Implementing Energy Efficiency Projects: From Concept to Contractor, Energy Efficiency Survey, and HVAC System Testing

This course will present several options that are available to help you survey and assess your current situation and to develop a plan for implementing energy efficiency projects. These activities represent different ways to assess a project, from the simple and high-level to more complex and detailed studies. These options also can be implemented to help you weigh your choices, determine an appropriate, economically viable direction to take, and after implementation, measure the savings.

Additionally we will cover practical information on how to conduct an energy use survey with the goal of discovering ways to save energy with lighting, motors, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. Materials include a comprehensive survey form and tools for gathering data, savings calculation worksheets, and information on baseline energy use comparisons with other buildings.

Today’s technology has made available many portable forms of instrumentation that can be used to evaluate air-conditioning refrigeration systems. System testing, sometimes known as commissioning, refers to getting the data you need to determine whether systems are functioning correctly. We will cover the relevant issues and available methods for field testing HVAC systems, and the use of specific instruments

David Wylie, PE, MBA | David Wylie Consulting

David Wylie has a wide range of energy engineering experience, including research, development, program design, measurement, feasibility study of electrical and mechanical systems, and energy supply for commercial and industrial facilities. He has a college teaching credential, teaches what he knows from experience, has more than 10,000 hours of classroom instruction experience, and has developed more than 100 individual classes in the past 30 years. David takes sophisticated engineering concepts and relates them in a way you can understand — in a friendly and practical way. 

Facing challenges with creative solutions is a way of life for David. He was the W of ASW Engineering, a group of partners who in 1976 began delivering expert engineering management for energy efficiency. The company sold in 2013 and David now works as an independent consultant. Several of David’s articles have been published in trade magazines, and he has written a book titled “New Refrigerants for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Systems.”  David has been recognized for innovations in engineering from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), Southern California Edison, and California’s governor.
