The course introduces the students in the  energy audit and energy  efficiency in buildings.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

• Analyze the data required for the energy audit of buildings.
• Calculate the energy balance, heating and cooling loads of buildings and scenarios of energy efficiency .
• Evaluate the parameters that affect the energy behavior of buildings.

• Work autonomously
• Respect of the natural environment.
