Cours du semestre d'automne offerts

SEAD 510. Energy Analysis.

Note: For information about Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 course offerings, please check back on May 8, 2025. Until then, the "Terms offered" field will appear blank for most courses while the class schedule is being finalized.

Credits: 4
Offered by: Trottier Inst Sust,Eng&Design (Faculty of Engineering)
This course is not offered this catalogue year.

Description

Critical analysis of the importance of energy to society, the unsustainability of the current energy system, and potential options for a sustainable energy system. Topics include: peak oil and climate change, fundamental energy metrics, traditional and alternative primary and secondary power systems, and energy storage technologies. Quantitative energy analysis is applied to a set of case studies investigating energy use, energy generation, and energy storage and transport.
  • (3-0-9)
  • Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
  • Restrictions: Restricted to students registered in the Faculty of Engineering (including the School of Architecture and the School of Urban Planning).
  • Not open to undergraduate students in Chemical Engineering.

Most students use Visual Schedule Builder (VSB) to organize their schedules. VSB helps you plan class schedules, travel time, and more.
