  2008 NEC Grounding

4-Hours | Only $155.80
This 4-hour interactive online course is a review of Article 250 of the 2008 National Electrical Code® which describes proper grounding and electrical bonding procedures. The course paraphrases the various sections of Article 250 and offers some additional explanatory comments and diagrams. This course is intended to interpret and help explain the critically important concepts of grounding and bonding as defined in the Code. However, the NEC should be considered the final authority on code issues.If there is a difference between this course and the Code, the code must be followed as written.

Renewable Sources of Energy: Wind Power

3-Hours | Only $80.85
By emphasizing the economic and environmental benefits of wind power to both the consumer and distributor of electricity, this 3-hour interactive online course answers the question, 'Why are consumers and utilities choosing wind power as a Renewable Source of Energy?' This course explains what wind energy is and how it is converted to electricity through the mechanics of wind turbines. In its examination of the economics of wind power, it addresses such issues as Net Metering and Interconnection Requirements as they pertain to small-scale wind turbines, and the Renewable Portfolio Standard, Renewable Energy Credits, and Green Power as they pertain to utility-scale wind turbines. It also outlines recent developments in Wind Power in conjunction with the Wind Powering America Initiative.

  A Comparison of Seismic Design Methods

1-Hour | Only $49.95
There are basically four different types of seismic design methods. Most building designers immediately assume that the building code provides the best seismic design method. This is a good assumption, as the engineer must satisfy the building code regardless of their preferences. Besides, the building code seismic design is accepted and relied upon even though no one might check its applicability.  This 1-hour interactive online course presents different seismic design methods to familiarize the design community with these options. The course will not determine the shear forces, but gives a basic comparison of application, and cost of the different design methods. The course is written with respect to pre-1980 versions of building codes primarily to emphasize some of the code changes that have been made since that time. As an extra, the course provides a comparison of seismic coefficients used by different countries giving some surprising results.
