Commercial Heat Pump Water Heaters Overview The commercial HPWH is one of many energy-efficient technologies which have been carried through the R&D stage and brought to market. A heat pump water heater is an effective and efficient way to provide hot water for commercial buildings. The system uses a water heating heat pump to move heat from a cool reservoir such as air and transfer this heat into water. The system employs  more...

Design of Commercial Buildings to Mitigate Terrorist Attacks Overview The purpose of this course is to introduce concepts that can help building designers and building owners to mitigate the threat of terrorist attacks on new buildings. This course specifically addresses four high-population, private-sector building types: commercial office, retail, multi-family residential, and light industrial, although many of the concepts presented are also  more...

Tsunamis Generation and Propagation This course on ? Tsunamis: Generation and Propagation? is presented as a complement to course C-3008 on ? Earthquakes and Tsunamis: Fundamental Concepts? for the benefit of those students who want to learn more about this particularly devastating natural phenomenon. Whereas Course C-3008 addressed primarily the topic of earthquakes, this course addresses primarily the topic of tsunamis. This  more...

Air Pollution Control Ventilation Equipment The type of equipment needed to convey waste gas are the same for most kinds of control devices. These are: (1) hoods, (2) ductwork, (3) stacks, and (4) fans. Together, these items comprise a ventilation system. A hood is used to capture the emissions at the source; ductwork, to convey them to the control device; a stack, to disperse them after they leave the device; and a fan, to provide the  more...

Radionuclides in Drinking Water - Regulations Treatment and Residual Disposal Overview The revised Radionuclides Rule came into effect on December 8, 2003. U.S. EPA's revisions to the Rule provide standards that, if met, ensure that all customers served by community water systems (CWSs) receive water that meets the Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for radionuclides in drinking water. In accordance with the Rule, all CWSs must complete initial compliance monitoring  more...

Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control Overview Erosion and sedimentation related to construction site storm water runoff can significantly affect receiving water's fish population and associated habitat. Alterations in hydraulic characteristics of streams receiving runoff include higher peak flow rates, increased frequency and duration of bankfull and subbankfull flows, increased occurrences of downstream flooding, and reduced  more...

Filter Backwash Recycling Rule - Practical Guidance Overview The Filter Backwash Recycling Rule (FBRR) under the Safe Drinking Water Act establishes regulatory provisions governing the way that certain recycle streams are handled within the treatment processes of conventional and direct filtration water treatment systems. The FBRR also establishes reporting and recordkeeping requirements for recycle practices that will allow States and EPA to  more...

Seismic Restraints for Electrical Equipment Overview Earthquakes are more likely to occur in some parts of the world than others. When buildings are constructed in areas where seismic activity is likely to occur the building codes and standards require seismic bracing of electrical equipment. The selection and specification of products for installation of electrical equipment in seismic zones requires some basic understanding of how the  more...

RoHS and WEEE - Reducing Toxicity and Waste in Electronic Product Design Overview "On December 4th of 2001, CNN reported on the Netherlands government's seizure of 1.3 million Sony Playstation game machines. The estimated value of the items seized was $162 million US. The reason: Cadmium in some of the cables..." With the price of consumer electronic products becoming more affordable with shorter life cycles, the effects of waste and toxicity to our  more...

Professional Ethics for Texas Engineers - Revised for 2008 Under the Texas Engineering Practice Act each engineer licensed in the state must spend at least one professional development hour each year reviewing professional ethics and the roles and responsibilities for Engineers. In this course the student will study pages 49-64 of the Texas Engineering Practice Act and Board Rules (December 2007 revision) and review some of the recent disciplinary  more...

Energy Sources for the Future Overview Throughout its history, the Department of Energy's Office of Science has designed, constructed, and operated many of the Nation's most advanced, large-scale research and development user facilities, of importance to all areas of science. These state-of-the-art facilities are shared with the science community worldwide and contain technologies and instrumentation that are  more...

High Temperature Water Heating Systems Overview High temperature heating water systems have numerous advantages over steam heat distribution systems. The inherent losses of a steam system mean that significant fuel savings in a high temperature heating water system may be achieved relative to an equivalent capacity steam system. As energy rates continue to climb, alternate types of central plant heating concepts should be  more...

Seismic Restraints for Mechanical Equipment Overview Earthquakes are more likely to occur in some parts of the world than others. When buildings are constructed in areas where seismic activity is likely to occur the building codes and standards require seismic bracing of mechanical equipment. The selection and specification of products for installation of mechanical equipment in seismic zones requires some basic understanding of how the  more...

Desiccant Dehumidification Wheel Testing Overview Desiccant cooling systems are energy efficient and environmentally benign. Desiccant systems allow more fresh air into buildings, thus improving indoor air quality without using more energy. Desiccant systems also displace chlorofluorocarbon-based cooling equipment, the emissions from which contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. In this course the student will  more...

Seismic Restraints for Duct and Pipe Overview Earthquakes are more likely to occur in some parts of the world than others. When buildings are constructed in areas where seismic activity is likely to occur the building codes and standards require seismic bracing of ducts and pipes. The selection and specification of products for installation of ducts and pipes in seismic zones requires some basic understanding of how the  more...

Kitchen Makeup Air A universal concern regarding the commercial kitchen space is having an effective ventilation system. A large portion of kitchen ventilation planning is dedicated to properly exhausting cooking effluent. Appliance layout and the energy input are evaluated, hoods are located and specified, the ductwork size and routing are determined, and exhaust fans are specified to remove the proper volume of  more...

Explosives Safety Overview Department of Energy (DOE) policy requires that all DOE activities be conducted in a manner that protects the safety of the public and provides a safe and healthful workplace for employees. DOE has also prescribed that all personnel be protected in any explosives operation undertaken. The level of safety provided shall be at least equivalent to that of the best industrial practice. The  more...
