Low Energy Construction and Energy Production in FutureLaajuus (5 ECTS)

Objective

After completing the course, students can explain the basics of low energy construction methods in new and renovatied buildings and the effects of different factors to the energy consumption of the building. The student has gained an overall picture of future energy solutions and related basic techniques and constraints both from the domestic and the global perspective (production, transfer, storage, climate change).

Content

Low energy construction (2 ECTS): influence of different factors to the energy efficiency of a building.
Energy production in future (3 ECTS): centralized CHP based power solutions, decentralized, renewable energy production, intelligent energy transmission networks, energy storing
