A large percentage of thisconsumption is accounted for by the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) needs ofthe building. Students and entry level engineers in this field need to have a firm understandingof energy mechanisms and processes specific to building systems. This includes new renewableenergy and energy efficiency technologies. They also need to be familiar with a constantlychanging and growing list of subsidiary knowledge; such as construction principles, advancedcontrol systems, state and federal energy standards, and new professional certifications.Over the last several years the author has worked with entry level and experienced HVACengineers as a Student Branch
