The Georgetown campus of South Seattle Community College is offering a hybrid-online 4 credit college class, “Lighting Design For Energy Efficiency”, that may be of interest to people with experience working in Resource Conservation Management and energy efficiency fields. The class will be offered Monday & Wednesday evenings and three Saturdays. Classes start January 9th at our Georgetown campus in Seattle. Funding is available for all tuition, books and fees. The flyer lists the type of employment background and prerequisites that would help predict success in this class. Applicants begin the enrollment process by contacting Dixie Yamane at TRAC Associates. Dixie’s contact information is on the flyer which is located online here.

During Spring quarter the Georgetown Campus of South Seattle Community College will be offering three federally-funded courses in the field of commercial building sustainability. We thought that you, or someone you know, might be interested.

On Thursday February 24^th from 6 – 8pm we will be hosting an open house to explore two of these offerings: High Performance Buildings: The Integration of Sustainability and Science and Level 1 Commercial Energy Auditing.

Tuition, fees, and all supplies are covered through a federal grant for qualified participants. Participants may be currently employed and there are no geographic residency limitations (other than the ability to attend the classes).

Click this link to see the on-line brochure for complete course details and information regarding the up-coming open house.

Feel free to forward this on to anyone you know who might be interested.

The Association of Energy Engineers, AEE, has jumped on the bandwagon, too. Now, being offered is a Fundamentals of Energy Auditing course, and they developed a test with some books. www.aeecenter.org

A Ben Meadows catalog appeared in my mail box. It has items some of the members might like. I do not recall seeing this item previously, www.BenMeadows.com . I have not checked the Ben Meadows web site out myself as of yet. You have to be an engineer to join AEE, but I do not know if that is true for their courses.
