[**UPDATED**] OpenFOAM: From Modeling to Programming

**Now with slides transcripts for all micro-lectures**This course provides an introductory to intermediate level foundation of knowledge on the main renewable sustainable energy options for buildings, from small single family dwellings to large commercial buildings in all climates.The first series of lectures cover the concepts and terms used in industry around renewable and sustainable energy sources systems as well as introducing benchmarks for building energy end uses to support evaluation of technologies covered in the course. The second series of lectures focuses on options that provide heating taking the learner through how they operate, what factors affect their performance and some output estimations that can be used to begin general evaluation. This series begins with a lecture looking into the types of heating demands in buildings including the key metrics as well as benchmark values and sources.The third series of lectures turns the focus onto sustainable cooling options for buildings, beginning with a lecture on cooling energy demands including benchmarking values and sources. The fourth series focus is on sustainable options for generating electricity including benchmarking sources and the equipment needed to convert and distribute onsite generated electricity within a building and supplying to a regional or national network grid.The fifth series introduces sustainable options that provide a combination of thermal and electric energy known as combined heat power (CHP) or combined cooling, heat power (CCHP) as well as hybrid solar PV thermal (PVT) systems.Completing this course a learner will be able to both determine the potential suitability of these renewable sustainable energy options for a new build or retrofit project and identify what factors will need to be addressed for their successful application. The content includes typical values for general building energy demands and for thermal and

The inspiration comes from nature- where waste becomes a resource, a nutrient and an economic asset.This course introduces you to the fundamentals of solid waste management, focusing on the best practices to mitigate climate change, pollution and reduce volumes of waste. It also provides clarity on the principles of zero waste, with the help of several examples and case studies.At the end of the course, you’ll be able to assess the potential of different waste management systems in getting to zero waste goals.

This course covers the design of control schemes and implementation inside a DCS or PLC. The course covers how to design and implement various advanced control schemes using real plant examples. The course shows you how to conceptualize the design of APC schemes for maximizing production rates, minimizing utilities, developing schemes to improve the plant’s operating efficiencies, protecting equipment from overloading, and avoiding shutdowns. The course discusses how to build both standard and custom function blocks inside any DCS or PLC. This includes batch control, continuous control, and sequence control. The course takes specific examples of how to build complex and advanced control schemes using a variety of standard and custom blocks in the DCS or PLC.Learning Outcomes:At the end of this course, students will have the skills to design and build continuous and batch control schemes inside any DCS/PLC. They will have the ability to look at a process flow diagram or P ID and based on operations goals and objectives, design and implement the appropriate control schemes inside any DCS or PLC. Students will also have the skills to mathematically compute the various tuning parameters and control parameters for the control schemes. The course teaches how to provide automation to stabilize the process operation, how to maximize production, minimize cheaper byproducts, minimize utilities, minimize environmental emissions, increase profit margins and improve key performance indicators. You can develop many powerful APC schemes in any DCS or PLC with the knowledge from this course and achieve the goals and objectives of plant management.
