Tools

HVAC ePrimer - a suite of Computer-Based Education tools, supports the advanced curriculum in Environmental Control Technology (ECT) being developed for Laney College under an NSF ATE grant.

Presentation: A Simulation-Based Testing and Training Environment for Building Controls -- To be used in supporting many of the community college courses being developed under this project.

EcoAdvisor -- Provides guidance on achieving sustainable buildings via a series of highly interactive training and decision-support modules. It will form the basis of a new interface to support the computer-based education modules developed under this project.

Energized Learning -- A web-based energy simulation curriculum for high school science education. To be used in the high school physics course being developed under this project.
