Course Objectives
By the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate the energy consumption of both new and existing buildings and propose effective energy-saving measures. They will learn to calculate residential thermal loads, understand and apply solar energy systems used in buildings, and size heating systems appropriately. The course also develops students’ proficiency in bioclimatic design techniques.
Additionally, students will gain a solid foundation in the principles of energy efficiency. They will become familiar with key terminology in the energy sector, the different types of energy sources, and the processes through which electricity is produced and consumed in industrial settings. A central objective of this course is to demonstrate how energy can be used more efficiently, how it can be produced in cleaner ways from renewable sources, and how it can be better managed to reduce waste and environmental impact.
