Educational Goals

At the end of the course the student will know the main physical principles to design and verify the low energy buildings.
The Focuses will be:
The reduction of energy consumptions;
Building energy efficiency improvement;
The human comfort and the indoor quality and climatic conditions;

Content

Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU and the European Council emphasised the need to increase to energy efficiency in the Union so as to achieve the objective of reducing by 20% the Union's energy consumption by 2020.
The aim of the course is to know the main physical laws governing the energy efficiency of buildings. Particular attention will be given to the analysis of the building envelope.
