Fuels I: Energy Sources and Trends
* List the energy sources chiefly used by buildings and industry
* Define primary, secondary and end use energy
* Describe renewable and non-renewable energy sources
* Summarize predicted trends in fuel consumption
* Discuss the advantages and implications of alternate fuels
* Evaluate the energy value and cost of fuels
Understanding fuels is fundamental to energy management, since trends in production, supply, and demand all affect pricing and availability, with critical effects on business results. Choosing between alternate fuels requires a sound knowledge of energy values and conversion calculations. In this course we will discuss the current energy sources chiefly used, define the different types of energy, discuss renewable and nonrenewable energy sources, and what the predicted trends are for future fuel consumption.
