Module 3: Basic Principles of Energy
Module 2: Basic Principles of Energy Building Energy Auditing Course Page Module 2: Basic Principles of Energy Energy and Its Various Forms Energy is very simply defined as the ability to do work. In technical terms, work is defined as force applied through displacement (the vector equivalent of distance): W = F x d Energy can take many different forms and do many different types of work. One very important law of nature, which guides the process of Energy management, is that Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another. The forms of Energy discussed in this Guidebook include chemical Energy , nuclear Energy , thermal Energy , mechanical Energy , and electrical Energy . Chemical Energy Chemical Energy is the Energy which helps to "glue" atoms together in those clusters called molecules, or chemical compounds. Of special interest to us are substances such as natural gas, or propane, or oil that are capable of releasing some of that Energy .
