Objective

You are familiar with the energy efficiency requirements for buildings and the related future goals. You know the methods for managing and improving energy efficiency, such as energy audits and analyses. You know the current energy regulations for buildings and can apply them to the energy certificate and the calculation of total energy consumption.
You can computationally examine the energy use of a building and assess and improve its energy efficiency.

Knowledge and understanding
You know the energy efficiency requirements, energy regulations and calculation principles of a building.

Practical application of technology
You can apply the calculation principles you have learned to a practical target

Research and information retrieval
You learn to independently interpret and apply regulations and calculation principles and to draw conclusions from them.

Content

Energy-efficient use and development of property. Energy efficiency indicators, environmental classifications and future goals. Energy audits and analysis of energy consumption. Regulations and calculation principles for the building’s total energy consumption and heating power demand and their application to a practical target.
