Purpose of Training
The word “Green” has entered our daily lives. We read about it in the news, see it on TV and hear about it on the radio, but what is it and how does it affect us?
When it comes to mechanicals, (HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical) “Green” means fuel and energy efficiency, renewable and sustainable fuel source, and water conservation.
Everyone wants to reduce energy costs while maintaining their lifestyle.
Both employers and consumers want to be Green and reduce energy consumption. They want you to be aware of the various methods employed in reducing energy consumption
and conserving water. They want you to be knowledgeable about new technologies. This course is designed to provide the attendee with a basic understanding of Green concept,
terminology, systems, and the latest technology.

Training Manual
When it comes to mechanicals, (HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical) “Green” means maximizing the energy efficiency of existing equipment, specifying the most efficient systems available
for the application and the available budget, using renewable and sustainable fuel sources, and conserving water.
Both commercial and residential owners want to be Green and reduce energy consumption. In fact, everyone wants to reduce their energy costs.
Consumers want contractors and technicians to be aware of the various methods employed in reducing energy consumption and conserving water. They want contractors and
technicians who are knowledgeable about energy conserving methods and new technologies.
