On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed into law the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) to preserve and create jobs, promote the nation’s economic recovery, and assist those most impacted by the recession. The purpose of these grants is to teach workers the skills required in emerging industries including energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Recovery Act: Competitive Grants for Green Job Training

“Most important, the tremendous growth of jobs in Arkansas' clean energy economy shows that what's good for the environment is also what's good for our economic development. And it's the right thing to do… right for the environment, right for our economy, and right for Arkansas.” - Governor Mike Beebe

Standard (NGBS), to EPA’s Energy Star Home program, or to just build with best practices to be a high performance home with low energy costs?’ Students learn how to recognize features in a home that will contribute to comfort, durability, low energy bills, safe and healthy living environment, how they work and why they make a difference, reports and certifications provided under EPA’s ENERGY STAR® Home program, LEED for Homes, or NAHB’s National Green Building Standard, how to find comparables , and how to add the value these homes deserve.

Lenders– Energy Efficient Mortgages, or PITI+Energy: Energy efficiency mortgages (EEMS) can provide mortgage incentives for new or existing homes. Learn what has changed and how. Learn why some lenders offer incentives such as paying closing costs for financing new homes qualified under EPA’s ENERGY STAR Home program. Learn how with FHA and VA loans, qualified buyers can roll the cost of energy improvements for inefficient homes into their mortgage and pay for the improvements over the life of the loan with the money saved with lower utility bills. Learn the process, who to call, what is required, and how to make it happen quickly and not slow down loan closing. Understand the requirements for an energy inspection by an approved HERS Energy Rater who provides the required loan file documentation that the added mortgage payment will be offset by the utility savings. The result is a win-win with a more secure loan for the lender and a more affordable home for the buyer—all at no cost to the buyer, the seller, the lender or the taxpayer!

Shopping for a Home– The Questions You Wish You'd Asked: This class will explore the features buyers most often wish they’d asked: Will the house be comfortable to live in? Will the bills be reasonable? Will the air quality be good? Will it be noisy? Will it be high maintenance? How can we know and what are clues we should look for? Is a home inspection enough or should I also get an energy audit inspection? When shopping for a new or existing home, most people think about location, price, and style and not much about what it will be like to actually live in it. Are their utility incentives or tax credits to offset the cost of improvements? How can I roll the cost of improvements into my mortgage and pay for them with utility savings? Are there contractors trained in this work? How can I tell how efficient my mechanical system is really performing? Who is trained to do these things?

Geothermal H-GTL-1 Training Geothermal heat pumps or ground source heat pumps (GSHPs) are used as central heating or cool-ing systems and take advantage of using either the ground or bodies of water as sources of heat exchange. The earth is always absorbing heat from the sun making ground temperatures cooler than the air in the summer and warmer than the air in the winter. This makes it an optimal source of heat exchange. A GSHP works by taking heat from the ground or water and transferring it to an-other location, or it can be used as a cooling unit by taking the heat from a location such as a house and dispensing it into the ground or water. GSHPs are one of the most efficient residential heating and cooling systems. The system can range from 300% to 600% efficiency on the coldest winter nights compared to 175%-250% for air source heat pumps on the same nights.

Using the hands on approach, the H-GTL-1 water source heat pump demonstrates the open loop heating and cooling system. This type of system pumps water from a source to heat or cool an area and expel the water to another location.

Course topics include: Introduction to Geothermal Systems

Operation — Heating System

Operation — Air Conditioning System

Capillary Tube Metering Device

Pressure Enthalpy Charts

Relative Humidity and Psychometrics

Graywater System H-PST-1 Training Americans are becoming increasingly aware of how we use, and reuse Water. The household use of Gray water can be a unique way to go Green. Graywater is wastewater generated from domestic activities such as laundry, dishwashing, and bathing, which can be recycled on-site for uses such as landscape irrigation and constructed wetlands. Graywater differs from water from the toilets which is designated sewage or blackwater to indicate it contains human waste. Graywater composes 50–80% of residential wastewater generated from all of the house's sanitation equipment (except toi-lets).

Students will be taught plumbing codes, installation process, maintenance, and repair.

Residential Piping H-RPT-1 Training

In the interest of water conservation, engineers are designing various different water closets and flushing devices. The H-RPT-1 Trainer represents four different methods of low volume flushing. Students will be allowed to study, observe, and document the different types of flushing systems available and the amount of water consumed due to the design of the trainer. In addition, students will be instructed on the installation process, maintenance, and plumbing codes regarding each type of flusher.

Solar Photovoltaic H-SPT-AC-1 Training Systems using solar photovoltaic cells offer the user a practical alternative to the difficulties of sup-plying electric power to remote locations. For example, a solar array can be used to power the pumping facilities of a remote African village while being use as the sole means of power for a mountain top radio repeater in another.

The Hampden H-SPT-AC-1 is a control system trainer which lets the student technician examine the electrical layout and operational features normally associated with a photovoltaic power source. The trainer demonstrates the electrical characteristics of the solar array, storage battery, AC/DC dis-tribution, and AC/DC loading. The complete charging sequence can be observed. Provisions are made for an external load. A 12 volt charger/controller provide overall system control and opera-tion. A 120 VAC, 375 W inverter completes the system.

The trainer layout is represented pictorially on the face of the trainer. Terminal points are brought out so that voltage and current measurements can be taken. The trainer is fully instrumented. Patch cords are provided s that the user can make the connections between the test points and the meter. Separate AC/DC loads can be connected to the terminal points.

Solar Thermal H-SST-1A Training Green energy consists of energy sources which are clean and environmentally friendly. These sources are typically forms of renewable energy which do not pollute our planet. One of the many sources of green energy is the sun, which energy is obtained through solar collectors.

Solar collectors absorb the suns energy using solar panels. Water is pumped through them to be heated. Solar collectors can be used as low cost water heaters. Typically applications include pool heaters that use solar energy to heat the water.

Students will achieve the following objectives including a general overview of solar thermal, under-stand different practical applications, and perform the following 6 hands on experiments:

Experiment 1 Angle Variation

Experiment 2 Time of Day Variation

Experiment 3 Time of Year Variation

Experiment 4 Solar Panel Manipulation

Experiment 5 Flow Rate Manipulations

Experiment 6 Heating Rates

50 | AESP

Wind Turbine H-WPG-1B Training Green energy is a source of energy that is considered clean and environmentally friendly. These types of energy usually come from renewable recourses which do not pollute or harm the planet. One type of renewable resource which can produce green energy is the wind. A wind turbine pro-duces energy by converting the kinetic energy in wind to electricity. It does this by striking large fan propellers that are attached to a shaft which cause it to turn. This turning shaft is connected to a generator and as the shaft turns it induces an electromagnetic field across the windings, resulting in the production of electricity.

Students are given a general overview of the wind turbine to include history, terminology, new tech-nology, job forecasts, etc. In addition, the students will perform the following four hands on experi-ments:

Experiment 1 Varying Wind Speed

Experiment 2 Wind Speed Measurements

Experiment 3 Varying Wind Angle

Experiment 4 Varying Wind Angle and Speed
