Huge challenges need urgent solutions. Learn about both, and become part of the solutions! Global climate change is mainly caused by emissions due to peoples’ daily energy uses. ‘Think globally, act locally’ is necessary to trigger urgent and drastic changes.

Quantitative evaluation of technologies and techniques for reducing energy demand of residential-scale buildings. Heating and cooling load calculations, financial analysis, passive-solar design techniques, water heating systems, photovoltaic system sizing for net-zero-energy all-electric homes.

Clean and renewable energy technologies are catalysts for the current energy transformation towards a more sustainable future. The Graduate Certificate in Sustainable Energy Technologies is an advanced program for individuals who want to be equipped with the knowledge of the latest advances in clean energy, sustainability and how policies can shape the future of the sector.

This theme will bring the most updated and relevant issues regarding Brazilian research in energy obtained by biomass

Explore and gain applied skills to respond to the climate crisis through sustainable energy solutions. The Certificate in Climate Solutions and Sustainable Energy includes training in energy efficiency, renewable and distributed energy resources, and community energy and climate change planning. The United Nations has identified Climate Action and Clean and Affordable Energy, among its key Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There is a growing market for sustainable energy practitioners in Canada and around the world.

A wind turbine technician, also known as a Wind Tech, is a person who is specially trained to prevent wind turbines from malfunctioning or stopping completely. This is done by providing wind farms with routine inspections, troubleshooting any problems, and repairing the wind turbines when necessary. Students in safety gear standing in front of CCCC wind turbine.Wind Techs routinely inspect wind turbines to make sure they are in good working order. Wind turbine inspections require the technician to climb the turbine and inspect all the parts of the turbine. If any problems are found, then the technician will note the problems and schedule it for repair. Routine maintenance or common repairs of wind turbines include component replacement, hydraulic system repair, troubleshooting electrical issues, fluid changes, and torqueing the turbine.

The Alternative Energy-Solar Technology Certificate program is intended to allow students interested in an alternative energy career. This Certificate will provide students with the comprehensive understanding, manipulative skills, technical knowledge, and related trade information required to prepare them for the nationally recognized Solar NABCEP PV and SH Entry Level Exams.

The design of the program is interdisciplinary, combining coursework in project management and finance for renewable and efficient energy projects with training in operating and maintaining environmentally friendly, healthy, and efficient buildings.

Graduates of the Sustainable Energy Systems (SES) Program have a broad understanding of energy efficiency and conservation, comprehensive energy and electrical-load audits, alternative electrical energy generation using photovoltaics, wind turbines, fuel cells, and micro-hydro.

Building on the Short-Term and One-Year Certificates in Sustainable Agriculture, the Associate of Applied Science in Sustainable Agriculture will allow you explore careers in in agriculture and food systems. You will learn key sustainability and land stewardship skills while studying the interactions between food, human health, and ecosystem services. You will contribute to the production, distribution, and marketing of locally grown produce through hands-on experiences with local farmers and growers.

The Wind Energy Systems (WES.online) Diploma of Advanced Studies (DAS) allow you to specialize in different aspects of wind energy. Each of them exists of five carefully selected modules that will teach you exactly that knowledge which you need to achieve your goal. All modules are part of our master's program Online M.Sc. Wind Energy Systems which was designed for natural scientists and engineers who want to become part of the wind energy industry.
