8 Hours of Instruction: Earns 0.8 CEU / 8 PDH
Now accepting registrations for program beginning September 20, 2010
Presented online in a series of four live two-hour time modules, this seminar is designed to involve you in a systematic approach to slashing energy costs, pollution and carbon emissions in steam systems, and with waste heat recovery.

You can participate in the seminar from your office, home, or anywhere you have access to the internet and a phone. You'll have opportunities to interact with your instructor and colleagues in real time during the four live teleconferencing sessions.

ABOUT THE SEMINAR

AIA Learning Units Eligible


This course has been approved by AIA for continuing education credits. The Association of Energy Engineers is now an approved training provider within the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Continuing Education Systems (CES) Registered Provider program. The AIA requires that its registered architect members earn 18 Learning Unit (LU) hours of continuing education credit annually (eight hours of which must be related to Health, Safety, and Welfare topics and four of those eight in Sustainable Design) to remain in good standing. Architectural boards in 40 states, 10 Canadian Provinces, and 19 countries have implemented mandatory continuing education (MCE) for re-licensure.

This important program presents an analysis of how to uncover and correct unnecessary steam system energy losses, and reduce unnecessary carbon emissions and pollution. It also has special sections on waste heat recovery and measuring combustion products. Specifically the course is about:

  • Understanding and simplifying the complexities of steam systems
  • Waste heat recovery opportunities
  • Combustion measurements
  • Increasing your company's profits
  • Reduced fuel costs and conserving energy
  • Reliable steam system performance
  • Reducing your carbon footprint

These goals are all accomplised by understanding and managing thermal system performance. When conditions are not observable or known, the assumption is often made that they are negligible. In steam systems most of the losses are not observable, yet are far from negligible -- they are usually very large losses. Steam systems waste a lot of energy and money in an expensive "disappearing act," quietly shrinking operating budgets and profits. Also, steam systems compound losses by causing additional boiler losses of over 20%, as well as additional costs to replace wasted heat, steam, chemicals, water and recyclable heat. This program also coverse waste heat recovery, along with combustion measurements and analysis. Instructed by one of the nation's most highly regarded boiler and steam system efficiency experts, this program will give you an understanding of:

  • The eight basic ways steam systems waste energy
  • Rules of thumb and general concepts of boiler and steam system efficiency
  • Steam traps: the major source of steam system problems
  • Design and function of steam traps
  • How water chemistry affects steam trapping systems
  • Steam trap inspection and maintenance programs
  • Waste heat recovery / combustion analysis and measurement
  • Air heaters
  • Economizers which raise efficiency 5% to 6%
  • How condensing steam formed by the combustion process can boost efficiency by 15% to as high as 98%
