Sustainable design requires engineers, architects, owners, and facility managers to work as a team to provide high-quality, productive environments for people while considering the impact of their design on the environment. The LEED™ (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) rating system is an excellent framework for quantifying the sustainability of buildings.
This course focuses on sustainable design and operation of four major systems used in buildings: plumbing, fire protection, illumination, and noise and vibration control. It covers the science by which each system operates, descriptions of the many system and equipment options available, guidelines for appropriate selection in given applications, and exercises and case studies to reinforce the material.
Topics are introduced to individuals who have little background on the subject while also providing a valuable resource for personnel with experience in mechanical and electrical systems in buildings.
"The instructor presented content at a good pace with many exercises to ensure we understood. Very interactive with the class."
"Very good — illustrative — industrial examples supported by detailed calculations."

Yes. If your organization has particular equipment, systems, or applications you want the course to focus on, we can tailor the content to address your specific requirements. Custom delivery is priced based on the scope of customization and the number of participants. Contact us to discuss your needs and we will develop a proposal that works for you.
The course covers four major systems: plumbing (water supply, distribution, fixtures), fire protection (detection, alarm, suppression), illumination (lighting equipment and design), and noise and vibration control (acoustics and vibration isolation).
Yes. The course is designed for a broad audience including architects, facility managers, and technical personnel with little background on the subject. It does not assume prior engineering training in these systems.
Yes. This course is PEO PEAK compliant and provides 22 formal CPD hours (2.2 CEUs), all qualifying as core engineering learning.
This course is complementary to the HVAC courses but covers different building systems — plumbing, fire protection, lighting, and acoustics rather than heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. Engineers who take both gain a comprehensive understanding of all major mechanical systems in buildings.
