In Unit 3 we will examine Building Energy and Water Management. Every building/facility has unique (and often proprietary) energy and water systems, corresponding operation and maintenance requirements… These functions are explicably interactive. Therein energy potential savings abound. In this unit we introduce fundamentals of building energy and building water management. Previously in Unit 2 we examined Building Controls and Automation. In Unit 2 we introduced those fundamentals of building systems controls and its automation. High performing buildings are more efficient, with less rejected energy and other forms of basic energy waste. The resulting efficiencies mean lower operating cost and appropriate maintenance. In this educational Unit 3, we will cover the five (four in Lesson 1, and the fifth – Building Water in Lesson 2) building energy consuming systems. The five building system opportunities are:
