Energy Conservation

Schoolcraft's Energy Conservation series shows how to recognize where energy losses occur so that proper corrective measures can be taken. Students will learn about energy conservation in heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems as well as in the building structure itself�walls, ceilings, and floors. In addition, the program demonstrates how to conduct an energy audit so students can quantify the options available and determine the payback period for each option.
