The goal of the Clean Energy Technology Program is to provide students with the theoretical and practical knowledge and skills necessary for a career in sustainable building design, construction, maintenance and management. Emphasis is on residential and commercial building design with specialties in passive solar and sustainable (green) building Design and photovoltaic (solar electric) system design. In this program, students obtain a background in alternative energy and an understanding of practices in high performance and zero energy building practices including alternative energy systems, green building techniques, and designing and installing residential and commercial electric, metering and control systems. The program will have a strong hands-on component through the advantageous location of the Washington State University Zero Energy House which is permanently located on the main campus of Shoreline Community College. This training will enable students to prepare for the Silicon Energy Manufacturing Solar Installation Certification and the National PV Installer Certification through the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners NABCEP.
