Critical Facilities – Emergency Electric Power

Providing emergency electric power is of critical importance for several types of facilities, and can be mandated by regulatory agencies.  For example – emergency egress lighting, hospital emergency rooms, cooling for medical supplies storage, and protection from interruption of public utilities. These systems also help in preventing significant economic losses and, in some cases, disastrous results from natural events.  This course presents key information regarding emergency electric power. Included in the topics covered are emergency vs. standby systems, applicable codes, terms and definitions, system components, environmental considerations, and fuel systems.  Technical personnel in the design, engineering, maintenance and operations areas of facilities will find this information extremely valuable.
