Energy Management and Building Science
A.S. Degree
The A.S. degree in Energy Management and Building
Science will prepare students for new and emerging career opportunities in energy management technology, building energy audit, facilities management, building design and sustainability and renewable energy systems. Completion of the degree program provides students with a skilled knowledge of energy efficiency principles and prepares them for careers
in managing and monitoring energy efficient buildings. The program curriculum is aligned with professional certifications offered by the International Facilities Management Association (IFMA), including Facilities Management Professional (FMP) and Sustainable Facilities Professional (SFP). Students will also be well prepared for the certification test for Renewable (Solar) Energy Professional offered by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP).
Program Learning Outcomes - upon completion, students will be able to:
• Investigate and analyze energy use and its relationship to
non-renewable energy extraction, production, distribution,
consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Apply an understanding of energy management and building
science principles, techniques and strategies, the laws of thermodynamics and the sustainable use of resources supporting the built environment.
• Demonstrate knowledge of the above objectives and strategically conceptualize and implement efficient and sustainable energy management policies, procedures and systems in residential and commercial buildings.
• Engage with key stakeholders in energy management and building science occupations including the public, government agencies, public industry, manufacturing and non profits to enhance, improve and advocate for global, cultural, social and environmental health and well being.

Environmental Resource Management and Pollution Prevention
Certificate of Achievement
In this career-oriented program, students are trained in the interrelated fields of environmental resource management (sustainable multiple-use management of our fundamental environmental resources – air, water, land, food and extracted materials) and pollution prevention. The training received is multidisciplinary, covering the areas of law and regulation, public health, economics and science and technology,
and includes coursework covering a variety of practical management tools that employers look for. Upon completion, students are prepared for employment as entry-level environmental management or pollution prevention specialists in a wide range of positions and settings, including working for business, government and nonprofit organizations. This certificate is the first step in a career ladder whereby students can optionally choose to later complete a Certificate of Achievement-Advanced and finally an A.A. degree.
Program Learning Outcomes - upon completion, students will be able to:
• Identify fundamental environmental management/pollution
prevention issues and apply sustainable solutions.
