Lead and Remodeling
–This
course describes why the remodler should be concerned
about lead, related laws, where lead can be found,
lead testing, personal protective equipment,how to
contain lead dust in the work place,how to plan the
work and supervisry/business issues. (CILB;

Lighting – Covers
various lighting criteria that equip buildings with
appropriate energy efficient and cost effective lighting
systems.(CILB 0001755;) 2 CEH's
Lighting and Energy Management for Commercial Buildings, Units 1, 2, and 3 – Unit 1 modules explain commercial interior and exterior lighting systems, lighting sensors and controls, building energy codes and standards, utility rates and structures and audit procedures, equipment and safety. Unit 2 modules explain energy monitoring systems, building commissioning, life cycle assessment and performance contracting and smart grids. Unit 3 modules employs five case studies in different commercial building/property scenarios may be used by the instructor for participants to develop and present business plans for a lighting retrofit according to the customers stated needs. Comprehensive material lists (lighting products with specs) and utility rate schedules are provided in the appendixes for developing the business plan. An assumed labor, overhead and recycling cost for fixtures are provided in each case study so the participant can develop a business case to present to the customer that includes payback and return on the investment numbers.These three courses are intended to provide the participant with an introduction to the information and tools necessary to perform a comprehensive audit of commercial building lighting systems.(CILB 0609960,0609961,7 CEHs CEH's; AR 9878248, 9878247, 7 CEHs and 9878246, 6 CEHs )

Impact Development (LID) Practices for Florida: Stormwater
–Includes
an overview of Florida's fast growing urbanization,
its impact on water quality and quantity, and the
laws regulating these issues. Low impact development
stormwater practices are covered in detail including:
conveyance and treatment (swales, curb cuts, bioretention,
etc.), volume controls (permeable pavements, exfiltration,
green roofs, etc.), resource efficient irrigation
(soil moisture sensors, stormwater reuse, etc.), and
nutrient source controls (Florida-friendly landscapes,
operations and maintenance, etc.). (FBPE 4028; BOLA

Residential Duct Design Calculations
– The overall goal of the class is for the contractor
to have a better understanding on proper HVAC duct
sizing as it results to proper installation of equipment.
The manuals, handouts and course materials will provide
the contractor with the proper know-how to achieve
the above goal. The end result is to provide the information
and know-how for a HVAC contractor to perform residential
duct calculations using ACCA Manual D. At the end
of this class the contractor should be able to define
and give examples of properly sized duct distribution
systems.(CILB; FBPE 4028) 7 CEH's
Residential Heat Gain and Loss Calculations
– The overall goal of the class is for the contractor
to have a better understanding on proper HVAC sizing
as it results to proper installation of equipment.
The manuals, handouts and course materials will provide
the contractor with the proper know-how to achieve
the above goal. The end result is to provide the information
and know-how for a HVAC contractor to perform residential
heat loss and heat gain calculations using ACCA Manual
J. At the end of this class the contractor should
be able to define and give examples of properly sized
HVAC systems.(CILB; FBPE 4028) 7 CEH's
Site Considerations and Passive
Building Design – Considers how proper
