ABOUT THE COURSE
In this educational training course, participants will begin to explore the three main ways buildings use the energy that contributes to their energy bills. Participants will learn about these load types and get an introduction to the systems and machines that make a modern building function. This course also introduces basic thermodynamic concepts and discusses several real-world situations where energy conservation goals and building function collided. Participants will explore common building energy usages and will hear about various measurement practices and best practices for evaluating loads to enhance energy efficiency.

Love these jeans! Flattering, comfy, tts fit, good price
Size: 16, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
I love these jeans. I'm 5'7 and normally wear a 16 in jeans. These fit perfectly, it carry all my weight in my midsection and hips and the rise on these is high which I like, but there's enough room and stretch in the waist that they don't dig in. I ordered these when the price was around 23 dollars, which I think was an excellent value, I am going to order the other wash as well. They're not too thick but not too thin, perfectly stretchy but don't get stretched out, and they're comfortable. The leg opening is the perfect amount of flare without being like a bell bottom.

My new go to jeans!!!
5'6", 235lbs, my jeans from LB were mostly size 18 - these 18 fit just as nicely if not better. They are a little long but since I wear boots every day working in the construction field, they do not drag. Love the extra high waist. Don't feel like I bare all when bending over. Needed to replace my jeans from a high dollar plus sized company that keep wearing thin in the thigh but hate the $60-$80 price per pair... again... I work in construction. First I just bought one pair. LOVED THEM the first time I wore them. After their first wash, they were just as great. No color bleed and no shrinking. I immediately ordered two more pair. This is the first pair of jeans I have fallen in love with for years due to their comfort. Appear to be of good quality. I think I look amazing in them which is not something I use often to describe myself. Don't appear to stretch too much during wear. I usually don't review products, but I know how frustrating finding a good pair of jeans can be, especially for larger ladies. I am so excited about and happy with these jeans, I just had to share.

Cute, good quality. Wish there were more sizes available.
Size: 20, Color: Iced Blue Light Wash
Only 4 stars because once again, sizing for women's jeans isn't telling the truth/whole truth/nothing but the truth. I can wear a 20 in other jeans and they're sagging on me by midday. Some 20's feel like 18's. I don't know man. But sizing aside, these jeans are SUPER cute. And I just know that when I am able to sit in them without suffocating ... ladies, you know what I'm saying 😆 ... they're going to be so comfortable too. The material feels like really nice quality. They aren't true high rise but high enough to hold everything together. More like a medium high rise. I was really bummed they didn't have a 22. But I guess this is incentive. I'll order some amazon exercise clothing and work out until these fit me. I'd say they're on the 1/2 size too small of being true to size. But that's not really a fair assessment when no two different brands of jeans are the same in any capacity. If you're positive what size jeans you wear then I 100% recommend these. I can't wait to fit into mine.

Must buy. Flattering and comfortable
Size: 8, Color: Classic Medium Wash
Great fit! These jeans are the most comfortable jeans I have purchased in years. Fabric is soft and has some stretch so my the end of the day you are not feeling like a sausage. The cut is very flattering and the quality is better than many of the more expensive jeans on the market.
