sustainable design courses provide faculty-led, interactive, college-level
instruction in a fully online format. The BAC sustainable design
curriculum offers the opportunity to learn about the many ways
in which buildings interact with the natural environment and the
choices available to make that interaction positive. Courses can
be taken individually or as part of the sustainable design certification
program (CSD and GCSD).

Near Red Line 7th St station; DASH and MTA buses.
Bernie Kotlier will be presenting an introduction to concentration
solar thermal technologies, developed by E-Cube Energy Tech, a
company from the Bay Area. Three types of concentration models
have been developed and are ready to deploy: a quasi two dimensional
(2D) focusing modular heliostat model with high optical-to-thermal
conversion efficiency and high temperature output at low cost,
and two types of one dimensional focusing models with high flat
area usage efficiency at extremely low cost. The 2D model is suitable
for large area deployment with large scale electricity generation
with Levelized Cost of Energy close to fossil fuel. The other
two 1D types are suitable for building top and parking lot canopy
installation as low-cost solar air-conditioning applications.
Kotlier is the director of Green Energy Solutions for the Califonia
Labor Management Cooperation Committee, a joint effort of the
National Electrical Contractors Association and the International
Brotherhood of Electrical Workers in California. His presentation
will focus on the working principle and cost structure of the
1D types. |
