This course will also discuss case studies of EISA implementation.
Course Objectives
At the end of this course, you will be able to:
  • Explore how the Energy Independence and Security Act 2007 has changed sustainable building requirements for federal facilities, including comprehensive energy and water evaluations and benchmarking.
  • Identify the key Sections of EISA 2007, including: building performance, Energy Savings Performance Contracts reducing petroleum/increasing alternative fuel use, and energy efficient product procurement.
  • Comprehend the importance of the inclusion of energy and water mandates within EISA 2007, including how buildings shall be designed so that the fossil fuel-generated energy consumption of the buildings is reduced.
  • Identify new technologies and design approaches from case studies implementing EISA 2007 requirements.
