Objective

You know the benefits of a dynamic calculation software to improve the energy efficiency in buildings.
You can research energy efficiency improvement`s effect to indoor conditions with the dynamic calculation software.

Content

How is it possible to ensure building`s energy efficiency?
How you can research with dynamic calculation software indoor climate`s effect to building`s indoor comfort and energy efficiency?
How different automatic control systems can change energy consumption in buildings?
How different kind of ventilation systems and air handling units can change energy consumption in buildings?

Monthly-based study path
You take part in the monthly-based teaching and tutoring. You study according to the group timetable and do the given homework independently.

Time-saving path
You study independently the material of the course and do the required learning tasks and/or take the exam. If you have earlier knowledge about the subject you can show your knowledge as agreed with your teacher.

Work-integrated path
If you are working during your studies you may be able to do some of your studies integrated with your job. You must talk with your teacher about this and find a suitable developing project at your work place. You have to include theoretical knowledge in your studies. You show your knowledge so that the aims of the course will be fulfilled.
