Energy & Sustainability
Sustainability claims need numbers behind them. These courses teach the core calculations: where energy goes in a building or process, how much a measure really saves, and where the emissions in a product's life cycle come from. You build each analysis yourself and the checker confirms every step.
The 6 courses cover product carbon footprints across life-cycle stages, energy audits from lighting and motors to heat pumps with verified savings, and off-grid solar systems from the load list to battery and panel sizing. Solar project finance, battery storage economics and ESG topics are found in the industry, business and finance categories.
Energy & SustainabilityCalculate a fictional kettle's footprint from cradle to grave: functional unit and reference flow, bill of materials with scrap, factory energy allocation, tonne-kilometres, a use phase on a falling grid factor, end of life with recycling credits, hotspots and a redesign check against a target, with every cell checked as you go.
Energy & SustainabilityAudit a fictional workshop like an energy auditor: an energy balance with significant uses, kWh-per-unit indicators, an LED retrofit, fans on variable speed drives, compressed-air leaks, boiler vs heat pump, a ranked measures list and savings verified with a regression baseline and a CUSUM chart, with every cell checked as you go.
Energy & SustainabilitySize a 12/24/48 V solar system for a cabin, van or boat from the load list to batteries, panels and cables, with every cell checked as you go.
Energy & SustainabilitySee how a power system clears: load curves, plant marginal costs, the merit order, renewable feed-in and reserve margins, with every cell checked as you go.
Energy & SustainabilityFollow hydrogen from electricity to product: electrolyser output, round-trip efficiency, storage volumes and the levelised cost per kilogram, with every cell checked as you go.
Follow a carbon credit from the project baseline to its retirement: reductions, deductions, vintages, project cash flow and a buyer's cost per tonne, with every cell checked as you go.
The labs use illustrative factors. For reporting, use the current factors from the standard or database your organisation follows.
The course teaches the method. Electrical installations must be designed and checked by a qualified installer under local rules.
Each course is a single purchase of $9.99. That covers every lesson and lab, the final exam and the certificate, with no subscription and nothing that renews.
