Watt's in the News - Volume 32

BTU Crew Newsletter Volume #24: Energy Efficiency & Growing Career Opportunities

Last week we revisited the topic of eminent domain and provided examples across several states where energy-related developments are front-page news. Gaining a better understanding of these challenges, it is easy to see why energy efficiency is one of the fastest-growing career opportunities…it saves $ AND reduces demand at the same time!

Looking at sustainability requires a big picture perspective on energy resources of all kinds, so students need to be able to analyze charts showing all the various energy sources to understand our current use of renewable & non-renewable energy. As it relates to charts and graphs, the diagrams are sometimes not shown according to scale, so included in this section would be the ability for students to calculate percentages similar to what is shared in the following video from the Lawrence Livermore National Lab: Everything You Need to Know About the Energy Flowcharts - YouTube   (8 min. video)

The second NC3 Data Analytics certification, “Optimizing Energy & Sustainability with Data Analytics,” is a ten hour certification that builds on what students learn in the first certification, “Harnessing the Power of Data.” Combined, they provide a great opportunity to increase career awareness and create the energy needed for consumers as our country plans and prepares for the future.

Have a great week!
