The Solar Decathlon Building Science Education series is designed to educate students and working professionals on building science principles that are paramount to the successful design of high-performance, energy-efficient buildings. In Module 6, plug, process, and other miscellaneous loads in a building are discussed, and we explain why they are an important part of the design problem..
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, attendees will be able to:
- Understand plug and process loads why they play an increasing large role in building energy consumption;
- Name and discuss various strategies for reducing plug loads in computers, electronics, appliances, and other plug load sub-end uses;
- Discuss some standards and programs that exist to reduce plug and process load consumption;
- Analyze a case study of plug and process load reduction in a commercial office building.
