Please note! Course description is confirmed for two academic years, which means that in general, e.g. Learning outcomes, assessment methods and key content stays unchanged. However, via course syllabus, it is possible to specify or change the course execution in each realization of the course, such as how the contact sessions are organized, assessment methods weighted or materials used.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
After passing the course the student
- knows the key energy consumers in the building s energy balance
- knows the basic terminology and definitions related to (nearly) net-zero energy buildings, plus energy buildings and hybrid smart grids
- understands the principles of on-site energy generation, grid interaction and energy matching
- knows the key sustainable building envelope components, advanced energy storage and HVAC systems
- knows the key technologies and systems for the utilization of renewable energy
- understands the relationship between the temperature of the heat source, exergy and the Carnot efficiency in the context of building energy systems (the concept of energy quality)
