Environmental Technology Awareness


What will I learn?


You will gain an understanding of different environmental technologies and an overview of how they operate. You will learn how these technologies can be integrated into existing systems, and how to decide which technologies may be best for a particular application.

Specifically, the course covers:

  • The fundamental working principles, advantages and disadvantages of environmental technologies, including micro-renewable energy and water conservation
  • What’s needed relating to a building’s location and its features for the most efficient and economical installation of environmental technologies
  • Regulatory requirements relating to installation of environmental technologies, including microrenewable energy and water conservation
  • Factors associated with selection of environmental technologies, including integration and retrofit to existing systems.
