Master the thermodynamic principles, resource assessment methodologies, and system integration concepts required to plan sustainable energy solutions for modern buildings. This course covers the theoretical foundations of solar thermal collectors, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), geothermal heat exchange systems, biomass heating, and passive solar architectural design. You will develop the analytical skills needed to calculate building energy balances, evaluate regulatory compliance under Energy Performance of Buildings Directives (EPBD), assess lifecycle environmental impacts, and conduct feasibility studies for integrating renewable energy technologies into residential and commercial structures.
