How to Think About Energy in Buildings – Self Study

This course bundle is Marc Rosenbaum’s guide to thinking about, calculating, and prioritizing enclosures, mechanical systems, and renewables in new and existing buildings. It’s designed for professionals and teams working on buildings of any size.

Because firms have gotten bigger and jobs have become more specialized, very few building professionals have mastery of these three subjects:

  1. Enclosures (Thermal)
  2. Mechanical Systems
  3. Renewables

But if you can learn to see the ways these things interact, your solutions become more creative!

You’ll be given the context, calculators, and mindset needed to understand second and third-order effects of the decisions you make about energy in buildings. You’ll learn to speak a common language with the building science ‘geeks’ who can see the interconnection of these specialties.
