Understanding how energy works within a building can be an abstract concept. The Green Energy in Buildings Trainer by LJ Create transforms this complexity into a tangible learning experience. It provides a complete model home, fully instrumented and ready for the classroom. This hands-on resource allows students to investigate the fundamental principles of energy efficiency and green energy production in a controlled environment. They can actively change variables, such as lighting technologies or insulation types, and see the immediate results on energy consumption. The trainer is designed for educators who need to demonstrate cause and effect in building science, making it an essential tool for an evidence-based approach to learning.
This trainer builds a systematic understanding of how different energy systems interact within a building. Students learn to analyze energy use by exploring how home wind turbines and solar electric systems generate power for a household. They investigate the principles of energy for heating buildings and measure the effectiveness of a solar water heating system. The unit is designed to allow for direct comparison of different insulation materials and glazing performance, revealing their impact on energy conservation. Furthermore, the trainer demystifies the core principles of modern heat pumps. This practical approach ensures students gain a comprehensive and applicable knowledge of sustainable building technology.

Aidex is proud to supply the Green Energy in Buildings Trainer to learning institutions across the Midwest. We are committed to equipping educators and students in the region with the industry-leading tools they need to succeed.
The curriculum focuses on hands-on investigation of several key areas, including overall energy use in buildings, home wind turbines, solar electric systems, energy for heating, solar water heating, insulation and glazing performance, and the principles of heat pumps.
This trainer is ideal for students in high school, career and technical education (CTE), and college-level programs. It is particularly relevant for courses in engineering, sustainable design, environmental science, and architecture.
The included interface software displays critical data in real time, allowing students to monitor the building’s total energy consumption as well as key variables like internal and external temperatures and light levels.
No, the trainer comes complete with the necessary interface software. This software is designed to provide a clear, real-time display of all key data points for analysis during practical activities.
The trainer allows for the use of different insulation and glazing materials. Students can physically change these components and then use the software to monitor heat loss and energy consumption for heating, providing direct, measurable evidence of each material’s performance.
