provide professional mentors for student teams as well as a potential co-instructor with extensive domain knowledge for the course. Buildings for energy auditing could be provided through the institution’s Facilities Management organization or could be drawn from local community facilities (e.g., homeless shelters, public housing, food banks).
