ENVSC 385 - Introduction to Sustainable Energy
Credits: 4
An introduction to sustainable energy production and consumption. We survey a number of consumable energy resources and consider the tradeoffs between different modes of energy production. Our study begins by examining personal energy consumption due to transportation, heating and cooling, electricity consumption, and the production of goods, services, and food. We then discuss a number of energy production technologies and use our understanding to develop local, national, and global energy plans. A lab component provides an opportunity to construct and characterize sustainable energy systems and experiment with original forms of energy production.
